As previously reported, Gilmore Girls alum Matt Czuchry has landed a guest-starring stint on the NBC football drama, Friday Night Lights. Czuchry is set to play Chris Kennedy, a conservative Christian radio show host who becomes friends with the spiritually reborn Lyla Garrity (Minka Kelly). His storyline will tie into Lyla's on-and-off romance with football player Tim Riggins (Taylor Kitsch).

“[He is] very strong in his beliefs, but, at the same time, he is very open," Czuchry said of his character in an interview with knoxnews.com.

I can't wait for this. I loved Czuchry on Gilmore Girls (I thought Logan was the one boyfriend of Rory's who could keep up with her) and I love parodies of Christian talk radio. Not that this character is going to be a parody, necessarily, but I'm sure I'll appreciate the realism that this show will bring to the character.
