The lovely Julia Ling has agreed to participate, so start prepping those questions. There are three ways to ask:
- EMAIL – email questions to mail@chuckpodcast.com BEFORE 1:00PM EST SUNDAY, so we can gather them.
- TWITTER – live questions open at 2:30PM EST. Gray will announce a “Live Questions Open” on his twitter at that time, and do his best to Twitter which question is being answered.
- SKYPE / LANDLINE – If you’d like, we can call you on Skype or your land-line and you can ask your question in person! Email us with your name and phone number or Skype address before 1:00PM EST (also let us know an idea of what you will be asking), and we’ll call you Sunday between 2:30 and 3:00PM EST.

“Move over Beckman, bring in Shaw. He’s taking over Team Chuck.” – Yvonne Strahovski on Brandon Routh’s character
Oh boy, this should get tongues wagging. AOL’s Maggie Furlong visited the set of Chuck and talked to Zachary Levi, who demonstrates is calf-lift technique; Yvonne Strahovski, whose choice of dream guest star is AWESOME; and Brandon Routh, who acknowledges the intricacies of Casey’s grunts. Also, relationship stuff. Brace yourselves.
Reminder: the comment guidelines are there for a reason; play nice, Chucksters!
Diedrich Bader To Guest, and Other News From the Set (SPOILERS!)

Warning: spoilers from the set of Chuck below. Don’t read on if you’re trying to stay spoiler-free.
It looks like we aren’t the only ones excited about Zachary Levi directing his first episode of Chuck; photos from the set of episode 3.09, “Chuck vs. the Beard”, have been coming thick and fast. Most aren’t all that spoilery, but check out this photo of Mark Christopher Lawrence, Zachary Levi and…Diedrich Bader?

Looks like the former Jethro will be guest starring in this episode, possibly as someone from Buy More management. I guess that makes sense. If you’ve watched The Beverly Hillbillies movie 18 times like some people (*ahem*), you’ll remember the scene where Jethro has a 6-foot sub sandwich delivered. He and Big Mike would have a lot in common.
What else can we determine from these photos? There’s a shot of Sarah and Shaw (Yvonne Strahovski and Brandon Routh) in what appears to be a serious conversation on a screen that Director Zac is watching; Zac is one dedicated guy as blocks a scene as the director and learns his lines as an actor at the Buy More; Morgan is now Assistant Manager to Big Mike at the Buy More; and there were some fake (?) beauty pageant contestants on set. See all the photos in the Gallery. We’ve also added assorted set photos from episode 3.08, “Chuck vs. the Nose”, including one of Zac and Kristin Kreuk posing together.

Jace (aka the Televisionary) had the opportunity to talk with Yvonne Strahovski on the set of Chuck a couple of weeks ago and he’s sharing it with the fans. She talks about enjoying working with the love triangles, finding out more about Sarah’s past, drama vs. comedy, dancing on set, and higher stakes for everyone in season 3. WARNING: Minor spoilers!
Interesting comment there at the end, huh? Check out Jace’s blog; he’s a Chuck fan who often gets to preview episodes so you might want to bookmark/subscribe to his RSS feed to keep up with his posts.
