"I cried the whole week. I was a mess," Lea Michele told the PaleyFest crowd.

She added, "That was the day I fell to my knees and cried. I literally had to call my mother to come. It was the most special day. I got to say everything to everyone here and everyone who will watch it that I wanted to say, but you can't think of the words, and he wrote them."

Michele also revealed that she would be performing an original song titled "This Time" during the series finale.

In addition to naming favorite guests, Chris Colfer, whose character Kurt came out to his father on the show, revealed that his storyline is something he is proud of.

"We heard from so many fathers and sons who were going though something similar and it doesn't get better than that. When you can get paid to do so meaningful to so many people," said Colfer.
