Working on a big-time show like Glee can be dangerous, and no one knows this more than Glee star Chris Colfer.

It turns out the singin' and dancin' thesp had to go to the hospital recently following an "incident" that went down on the set. And fortunately he told our own Ryan Seacrest all about it as he made his way in the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards tonight.

So what happened?

"My fifth time going straight from the Glee set to the hospital was recently, yes," Chris explained. "And it was my fault because I always try to do everything full out, and I was exotic dancing on a table and injured my foot...as one does."

Naturally. As one does.

Fortunately, Chris wasn't hurt too badly and was able to joke about it later. And it sounds like he was able to go on working on the show. So what can we expect this season?

"[Ryan Murphy] is really good about spilling information that we're not allowed to say," Chris told us. "So put him through the ringer. But it reminds us a lot of season one this year, actually...the story lines and lots of character development."

Not that we didn't love season two, but the thought of the show returning to its original glory has us beside ourselves with excitement!

Check out the video for more from the charming star.
