"I practice Ninjutsu everyday, Ninjutsu is the art of ninja," Colfer told O'Brien. "I have swords that I practice with everyday in my trailer, and it makes the cast very nervous."
Colfer said he was inspired by an unlikely source in his pursuit of ninja mastery: the heroes in a half-shell.
"I grew up watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and I always wanted to do them and bought some on eBay finally, and taught, myself how to do it, so I have some tricks," Colfer said.
"Clearly, you've studied this thoroughly," O'Brien told him.
"They the swords are called Sai," Colfer said, before launching into a sure-handed, Wolverine-esque display with the sharp objects.
Glee airs on Fox at 8/7c Tuesdays, while Conan airs on weeknights on TBS at 11/10c.
