Rumors have been swirling. Conflicting reports have been published. But we finally have the definitive answer to the most important question on the mind of Chuck fans: the CNN coverage of our renewal campaign is finally confirmed! CNN.com Live will feature the Chuck renewal campaign on Thursday, May 7, between 1-2PM EST. They’ve tapped our own Gray, producer/co-host of Chuck vs. the Podcast, to appear live along side Josh Gomez and/or Zachary Levi – depending on schedules – during the segment to discuss the fan campaign.
Bookmark the page, set your alarms, write yourself a note, do whatever you need to do to make sure you catch this one!
Edited 5.07.09 @8:40AM: A CNN producer just alerted me that this segment will be on CNN.com Live, not CNN TV, so everyone should be able to watch online!
Edited 5.06.09 @9:25PM: Josh Gomez is scheduled to appear, not Josh Schwartz. Sorry for the confusion!
Hey Im from South Africa, really love the show tried to do my part by buying the dvds and some of the other items sold at the nbc store!!! Praying for a 3rd season 🙂
Best foot forward, Gray! Don’t forget Casey’s motto; Chuck Me!
Gray – I’d be careful about making the point about THE MENTALIST and how people don’t watch it together. That’s just speculation and we don’t want people to dismiss it for sour grapes.
CHUCK being a family show is an important point, I agree, and I we all know people watch it together, but I’d stay away from too much “fan” speculation on CNN. ha ha!
Just my opinion, but I think the strongest points are the ones you mentioned about alternative viewing (Hulu, NBC.com). And how CHUCK had actually seen an uptick in ratings with the collective fan push to get more people watching.
is it possible that someone can put it on youtube?
Which will it be on–CNN, or on CNN Headline News?
Gary:
Don’t forget that the main appeal of the show is the LOVE STORY involving YVONNE and Zach…
I mean that is really why most of us watch. Yvonne is incredibly off the charts TALENTED.
I think that is the hook of the show if I am not very much mistaken!!!!
Please don’t let them say that the show is about geeks…this is the reason that the show is struggling, the perception of the show is a bunch of losers…the REALITY is that the show is about KICK ASS SPIES WHO FIGHT BADDIES and it just happens that the most amazing breathtaking spy is in love with CHUCK.
We all need to remind people of what the show is actually about and IT IS NOT ABOUT GEEKS. The geeks are a BACKDROP. It is about SPIES IN LOVE. And one of the spies is having toruble learning the ropes (chuck).
CHUCK is a great opportunity for NBC. Obviously, Nielsen ratings are outdated. What other show is so well connected to the Twitter generation? NBC is definitely reaching a large amount of the 18-34 demo and this renewal campaign proves it.
Hi,
it turns out that I will be interviewing Josh and Zac, and I will not be asked any questions at all. Sooooo… all of this is now moot.
Great thoughts, though!

Ok everyone go to: http://www.cnn.com/live/ and scroll down to 1:20PM ET and you’ll see Saving Chuck. Set a reminder for anyone and everyone! Let’s all watch this. (10:20am for those of us in California (PST)).
Gray – You’ll be doing the interviewing? Interesting. I noticed that the Have a Heart – Renew Chuck campaign has a dollar figure on it now.
Good luck in the interview. I know a lot of us wish we could be there.
Paul:
Any link to the dollar figure?
Okay, I found the link to the dollar figure….warning: it was not updated since yesterday:

I think it will be more today.
Canada Loves CHUCK!!!!! Way to go Grey, let everyone know what they are missing. All the best from Winnipeg, Manitoba,CANADA
Hey just watched it online.. they did a great job speaking for all of us.. And it’s nice they are friend’s in real life too..
Just watched. Great job Gray!
Chuck Me!
i JUST saw it!!!! Awesome guys!!!! I love how playful they are, great job Gray!!!
Aces guys, your aces.
Nice job Gray!
Awesome! Man I love Zac and Josh (and Gray!!)
Great interview man. That was awesome to see Josh and Zach cut up with each other like that.
I missed it. Anyone know if it will it be archived for future viewing?
I just saw the interview and loved it. Watching Josh Gomez and Zachary Levi together was so fun–it made me smile, just like watching ‘CHUCK’ does. I’m truly hoping–and praying, that the show is renewed. It seems like the cast and crew have a genuine love and respect for each other and for the show.
I just watched Zach and Josh on CNN.live. And it was funny, it was good to see them talking about the show and how it might be able to come back for a third season. The interview was positive in all aspects. And Zach was right about us as fans really need to keep this train of hope going, even if we do get a third season. I really hope that it happenes I can’t see the show CHUCK end like it did, it left the mind to wonder way to much. Not to mention it the best show of all time.
NBC Execs should be getting physical notifications of that American Heart Association effort today. I hope they get their act together and let us know that Chuck is renewed and will have a full season. After all we’ve done…
But yeah, watching that interview was awesome. Many thanks to whoever helped make that happen!
Hi,
thanks all! It was an interesting experience being completely live. Also I couldn’t really see Josh & Zac or the host, so I had to go only on what I heard.
Was anyone able to record it? I taped a version from my feed, but like I said, you couldn’t see a lot. I can’t figure out if it’s possible to go back to previous videos and capture from the screen. If anyone can do this or has it already, please let me know!
Thanks,
Gray.
I hope someone recorded it as I was working and had no chance of watching…
I am sure it will show up on the CNN Videos to watch later – I’ll link it as soon as I see it.
Thanks Paul, I’ll be on the lookout for your post then 😉
Hi Chuck Fans! Just wanted to post this here. I have recorded this live airing and uploaded it to Yahoo Video (Not YouTube because it was over 10 mins) Note there is a slight audio out-sync.

From A Big Chuck Fan, and don’t forget “Chuck Me!” lol.
Well played Kristian, came sooner then I hoped!
Nice job Gray, the message really came through and you did the best you could do with what little time you had. Zach really took the bull by the horns (as we say over here) when he said that it’s important to look not only for the current renewal issue but also to keep up (and even increase) the fight in order to promote Chuck and deliver it to a safest place in NBC’s list of scripted shows. Renewing Chuck is just the beginning.
