Some people think Illinois is in the middle of nowhere. Until you’ve been there, and you realize it’s just the opposite. It’s where east meets west, where Tina met Amy, where Barack met Michelle. It’s the epicenter of history, food, music, and entertainment. Welcome to “The Middle of Everything.” For this Illinois Tourism campaign, we were lucky enough to partner with Chicago comedy legend Jane Lynch, for her official directorial debut. Join her as she takes you on a tour of her home state, showing off all that “The Middle” has to offer.
Directed by Jane Lynch / Story Films

I’m so glad this photo of Jane Lynch and I holding cannolis exists. Partially because it was right after Jane told me I was funny, which obviously became a life highlight for me. Working with Jane was incredible - I will never forget collaborating with her during writer’s table sessions and the warm, “yes-and” energy she brought to set.
