How’s this for a last minute push? WONKA\u00c2\u00ae, maker of NERDS\u00c2\u00ae candies, will soon be making a very special delivery to executives at NBC: more than 1,000 packs of NERDS (the candy, not the people) in support of Chuck<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

The idea to send NERDS came from co-creator and producer Josh Schwartz in an interview with The New York Times\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Dave Itzkoff published April 20. In it, Schwartz suggests fans of the show send NERDS to NBC, similar to the peanuts sent by CBS\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Jericho\u00e2\u20ac\u009d fans when that show was in danger.<\/p>\n

\u00e2\u20ac\u0153We agreed with Josh that a bunch of NERDS could make a big difference for \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcChuck,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 and that nothing could be more appropriate,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Tricia Bowles, spokesperson, Nestl\u00c3\u00a9 Confections & Snacks. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re showing our support for the show\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s cast, crew, viewers and Nerd Herds everywhere, and we hope fans continue to do the same.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Cute, right? Here are a couple of photos of Zac and Josh joining in the fun. NBC will announce the fate of Chuck<\/strong> on Monday, May 4th.
