Yes, Smallville fans, it’s true! We finally have Gray’s video interview with Kristin Kreuk.  She lights up the screen on Chuck, and she does the same in our podcast!

How is she like her character on Chuck?  And what is special about the way she likes to travel?  Find out here!

We also have updates on Chuck’s solid ratings performance, discussion about the latest Chuck episode, “Chuck vs. First Class,” and lots of spoilers!

Next up: Ryan McPartlin!

Today is another milestone — it’s our first ever all-video podcast, with Gray, Mel, and Liz on webcams.

Plus, we bring you a new contest to win a Chuck press kit, Gray’s video interview with Steve Austin, who plays Hugo Panzer on Chuck 305, and lots more!

We had a lot of fun with this one…  watch for some silliness at the end of the video after spoilers.  If you dislike spoilers, you can skip to the last chapter to see it.

Up next: Kristin Kreuk!

That’s right – yet another interview with Zachary Levi! Toronto podcast listener Kayley was in New York just before the premiere, and had a great interview with Zac.

We also have Mel & Liz’s comments on the first four episodes of the new season, ratings updates, and a lot more!

Gray was MIA this episode because he had a killer work week. He’ll be back in full force next time!

Up next: video interviews with Steve Austin and Kristin Kreuk.

New Year’s surprise! Instead of part 3 of our editor series, we decided to include the first of Gray’s video interviews from his L.A. trip. Get ready for an exciting interview with Zachary Levi and Joshua Gomez.

Also, Chuckfest has been further expanded:  Now ALL the Wii golfers who register for the golf competition will meet the cast of Chuck!  For more details, please visit weheartchuck.com.

On the eve of NBC’s official announcement, we have an interview with Yvonne Strahovski, who was out of reach in Australia and would have loved to have been part of the rally podcast last week. We also have lots of important news, listener emails, and a recap of how the fan campaigns have been going.

We had way too much to talk about, so we decided to postpone discussion and listener comments about the last four Chuck episodes until next week.

Keep up the good work promoting Chuck! Be sure to keep an eye on ChuckTV.net for the latest news on renewal. Also, watch CNN this week and you might just see Gray on TV!

PLEASE NOTE:  there has been some discussion about why Gray ended the interview when he did.  There is a portion of the recorded interview you do not hear on the podcast, when Yvonne made it clear how long she would go, and that the interview would end when Gray’s visitors arrived. Though it sounds like it was cut short, the interview is actually over three times longer than what she originally committed.

Hold on to your hats — this week’s podcast features interviews with 16 of the cast and creative team behind Chuck. From London, New York, Toronto, and Los Angeles, they were all eager to reach out and share their gratitude for the fan campaigns, excitement about the finale, and passion for the show.

Hear how they are getting involved too… behind the scenes stories… clues about the finale and their plans for Chuck’s future… and most of all, how you can help NBC make the right decision, and renew Chuck for a third season.

This Monday night is our last chance to boost the ratings before NBC makes their decision, so do whatever you can to get people to watch! And no matter where you are in the world this Monday, go to your nearest Subway and buy a $5 Footlong, fill out a comment card telling them you’re supporting Chuck, and enjoy the sub while you watch the game changing finale!

Visit ChuckTV.net for more details on the campaigns.

It’s time to pull out all the stops, and make sure all our family, friends, and co-workers are watching the next two episodes of Chuck. Spread the word in every way possible — Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, YouTube, email, the telephone… any way you can. Watch, Buy, Share, Write, and Win! Let’s get those ratings way up, so Chuck can be renewed for a third season!

This marathon podcast features a brief interview Liz had with Tricia Helfer, and a ton of listener comments. We also have updates on our fan campaign, Gray’s projects, and some cool spoiler discussion. As if all that isn’t enough, we’re excited to welcome our first guest host, Lou, or OldDarth as he is known on the ChuckTV.net forums.

To get up to date news about the fan campaign, make sure to visit ChuckTV.net as often as you can!

We are now the world’s #1 TV podcast, for 2 months running! 2009 is going to be a packed year for us, and episode 13 is no exception.

Our last 2008 podcast is the longest yet – over 69 minutes – including an interview with funnyman Scott Krinsky. He’s got a great story to tell, and we also have Chuck holiday gift ideas, discussion on the “Jill” trilogy, listener emails, spoilers, and lots more!
