The Cast of 'Glee' on Their Final Taping

Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, Jenna Ushkowitz, Chord Overstreet and Darren Criss were all here to tell Ellen about their final days on set, and the last season of "Glee."

[@e.padgett9355]

Chord, "We're all close to 30 playing high school kids." Chris, "Speak for yourself!"

[@TigerPrawn_]

+E. Padgett That's basically every American High School movie!

[@mpolo9568]

But they pulled it off

[@sampadasai2931]

E. Padgett when?

[@e.padgett9355]

1:28

[@funtimewithmb5682]

E. Padgett right as i read that corde and chris said that

[@astrocutie37]

wow the show did a terrible job at showing how beautiful jenna (tina) really is !

[@eeyejee]

"Beauty" was not ever the point of the show.

[@astrocutie37]

it wasn't the "point" of the show... but it was clearly evident that the characters of Rachel and Santana to name a few, looked a lot more "done up" with makeup/hair/clothes, where Tina kinda stayed the same *****

[@prink34320]

Well characters like Rachel and Santana actually did do make-up, I can't really remember a time when Tina was in the Girl's Bathroom doing her make-up.

[@Shesaphantomm]

Exactly

[@ApartmentViews]

astrocutie3 A lot of girls don't use make-up or very little make-up so Tina rep'd them and that's nice.

Chris is such a sweetheart, mentioning Darren and Chord joining shortly after so they wouldn't feel less important, saying Cory is with them when the question was hard to answer. I love chris

[@luna160881]

I also loved how he mentioned they joined shortly after, because they were there so much that it feels like they've always been there.

[@aehs.s1113]

RIGHT no one talks about this but I thought that was adorable.. Darren didn’t want to sound like he’s referring himself to the main cast from season 1 but Chris didn’t wanna let chord and Darren feel excluded

[@iMandyHere]

"He was there" CHRIS, THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY.

[@tikilocklin]

Dude I cant tell you how many times he's made me cry Out of both laughter and sadness 👌

I wanted this interview to last forever honestly... My favorite people all at one couch.

[@pinkrainbowx33]

yeah that´s true but some important people from the cast were missing like Kevin, Naya (I know she was filming though) and Amber...

[@mapsofstars]

That's true, though, but indeed I think they tried their best to get people together. They're representing the other people too :)

Except for cory 😰

[@lourdesweet51]

pinkrainbowx33 and [well for me it'd make it complete] Harry...I'm actually surprised that w/ how much she loves dancing, she hasn't invited him on. Se should have him treadmill dance on the show. That'd be fun. :)

[@heidos7]

People can say what they want about Glee, but it won't change the fact that it has changed people in ways they can’t even imagine. It changed me for the better, it made me realise that being different is a good thing. We should never be afraid to be ourselves, we need to go after our dreams and never stop believing. Stand up for what we believe in and stand up for our loves ones. Follow our hearts. That is what this show has taught me and I will forever cherish that. I will forever be grateful that it introduced me to such great, diverse music that otherwise I would have never known of. And lead me to discover such great talent and wonderful people. I am just sorry Cory won't be here to say goodbye to this chapter of our lives with us. He will never be forgotten. I love you Cory.

[@rachelq3037]

Well said - people don't understand the underlying core of the show and that was, the valuable lessons that were there in the show to learn....and every person took the ones that applied to them. Not every episode was outstanding, but the show on the whole was outstanding and even as an older person (that I am), I will miss GLEE....BUT I have my DVDs of the show which I will always treasure.

[@Shesaphantomm]

I miss it so much even though i didnt know 89% of the songs they sung

Lea gets quiet as soon as Ellen asks about a memorial to Cory. But her smile after Chris says " We could feel him. He was there." :'), you can tell she misses him but still feels his love and presence with her.

[@dynamitetete]

michael, how inconsiderate? the show probably wouldn't have worked at all without finn as a main character.

[@Shesaphantomm]

Its not that Cory was important (which he was to alot of people) but the character he played was extremely important to the show but you could tell he was on drugs when the situation got brought up because he looked out of it alot but your comment was a little inconsiderate

[@zarkskark8321]

No he wasn't. That couch was shown on James cordons interview in online mode from his studio in his home,Darren was talking about what he was doing before glee,like playing for tips in a restaurant near James's work studio and you can see that couch in the background. He did talk about that

[@m13laball]

WildCandy I'm just happy that Darren and Chord actually admit that. It's sickening how most of the audience seems to insist that Darren/Chord are part of the original cast when they are not. You can put Dianna and Mark into that mix because they were regulars since the beginning along with Matt, Jayma, Jane, and Jessalyn, but other than that, original cast means they were there since the "origin" of the show.

[@amandajmz312]

People cannot fathom how much Cory meant to so much of us... his passing hit us as hard as it did for the cast, because he was our role model, our idol, our inspiration, the guy we looked up to, the guy we wanted to be more like... He was our friend. He was our family. Now he is our Angel. I think about him all the time and I cry, and I smile, and I laugh, but most of all I strive to do better--to be better. He was a beacon of light in this dark world and while it dimmed when he left us, it grew brighter tenfold because of all of us Gleeks standing together and working together to be that light for him. He and the Glee cast have taught us so much about what it means to be human and how to be a good person and never take life for granted. I promised Cory the day he died that I will never take drugs in my life and I intend not to break that promise. Cory was genuinely the nicest man and he will forever be in my heart. He has touched so many lives, that's how you know he was special. I listen to him sing whenever I feel depressed and he makes me feel better. Even after he's gone he continues to help me, and when my time on Earth is eventually up, I can't wait to thank him and give him a big hug when I reach the other side. I miss you, Frankenteen. I'll always love you.
