  No Holds Barred: FOX Stars Discuss Sarah Palin, Simon Cowell, and Conan O'Brien

  Sarah Palin! Simon Cowell! "Glee!" Conan O'Brien? Multiple headlines were made Monday at the FOX TCA's in Pasadena. The stars from your favorite FOX shows weighed in on the issues.

   

  
  

  Vice-Presidential nominee Sarah Palin is headed to Fox News. "House"'s Olivia Wilde expressed her allegiance, saying, "I love the Fox network, but I can't say anything about Fox News."

  Aisha Tyler of the new show "Archer" did not hold back her opinion: "My only question is, I feel like to be qualified as a pundit, you actually have to have a basic mastery of the English language, so I don't think she's qualified for the job."

  The cast of "Glee" is enjoying a week of partying. They found out while on set Monday that their hit show got picked up early for a second season. Jessalyn Gilsig said, "I'm still pinching myself. I feel like this has all happened really fast and I feel like we're getting these pickups faster than we're used to, so I'm just grateful to be on the list."

  The gleaming cast is also prepping for their Golden Globe debut. Chris Colfer told ET he'll be accompanied by his cast mates on the big night: "This is kind of like prom for me, so I'm glad to be going with a group, rather than bringing a parent." Kevin McHale will likely wear a tux for the occasion, but stated, "It's a lady's nights. The ladies are going to look beautiful."

  Conan jumped coasts a few months ago, moving from New York to Los Angeles. Rumors are swirling that he will make another jump…from his post at NBC to FOX. Aisha said, "I am going to stir the tea leaves inside and see what I hear."

  "Glee" star Jane Lynch said of the rumor, "I did the Conan O'Brien show about two weeks ago and he's about the nicest guy in the whole world. So, it'd be wonderful to have him in the FOX family."

  And the biggest entertainment news of all, Simon Cowell announced the season of "American Idol" that debuts tonight will be his last before launching an American version of his British "X Factor." Chris Colfer wondered, "Who are they going to find to replace him?...Maybe a couple of us from 'Glee,' we'll do guest appearances."

  Aisha said, "That's confusing....I think that 'American Idol' is one of the few shows to have done this well for this long. It's almost an anomaly...It may be a kinder, gentler 'Idol' after he's gone."
