Causing a Commotion with Tracey Raftery

About this episode

A rare treat for Gleeks! A look inside the world of publicity!
Usually, network publicists spend all their time pitching stories to get buzz and exposure for their shows, but Glee was different! Tracey Raftery joins Jenna and Kevin to talk about what it was like working as a publicist on the show from the very start, including the crazy weekend when the cast was on Oprah and then performed at the White House the next day, a rowdy flight story, her biggest fear during Glee's very first mall tour, and how things changed after Cory Monteith died.
