Wow, it's really sad to hear that the show made him self-conscious about his voice. I always wondered if it gets to actors on a deeper level if their character is mocked for something that pertains to the actor outside of film/TV.
I read somewhere else that Cord Overstreet had the same thing happen with his mouth, after all the 'trouty mouth' jokes. That's something that's always bugged me when show's do that, they're basically insulting the actors as much as they are the characters.
MMFY I wouldn't be surprise if the actors were because a lot of the times, the "jokes" made on glee about the characters is about their physical appearance. Although I'm sure it's hard to avoid that but I feel that there are some ways to do it without it being too cruel. Especially Santana's rant to Kurt when he ruined her proposal to Santana, which everyone praised for it, I felt that's where it went to just plain rude and cruel. Santana didn't just insult Kurt in the scene, it was RIB insulting Chris Colfer. I guess that's where fans should step in to prove the actors are wonderful as they are. Like fans constantly reminding that Chris has a unique and beautiful voice
It definitely got to Cory Monteith when his character was mercilessly bullied for his weight. He came back after season 3 noticeably thinner. Poor man was already struggling enough without the writers giving him a complex about his weight. Whoever’s idea that was should be ashamed.
Sebastian Pettersen preach!!!!! I hated it so much, Chris' voice is amazing and so beautiful to listen too. I hated glee for that. But I loved the show and KLAINE continues to be my otp 😂😍❤
Sebastian Pettersen agreed! He was UNDERused 😢💔 and Klaine will always be an OTP of mine 💖 I'd give anything to hear him sing again, even if he did a song with Lea at one of her concerts or an album!
Sebastian Pettersen so true! He should really think about that cuz Chris is one of the best singers I've heard he is so talented! I would hate for him to ignore this amazing gift he has ❤
I always did hated that Rachel and Fin got all the solos and duets in Glee when they had so many talented voices in the cast. Chris's was always both my favorite character and voice, so I might be a little biased when I say he deserved so much better. I'm so glad he is being recognized by his writing.
And with such an amazing voice range! But I guess it's price to pay for main characters not being our favorite, we see our darlings be given less than we think they deserve...
Yes, Tct, you missed it. Chris told him he had published 11 books, then Stephen asked '11 books? I didn't know this. What other things have you written?"
Stephen: "Have people written fan-fiction about you." Chris: "Oh, oh" *looks around nervously* "yeah, yeah." ... me, ducks in shames, love ya Chris ahaha ...whoops
Omg I love Chris Colfer! I’ve loved the Land of Stories books for so long and realizing that the author isn’t even 30 yet and has been in 6 series tv show and was famous when he went to college and is hat is just so inspiring. People like Chris Colfer are just gifts to the world. I love him so much❤️❤️
Keeps getting new fans because of Netflix. My daughter found it on there last Spring and we both loved it. So impressed with what everyone is doing now that the show is over.
No dought about it Chris Colfer is an Amazing Talented Singer Actor Writer and everything in between... Well done young man you have done soooo much in your young years BRILLIANT.
Personally, I've always thought Colfer would make a fantastic *Desire of the Endless* in a live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's _Sandman_ comic book.
I don't really have dream casting choices for the other Endless..but personally, I think Billy Crudup would be great at *voice acting* Dream. (He did great voice work in both _Princess Mononoke_ and _Watchmen_ films)
Chris Colfer, on the off-chance that you ever see this: I just want to say I think your voice is heavenly. Some of your renditions on Glee I liked better than the original, and I take music pretty seriously. :)
CHRIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!!! I MISS YOU!! I LOVE YOU!!!! Also thank you Stephen for alerting me to the fact that Chris has a book out, I cant figure out how i didn't know that Embarrassing fact: I had a huge crush on you when I was in 3rd grade
1:06 Not really. It's good to keep in practice, but if you sing enough, your body will remember the technique even if you take a break from it. (For me at least, anyway. It's different for different people!)
TheBizzle1984 Actually I think it was a prompter error, I think that was intended for Patrick Stuart (Star Trek: The Next Generation -Capt. Jean Luc Picard) who was the first guest of the night.
I am a woman of a very certain age who read Klaine and Kurtbastian fanfiction. And of course, I own Chris' "The Land of Stories" audio books - they are amazing. The best thing is that you can follow how Chris develops as a writer and how he gets to know his characters better through each book. So no matter how old you are, please read TLOS. And in only a couple of days, this fanfiction fan will have her copy of "Stranger that Fanfiction" *happy dancing*.
NOW I'M WONDERING WHAT FICS HE'S READ LIKE??? ARE WE TALKING CANON!CC STORIES LIKE "TRIP & STUMBLE" OR STORIES ABOUT HIM AND WILL???? OR MORE LIKE HARRY POTTER AU'S OR WHAT
madgrinchhatter Actually I think it was a prompter error, I think that was intended for Patrick Stuart (Star Trek: The Next Generation -Capt. Jean Luc Picard) who was the first guest of the night.
His rendition of "Defying Gravity" in the show still stays with me...
Buenomars Ohhhhhh... One of the best renditions! *.*
i got chills from just reading that comment
i hope he realizes that he/kurt really should have won that
Me too. Like bad clams........or a horrible nightmare.
The best defying gravity ever!!!

Yeah, makes me wonder about the wonderful lady who played Marleys mom. I feel really bad for her.
@@c0llapsingst4rs and beiste as well in the earlier seasons.
It definitely got to Cory Monteith when his character was mercilessly bullied for his weight. He came back after season 3 noticeably thinner. Poor man was already struggling enough without the writers giving him a complex about his weight. Whoever’s idea that was should be ashamed.
"my voice isnt that great'
CAN I HUG HIM. PLEASE.
SAME
Realizing that Glee started eight years ago makes me feel old. Chris was my favorite actor from Glee, too. Wow.
Kate Ozawa He's the only reason I watched glee
Kurt and Blaine - my favorites.
CHRISTOPHER YOU DO HAVE THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL
I know. Omg it’s so pretty🥺❤️
He should listen to Stephen Colbert when he says he sings like an angel, I hate Glee for making him doubt that.
Sebastian Pettersen preach!!!!! I hated it so much, Chris' voice is amazing and so beautiful to listen too. I hated glee for that. But I loved the show and KLAINE continues to be my otp 😂😍❤
Sebastian Pettersen agreed! He was UNDERused 😢💔 and Klaine will always be an OTP of mine 💖 I'd give anything to hear him sing again, even if he did a song with Lea at one of her concerts or an album!
Sebastian Pettersen so true! He should really think about that cuz Chris is one of the best singers I've heard he is so talented! I would hate for him to ignore this amazing gift he has ❤
Stephanie Carroll IKR!!!
he seems to be such an genuinely nice person
I always did hated that Rachel and Fin got all the solos and duets in Glee when they had so many talented voices in the cast. Chris's was always both my favorite character and voice, so I might be a little biased when I say he deserved so much better. I'm so glad he is being recognized by his writing.
Sophie Cortés I agree - in my opinion, Chris had the best voice out of the whole cast and deserved so much better
And with such an amazing voice range! But I guess it's price to pay for main characters not being our favorite, we see our darlings be given less than we think they deserve...
Finn got all the solos? What show were you watching?
Chris Colfer is a great storyteller. What an incredible man of many talents.
The love of my life. I miss seeing him on TV every week. can't believe glee ended 2 years ago
The semi-awkwardness when Colbert realized Colfer is actually a well-published author now...
the lychee berry I don't think it was (semi) awkward, I think Colbert is genuinely intrigued and interested that he has accomplished such feat.
sorry what moment? he already knew Chris had written 11 books before the interview.
did i miss something?
Yes, Tct, you missed it. Chris told him he had published 11 books, then Stephen asked '11 books? I didn't know this. What other things have you written?"
"have you read fanfiction about you?" oh no don't go there please lmao
I chucked cause, Gosh, the amount of fanfiction about him xD
my ears always sharpen when I hear that question! XD
I know, it's terrible!
HE FOUND THE KLAINE STASH
Is he refering to Klaine or CrissColfer or both or something else...because XD
Stephen: "Have people written fan-fiction about you."
Chris: "Oh, oh" *looks around nervously* "yeah, yeah."
... me, ducks in shames, love ya Chris ahaha ...whoops
He is so funny
When he started talking about his fanfiction I totally thought that he would mention Klaine fanfiction
Chris, YOUR VOICE IS GOLD
Clara Costamilan Chris is gold.
WHEN HE SAID 50 SHADES OF COLFER I SPAT OUT MY WATER
Omg I love Chris Colfer!
I’ve loved the Land of Stories books for so long and realizing that the author isn’t even 30 yet and has been in 6 series tv show and was famous when he went to college and is hat is just so inspiring.
People like Chris Colfer are just gifts to the world.
I love him so much❤️❤️
He didn't go to college.he went for like 2 weeks and dropped out
He has the most beautiful voice.
omg chris is soo handsome and funny i just love him soo muuch
Chris is such a great human being. I can't wait to see where the rest of his career will take him!!!!!
2017 and everyone still talking about #Glee... I mean, it was THE BEST TV SHOW IN HISTORY!!! ♥
yesss!!!
Keeps getting new fans because of Netflix. My daughter found it on there last Spring and we both loved it. So impressed with what everyone is doing now that the show is over.
Stephen totally read fanfiction about himself and Jon.
As if he hasn't
Jeff Winger john oliver actually talked about reading jon stewart/stephen colbert/john oliver in a standup bit once
and thanks to this comment, now so have I!
it's so surreal to hear Steven Colbert talk about fanfiction
I love Stranger Than Fanfiction!! I read it in one sitting, it was incredible and has and awesome storyline
gosh i just realized how i miss seeing chris
His voice is absolutely incredible. I would kill to have his vocal range.
2020 and glee is still the best thing I’ve seen in my entire life
No dought about it Chris Colfer is an Amazing Talented Singer Actor Writer and everything in between...
Well done young man you have done soooo much in your young years BRILLIANT.
Who else still has a playlist on their phones of Glee songs??
His voice was literally the most beautiful out of all the other actor's voices tho
I LOVE CHRIS SO MUCH
Personally, I've always thought Colfer would make a fantastic *Desire of the Endless* in a live-action adaptation of Neil Gaiman's _Sandman_ comic book.
wow.. yeah..
Because there's a sort of androgynous quality to his good looks that'd make him an awesome Desire.
(Plus he can sing which can't hurt his chances)
Paradox Acres Yeah!
who would you choose for the other endless tho
I don't really have dream casting choices for the other Endless..but personally, I think Billy Crudup would be great at *voice acting* Dream. (He did great voice work in both _Princess Mononoke_ and _Watchmen_ films)
I just finished Stranger Than Fanfiction and it gave me the feels
he's so adorable
My boy grew up so much. I remember that i was so obssesed with him in 2010 and 2011. I still love him! proud of him
I love the Land of Stories series, reading kids books is so nice
I've never really watched Glee before. But damn that boy is like my dream twink!
LMAOO
Wow lmao
I Love Chris and Kurt was my favourite character on glee. He's an amazing author
Awww!! I love both Colfer and Colbert!!
It's 'Xena: Warrior Princess', damnit! ;-)
SHUT UO CHRIS YOUR VOICE TYE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE IN THIS WORLD
waitwaitwaitwaitwaitwait he doesn't think he's GOOD?! WHAT
We all know that fanfiction he was talking about was klaine smut😏😂
He has the world's cutest profile
Chris Colfer, on the off-chance that you ever see this: I just want to say I think your voice is heavenly. Some of your renditions on Glee I liked better than the original, and I take music pretty seriously. :)
I read his books in middle school! What a cute kid
So excited to see Chris again 💙 I've totally written fanfiction about him many times lmao.
Why didn't Stephen know about Land of Stories? That's a big part of Chris' career. Do any research on your guests before a show, Stephen?
Beautiful man.
6:05 Stephen lets us know that he never has abs in his fan-fiction - he must have read all of it to know that
We all know what happens in the mystical world of "Fanfiction"
Omg, He is the cutest men alive 😻❤
elena I know right?
those shoes though.....
His stutter is soo cute.
Awww I love him ❤❤
"Its really dark"wow Chris has a Dark side 😂 I'm 12!!!
I’m in LOVE with this man😂 Glee is my fav show ever😍 also THE LAND OF STORIES IS MY FAV BOOK SERIES 💖💖💖
I adore him so much!!!!
CHRIIIIIIIIS!!!!!!!! I MISS YOU!! I LOVE YOU!!!! Also thank you Stephen for alerting me to the fact that Chris has a book out, I cant figure out how i didn't know that
Embarrassing fact: I had a huge crush on you when I was in 3rd grade
Loved struck by lightning
so good to see you again Chris!
I love Chris!😍
“people ever write fan-fiction about you”
chris: *povorotti protocol*
uh yeah YeAh YEAH
Ok, the Klaine fanfiction I've read...
love him!
I feel like puberty forgot about Chris' voice. Still sounds like he did 8 years ago
I've read struck by lightning and it's brilliant...that end had me so angry though!!!!!!!!
everyone's talking abut his voice but why aren't we talking about 50 shades of colfer KFJHDJGH
He's SO FREAKIN ADORABLE!
I love u chris!!!
I'm guessing he's on his book tour
3:25 was funny XD I Wonder of my grandma would do that to me 😂
I didn't need him to confirm any of this. Always had a feeling.
I started as a fan-fiction writer too lmao. Sometimes I’ll go back and read them or maybe make some occasionally.
did glee really happen 9 years ago wtf
11
oh, Kurt was the best.
1:06 Not really. It's good to keep in practice, but if you sing enough, your body will remember the technique even if you take a break from it.
(For me at least, anyway. It's different for different people!)
It's always nice to see Chis
CHRISTOPHER STFU YOU HAVE AN ANGELIC VOICE
You got me with the Starship Enterprise thing. I googled. You made me google.
He stutters just like me
Sooo......I'm know what I'm doing tonight.....looking for candy land 😻😂
Love this
Okay so what I’ve taken away from this interview is I should describe Chris with abs in my next Klaine smut.
I'm so confused about the "captain of the starship enterprise" comment. So confused.
The Captain's name was Kirk :)
TheBizzle1984 Actually I think it was a prompter error, I think that was intended for Patrick Stuart (Star Trek: The Next Generation -Capt. Jean Luc Picard) who was the first guest of the night.
He was talking about playing with Patrick Stuart action figures, P.S played a captain of the enterprises but Chris had dolls of him as professor x
His pointy ears ? Haha jk
Stephen has fanfiction about him on AO3. a lot of them are slash fics with John Oliver for some reason.
I kinda want to see the musical out of curiosity.
he didn't ask anything about the book...
I want to read his fan fiction.
I'd watch candy land!
Writing fanfiction involves Chris only has 1 genre: CrissColfer 😂😂😂
i need to go look for his books
I am a woman of a very certain age who read Klaine and Kurtbastian fanfiction. And of course, I own Chris' "The Land of Stories" audio books - they are amazing. The best thing is that you can follow how Chris develops as a writer and how he gets to know his characters better through each book. So no matter how old you are, please read TLOS.

NOW I'M WONDERING WHAT FICS HE'S READ LIKE??? ARE WE TALKING CANON!CC STORIES LIKE "TRIP & STUMBLE" OR STORIES ABOUT HIM AND WILL???? OR MORE LIKE HARRY POTTER AU'S OR WHAT
I guess in a few years I guess 2 or 3 he will be 30 but his voice always will make him sound not just like a woman but a teen
What a queeeeeeeeen.
Why did he introduce him as a captain of the Enterprise
madgrinchhatter Actually I think it was a prompter error, I think that was intended for Patrick Stuart (Star Trek: The Next Generation -Capt. Jean Luc Picard) who was the first guest of the night.
CHris so handsome
I am convinced that somewhere out there a piece of Stephen Colbert ff must exist, I mean there is Gerard Way x Mario Kart ff.
Awkward that stephen didn't do his research
I CANT STOP CACKLING WHAT IS THIS
im sad thats its over
Struck by lightning is SUCH a touching book and movie, the movie is free on Tubi and I'd strongly recommend it!!
