• Colfer had to be home-schooled in seventh and eighth grade because the bullying was so bad.
• He’d given roughly two thousand dinner-theatre performances in high school before he landed an agent.
• All the auditions he gave before landing “Glee,” he says, “sucked.”

Here’s what they squealed at:

• Morrison says that the makers of the rosy-cheeked Hummel dolls (from whence the character got his name) should make a Kurt doll.
• Morrison says the word “probe,” as in “Let’s probe the significance of this,” and Colfer says, “Interesting word choice.”
• Colfer says sometimes he likes Kurt better than he likes himself.

Oh, and they booed, too, at clips from “Glee”:

• When Karofsky plants one on Kurt in the locker room.
• When the jocks throw Kurt into the dumpster.

It’s enough to make a girl wish that she’d had an adorable gay icon to fall madly in love with when she was a teeny-bopper, instead of wasting her time on Kirk Cameron.
