Chris joked that his day suddenly “got full” after Michelle Collins suggested we watch Funny Girl, more than two years after Lea came under fire for alleged bullying on the set of Glee.

“By the way, Chrissy, guess what I’m doing tonight? Oh my God, you have to come when you’re here,” Michelle asked during an interview with Chris on her show. The Michelle Collins show.

“Oh no, do you see Funny Girl?” Chris asked Michelle.

“That’s me,” Michelle replied.

“Oh,” Chris replied in a hushed tone before adding, “My day is suddenly so full.”
