The latest spoiler chat from E! Online has some teases from Vik Sahay, aka Lester, about his character and how budget cuts will affect the show in season 3:
Thom in Devore, Calif.: I know it’s a long way off, but what’s going on with Chuck? I miss it!
We’re right there with you! We caught up with Vik Sahay (Lester), one-half of Chuck’s Jeffster at the Silver Spoon Emmy gift lounge, and he spilled: “There is Buy More stuff and there’s a lot of friction with management. There are elements of Lester temporarily changing something about himself. He is changed–temporarily.” Sounds like some sort of Intersect-related issue–or a sex change? As for Chuck in general, Vik says, “I feel particularly excited about this season because something about the budget cuts will potentially streamline how it’s shot. And when it’s streamlined it becomes more potent.”
Hi All:
Lester is one of my favorite characters. In terms of “changing something about himself”, it is likely an opportunity for him to profit or advance at the Buymore
My guess is a chance to move up to corporate at the Buymore or maybe the Jeffster band is somehow becoming more popular. Being the opportunistic that he is, he will change whatever is necessary to achieve his goals. He is like a Chameleon.
He is very unique character. I don’t think I have seen quite a character like him on television. Props to the writer and Vik Sahay for their skills on this character.
I’m speculating that Manoosh Depak, the new character who will be inroduced in Chuck versus the Nacho Sampler, is the catalyst for Lester’s change.
