What do you do if all-around prince-among-men Zachary Levi shows up at your office unannounced just to say hello? If you’re me, you slap some powder on his face, throw a camera in front of him, and then grill him for exclusive scoop about Chuck’s third season. And then as a thank you, you hook him and a friend up with house seats to South Pacific and let him have one of your 2009 Smurfs (he picked the cameraman).
The video’s after the jump!

Sarah working at Subway is a dumb idea. The whole premise of her cover is that she can disappear at will because the Weinerlicious and OO were always empty. I can’t believe that Subway would want to portray one of their stores as being always empty.
Chuck is one of the few shows my whole family makes a point to watch. It’s very entertaining and we get invested in the lives of the characters. Many kudos to Subway for their support! We have decided to make Monday’s Subway night for dinner when Chuck comes back this fall. I hope many other fans will join in and show their support.
This made my day! Love him! I agree that TV networks would be better served if they went to shorter seasons. It’s those filler episodes that most people complain about anyway.
Best part of the interview is the Gymkata poster in the backgrund. It’s awesome.
Please tell me the facial hair is going to be in the new season? I’m beagging you!!!
Ok well that wasn’t super interesting, blessed Zach can be a bit long winded. but still CHUCK 4LYF.
That was a breath of fresh air. How can you not love Zachary Levi? I have my red sharpie and my calendar and am marking off the days until Chuck returns.
<3 <3 <3
Glad for the fans of the show that Chuck is coming back. they were a vocal bunch. lol

How about a transcript for all the deaf CHUCK fans!

Mike–You’re my hero! Was hoping you weren’t going to hold this until closer to the season premiere!Haven’t heard anything bad about Zach. Seems like a great guy. He seems to appreciate what everyone–critics & fans have done. Personally, hope something new crashes & burns–like Leno so we can have Chuck by Thanksgiving.
Yay, Chuck! And yay for Zachary Levi being such a cool guy.
Gooo Zac! Thanks for the posting the interview Mike, and you’re right, he is prince-among-men! He seems so genuinely nice and humble. Thanks for supporting Chuck!
Crazy-ass facial hair AND interesting, thoughtful answers??? I feel bad, Ausiello — I didn’t get YOU anything!
Oh, I *heart* Zachary Levi. He seems like such a genuinely kind individual with a great appreciation for the people he works with and the fans. I hope NBC gives “Chuck” a full 22 episodes, and I agree with Zachary Levi that this “one major sponsor” scenario will likely be the future of television.
GREAT interview. Zac is a real class act. Totally worth a Smurf.
Zachary is amazing. Check out the subwayt campaign in birmingham, UK. HE served hundred of people. Zachary is 100% unique
Mike–you are my hero. You didn’t wait to post this until closer to Season Premiere. Have never heard anything bad about Zach. Hoping it comes back earlier after something crashes & burns–prefer Leno.
zachary is amazing. he served hundreds of people behind a subway counter for CHUCK campaign. Zachary was amazing in person and he rocks

Thanks so much Michael for having the presence of mind to throw both of you in front of the camera(s) – and to Zach also for dropping by and being willing. I love the show Chuck – and I have to say that HIS comments regarding just having 13 eps and the way cable does it, filler eps etc .. really matches my own views on it. (Not that I wouldn’t want more eps of the show – particularly if it ran into the summer when there just isn’t much “new” on TV to watch)
Love Zachary Levi. He seems nice and smart. I do hope Chuck stays the way it is. It’s fantastic.
I met Zach and he is a genuinely warm, nice guy. I hope Chuck stays around for a long, long time.
“Sarah working at Subway is a dumb idea. The whole premise of her cover is that she can disappear at will because the Weinerlicious and OO were always empty.”
Well, Mike. There are quite a few ways they can work around that. Having multiple agents who work the counters with her is one, so there’s always people there to wait on customers, with the entrance to the Chuck Cave in the back.
Love him. The end.
I love Zachary Levi. Thanks for the interview!!
love chuck and zach. love the beard. he’s so hot. as for subway, who cares? it’s product placement. sarah could be a mgr. we all know they’re never around when u need one. lol
I. Love. Him. He seems so gracious and friendly.
If you’re a Chuck and/or Zachary Levi fan and don’t know about the Chuck Me Mondays Event on Twitter here’s a link that explains how to join the fun http://chucktv.net/2009/05/26/chuck-me-mondays-watch-chuck-from-the-beginning/
Chuck, being pretty much the ultimate summer show, would be a great addition to summer schedule. Bring on the Back 9!
