While TVLine says that a source tells them that the character, to be named Tammy Jean, "really isn't anything like Palin," the casting breakdown the show put out may indicate otherwise. According to Movie Line, the show was in search of a "recent Tea Party candidate and home schooler -- a Sarah Palin type."

Either way, the casting is a bit of a culmination of a close relationship Griffin has had with the "Glee" cast. In October, she appeared with cast members at an LGBTQ advocacy event at Occidental College in California, and shared an on-stage kiss with Chris Colfer. And, she's gotten chummy with the show's teacher and adult figure, Matthew Morrison.
