The actor tells THR at a Television Critics Assoc. event on Sunday that Will's Spanish teaching skills are called into question.



Matthew Morrison spilled the beans on how guest star Ricky Martin's Spanish teacher character will affect Will Schuester's standing on Glee.
"My Spanish teaching skills have come into question, so I take night school and Ricky Martin's teaching me Spanish," Morrison tells The Hollywood Reporter at the Fox all-star party on Sunday.

Not the least of which includes the glee club taking part in several days of singing just Latin songs.

"He inspires me to do a Latin Week on Glee," Morrison says. "The kids end up loving him as a teacher so I have to have an Español-off to regain my Spanish teacher pride."

"Will is successful," Morrison reveals before backtracking slightly and giving Martin his due. "Ricky Martin is very successful as well, so we both win."

The actor also hinted at what to expect from the forthcoming Michael Jackson hour, which will feature numbers that are essentially reinterpretations of his music videos.

"I actually didn't get to sing a Michael Jackson song. I was bummed out about it, but at the same breath," Morrison admits, "I didn't have to feel the pressure."

When news that the Glee spinoff was officially dead surfaced Sunday, Morrison admitted to finding out that day and had high hopes that the glee club members graduating will still be around next season. It was reported that Chris Colfer, Lea Michele and Cory Monteith will remain for season 4 with guest star Grant Gustin potentially returning as a regular.

"The people who are graduating will still have some kind of say in the show. They'll still be around in some capacity. The people we started the show with we'll hopefully end the show with," Morrison says.

Will and Emma (Jayma Mays) will reach a pivotal moment in their romance, when he decides to pop the question to the OCD guidance counselor.

Morrison offered this tease: "The actual proposal is probably the coolest, most interesting proposal I've ever seen in my life. It's out of this world."

Glee returns Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

He shook his “bon bon” all over the world, but on “Glee,” Ricky Martin is tackling someone else’s chart hit in his upcoming battle with Matthew Morrison’s Will Schuester.

At Sunday night’s FOX Television Critics Association party in Pasadena, Mathew revealed to AccessHollywood.com whose — and which — number Ricky is covering.

“His will be an LMFAO song,” Matthew told Access, confirming the Latin heartthrob performs the band’s current hit single, “Sexy and I Know It.”

And, Mr. Schue, has his own body rocking number, in the upcoming sing-off between the two men.

“Mine will be an Elvis Presley song – in Spanish,” Matthew said, declining to specify which standard from the King’s catalog he remade.

Matthew also shared with Access new details about how Ricky has been written into the Lima, Ohio, based drama.

“He came onto the show because my [character’s] Spanish speaking skills were coming into question, so I started attending night school and he was my teacher. He was my Spanish teacher,” Matthew told Access. “I go to night school now because I need to know how to speak Spanish so I can teach Spanish.”

From there, it’ll be Will Schuester who introduces Ricky’s character to McKinley High School.

“He comes in and I bring him into the Glee Club and people like, really love him, he’s a great teacher and stuff, so my job is kind of on the line now because the kids really love him,” Matthew said. “So we have to have a kind of like Espanol off. So he does a song, I do a song.”

While Ricky’s episodes aren’t coming until next month, the next new “Glee” episode features the moment fans have been waiting for between Will and Emma (Jayma Mays), when the New Directions coach proposes to the school’s guidance counselor.

“The proposal was so out of this world and so amazing,” he said of the upcoming scene.

While his “will you marry me,” is on the way, Matthew said there still hasn’t been any between-the-sheets action for Will and Emma. But does he hope the two will eventually get it on?

“It hasn’t been scripted yet, I hope so. I’m just like any other guy,” he laughed.

Matthew added he’s not surprised that Will and Emma have waited… and waited.

“She’s never had sex in her life yet. I’m interested to see if they’re gonna wait ‘til marriage,” he said.

“Glee” airs Tuesday nights at 8/7c on FOX.
