Parker Posey - "Lindsay Carlisle Shay", Parks and Recreation
Sherri Shepherd - "Angie Jordan", 30 Rock
Conroy brought a light touch and a loopy energy to Max's mother, providing a low-key counterpart to Tara while also suggesting a rich history. Jones sadly didn't get enough to do in the post-Regionals half of the Glee season, but she balanced the character's quirks with a real sense of pathos and a grounded adultness that isn't always present in the show. With a second appearance as the second Mrs. Swanson, Mullally elevated her character to the Parks and Recreation version of Event Television. I get why some people don't like Gwyneth, but I think she brought an appealing zaniness to her turn as Glee's wanderlust-driven substitute teacher. Posey's glorious snootiness as Lindsay Carlisle Shay was a great example of an actor playing an established niche to the hilt. I've always enjoyed Shepherd's performance as Angie, but this season in particular the "Queen of Jordan" episode was a highlight for 30 Rock.
