Brittany's parents are played by Ken Jeong (The Hangover, Community) and Jennifer Coolidge (American Pie, 2 Broke Girls) in the final season of Glee. The news was revealed by another new actor to the show, Billy Lewis, Jr., who is set to play one half of twin cheerleaders.
"When filming the wedding episodes actually, there were a couple of amazing comedians that come in," Lewis told HollywoodLife recently. "Ken Jeong and Jennifer Coolidge play Brittany's parents in the show and watching the two of them work is like gold. It's like a comedic masterclass. The way they come up with new lines on the spot and make each other laugh constantly. It's just gold."

One of those weddings Lewis mentions is between Brittany and Santana (Naya Rivera), so with all of these characters in the mix and converging for the wedding, hilarity is bound to ensue.
Lewis also discussed his role as Mason, along with the character's twin sister Madison, with the two of them being comedic relief early on in the season.
"We're definitely the comic relief right off the bat," Lewis said. "We have a tip of the hat to Brittany, just nice, light and carefree. Until we get into a little more of some storyline stuff later on."
Glee's sixth and final season is slated to premiere Friday, Jan. 9 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
