Armchair Casting Director: Who should play Sue Sylvester's parents?

SPOILERS REGARGING NEXT SEASON!

The mind boggles when it tries to imagine what kind of people could have brought Glee’s Sue Sylvester into the world. Or maybe that’s just my mind. At any rate, we won’t have to imagine for much longer, as rumor has it the Fox hit will introduce her Nazi-hunting mom and dad next season. Who should play them? Dare I suggest…

Jeffrey Tambor and Jessica Walter: Not only would re-pairing these scene-stealers formerly known (and loved) as the Bluths as the Sylvesters make good visual sense — like Sue, they’re tall (him) and lean (her) – it would make the waiting for the Arrested Development movie at least a teensiest smidgen more bearable.

Michael McKean and Lesley Anne Warren: I picked him because, well, is there nothing the Spinal Tap alum doesn’t make funnier? (Don’t bother to answer, I was being rhetorical.) Then I thought, “Hey, isn’t it about time somebody capitalized on the chemistry Mr. Green and Miss Scarlet had in Clue?” (You can answer that one, just answer yes.)

Fabio and Tina Louise: What better way to explain the coach’s obsession with beauty than by making her parents two beautiful people? Plus, wouldn’t the romance-novel cover-gramps’ accent be a tremendous asset in his, um, Nazi-hunting? And it’s just been too damn long since I’ve seen the erstwhile Ginger Grant! (Added bonus: She can sing!)

Wilford Brimley and Betty White: Okay, come on, right now, what show doesn’t want the 24-karat Golden Girl to make a cameo? Plus, the idea of someone so sweet as the mother of someone so… not… it’s sublime! And if we’re gonna meet the Cheerios leader’s dad, hiring the former Quaker Oats pitchman is just the right thing to do and a tasty way to do it.

Okay, your turn. Who do you think should play Sue’s Daddy and Mommie Dearest? Weigh in below.
