Last year, she’s teamed up with Kate Flannery and Tim Davis on A Swingin’ Little Christmas, a big-bad era inspired Christmas album. Jane Lynch sits down with Jesse to talk about that album, her arms-length relationship with Christmas, and what it was like for her to come out as gay after comedians like Ellen DeGeneres and Rosie O’Donnell paved the way.

If you’re in Los Angeles you can see her perform songs from her Christmas album at Largo at the Coronet on Wednesday, December 20.
