Darren Criss — On Getting ‘Glee’ & How ‘Maybe Happy Ending’ Almost Didn’t Make It

from Dinner’s on Me with Jesse Tyler Ferguson · host Sony Music Entertainment

'Glee’ and ‘The Assassination of Gianni Versace’ star Darren Criss joined the show. Over scallion pancakes stuffed with gooey cheese and bacon, Darren tells me about going viral for a Harry Potter parody in 2009, getting ‘Glee,’ and how 'Maybe Happy Ending’ almost didn’t even make it on stage, which is hard to believe given its acclaim – the Broadway show and Darren both walking away with Tony awards. Plus, we talk about being dads and a funny moment at a fancy Hollywood party. This episode was recorded at Win Son Bakery in Manhattan’s East Village.  Learn more about your ad choices.
