Glee Bids Goodbye and the Cast Shares Behind-the-Scene Facts

In a few more weeks, Glee will end its final season and Gleeks will bid goodbye to McKinley High School and the gang.

In expectation of Glee's series finale this week, Lea Michele, Chris Colfer, and the rest of the cast took part in a fun Q&A and screening at PaleyFest in Hollywood on Friday, Mar. 13. They recalled their favorite memories, paid tribute to their late friend and costar Cory Monteith, and more.

According to a report by US weekly, here's 10 behind-the-scenes facts you may not have known about the New Directioners:

1.       President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama are Gleeks! "They were fans," Amber Riley said. "The First Lady said she was watching it with the kids."

2.       Everyone's favorite guest star? Kristin Chenoweth! "She always brought gifts," Riley said of the Broadway vet, who played Will Schuester's old friend April Rhodes.

3.       The ladies still gush over Sam Evans' big lips! "I never thought it was a thing, and then they wrote that song "Trouty Mouth," Chord Overstreet said. "Girls love 'em."

4.       Michele's favorite line ever was one she said to Monteith's character, Finn Hudson. "I'm like Tinkerbell Finn," she recited. "I need applause to live."

5.       Monteith (who died in July 2013 at age 31) was always in their thoughts while filming. "The memories are endless. My favorite thing about Cory is that we always had accidental fun together," Colfer said. "He was a very, very special guy."

6.       Guest star Kate Hudson really is that stunning even when she just woke up.

7.       Michele's favorite song to cover was Journey's "Faithfully," which she belted out with Monteith in the show's season one finale.

8.       Salling and Overstreet would play ping pong between takes. "A lot of these relationships are going to go on," Salling told Us, teasing that he would beat Overstreet often. "I'm going to know a lot of these people for the rest of my life."

9.       Michele was an absolute "mess" during the last week of filming before the series wrapped. "The train was going 100 miles per hour and then it just stopped," she recalled. "I cried the whole week. I was a mess."

10.   Criss wrote the song "This Time" for the series finale, which Michele will be singing. "I basically wrote a love note to the entire experience," he said. "Having Lea sing it to me is one of the most special moments of my career."
