Chris Colfer reacts to Emmy nod and says of his impending “Glee” departure: “It was bound to happen sooner or later.”

Entertainment Weekly chatted with Chris Colfer this morning after he received word that he has once again been nominated for an Emmy.

“There were rumors that I might get nominated again, but I was thinking I wouldn’t,” he said. ”It was a surprise. I think there is so much anxiety that comes with awards show and nominations and I was focusing on all the bad. The category is so so tough, so selective, that I didn’t think I get another nomination.”

Chris also commented for the first time on the just-reported news that he will not be a regular on the series beyond its upcoming third season.

“It was bound to happen sooner or later,” Colfer said. ” I would love to pull a Farrah Fawcett from Charlie’s Angels and come back every 10th episode. I’d be the obnoxious recurring star!”

Farrah was only a series regular on season one of that classic 70s show but returned for a total of six episodes during seasons three and four.
