“She makes Sue look like Mother Teresa.”

That’s Carol Burnett talking about her guest spot as Sue Sylvester’s mother on Tuesday’s episode of “Glee.” What a terrifying thought. But Sue’s mom, Doris, did hunt Nazis so we suppose that would make Sue and her Machiavellian high school schemes look like harmless fun.

In addition to shining a light on Sue’s background, Doris’ return also gives Jane Lynch the opportunity to sing again when Sue and Doris duet on ‘Ohio’ from the musical “Wonderful Town.” Check out some previews of the episode below, including one of Kurt (Chris Colfer) signing up the Glee Club for wedding entertainment duty.

Readers, are you excited for Tuesday night’s “Glee” wedding? What do you think of Burnett as Sue’s mother? And if you’re a Gleek youngin’ not familiar with Carol Burnett, please educate yourself with this famous clip.
