Cory Monteith Remembered by Jane Lynch on 'The Tonight Show'

Gleeks across the world are mourning the recent loss of Cory Monteith. Glee's shinning star died from a lethal mix of alcohol and heroin last weekend. Jane Lynch, who worked alongside Monteith on the hit Fox show since its 2009 premiere, remembered him Wednesday night while on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. 

After Leno commended Lynch for still showing up despite the passing of her co-star and friend, Lynch held back tears as she fondly remembered Monteith. The Annie actress praised Monteith's inspiring spirit, saying, "He was one of those guys that, you know, he knew he was breathing rarified air. The gifts… this wonderful show gave us. And he was one of those guys aware that it was a gift."
