Jane Lynch ‘Honored’ To Share Cory Monteith’s ‘Generous Spirit’ At Emmys

Cory Monteith was remembered at Sunday’s Emmy Awards by his co-star Jane Lynch, who told Access Hollywood she was touched that she was able to pay tribute to her late co-star.

“I was really honored just to be able to tell people who Cory was. He was a guy who had such a huge heart and a generous spirit,” she told Access at the Fox Emmy Party.

“It’s so sad that he’s gone,” she added.

The actress hoped the tribute helped “Glee” viewers.

“I know there are a bunch of fans out there mourning his loss and I think it was good for us to stand up there with a picture of his beautiful mug and remember who he was,” she continued.

“Neil was amazing,” Jane, who has previously hosted the show, said with a smile. “So charming and so effortless, he puts us all to shame, those of us who have tried to do this.”
