Dolton native Jane Lynch did not forget her Southland roots Sunday night after winning the Emmy for her role as the dastardly cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester on “Glee.”

Lynch, who graduated from Thornridge High School in the mid-1970s, gave a shout out to the South Side of Chicago upon accepting the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series.

“This is outlaaaandish,” Lynch said as she took the stage to accept her trophy.

She then thanked her parents “for being so unintentionally hilarious!”

A short time later, Lynch was up for another Emmy as the wisecracking psychiatrist on “Two And A Half Men” with Charlie Sheen.

Lynch, who is busy taping new episodes of “Glee,” now is set to host “Saturday Night Live” when that show returns in October.
