Gossip Girl Season 2 is already out on DVD. On the DVD is this Gag Reel. I think sometimes my favorite thing of every show is the bloopers. These ones really show you how cool Blake Lively and Leighton Meester really are. And my favorite part is when Ed Westwick changes over to his normal voice to ask a question. I still can’t believe how English his accent really is, he covers it up so good on the show.
Zachary Levi was at the NBC/TCA Press Tour last night. I am thinking that his beard is just getting crazier! I know that they are starting to film the second season of the show in less than a month. (But the show won’t air until March.)
Zap2It had a chance to interview Zach and here are the highlights (the interview was so funny!):
On if his beard is a unibomber thing: Don’t count that out. … What’s his name? Kaczynski? Krasinski? No, not John Krasinski from “The Office.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to a press thing and someone comes up and says, “So, the new season of ‘The Office’ …” I’m not even kidding.
On how much free Subway he’s got in the last little while: Levi: Five tons. They sent in an entire truck with turkey breast footlongs, with everything. Joshua Gomez: Remember that scene from “Indecent Proposal”? We did that with Subway sandwiches. Just on the bed with meat an cold cuts, slapping each other silly with … no? Levi: I totally remember that. I had so much mustard in my … forget it. I’ll tell you something about that — the jalapenos don’t sit well. I can deal with the pepperoncinis.
On what Zach would be doing if Chuck got canceled: Hopefully I’d be getting another job. … But at the end of the day, and I know it’s so cliche to say everything happens for a reason, but if we had been renewed quietly in the night, nobody would have cared. But the very fact that they held on and we were on the chopping block really riled up our passionate, dedicated following to the point where they were a huge voice and part of the process.
I feel like now — we got picked up virally, all these campaigns got us a lot of traction and a lot of buzz. We need that, especially as a show that’s kind of struggling for every viewer. At the end of the day, what we were able to accomplish was being a championship for our fans. They’re our shareholders. Being at Comic-Con and having 4,000 people deep. I’m just stoked to have been part of the process.
On how long his 2.0 powers last: That has been outed, yeah. There’s a hitch in the giddy-up, as they say. Intersect 2.0 is not an exact science, and we need to work through that in the third season.
