Lea Michele may actually be “Most Likely to Succeed” on Emmy night for her turn as Rachel Berry on Fox’s musical comedy sensation “Glee.” Michele dishes with THR’s Leslie Bruce about making the shift from Broadway to television comedienne, her inner Gleek and fantasies about Justin Timberlake.

THR: “Glee” is scheduled to air in the coveted post-Super Bowl time slot. Whose music are you hoping the episode will celebrate?

Michele: I think they are saving Justin Timberlake for the Super Bowl episode. They have to be, because he is so perfect for our show. He has to be on it! When I met Jessica Biel, like a loser, I asked her to tell Justin to come on our show (laughs). She was a little taken aback and said, “Um, OK. I’ll tell him.” If not Justin, I would hope it would be the sequel to the Madonna episode. She has so many more amazing songs we didn’t even touch.
