Lady Gaga joins Kristin Chenoweth, Megan Mullally as 'SYTYCD' guest judge
"So You Think Can Dance" kicks off the live portion of Season 8 on Wednesday, June 15, and it looks like the competition will host its most high profile judges to date.
After FOX announced that actress Megan Mullally would appear on the first round panel, Xfinitytv reports that Lady Gaga will join the judges later on in the season.
"I asked her when she performed on the 'American Idol' finale if she would come on and she said yes," says executive producer and head judge Nigel Lythgoe. "She is on tour so they said it would probably be later in the season. She is an amazing dancer and performer."
"Broadway" darling and frequent "Glee" guest Kristin Chenoweth will also join the panel this season, with both Ellen DeGeneres and Neil Patrick Harris reportedly in talks to appear as well.

It's ridiculous that they're going this way. It is to the detriment of their professional credibility. That's kind of going the way of American Idol when they brought Ellen.
I don't get why Megan Mullally is going to be a guest judge. Is she a dancer? Dont get me wrong I love her but why?
OMG!!! I could not be more excited. Then I read that Ellen will be on? And Kristin Chenoweth? Neil Patrick Harris!?!?! Now I am pumped! Possibly best season ever?
