I just have one piece of advice for our Chuck cast: don't make him angry, you wouldn't like him when he's angry. He could . . . turn green or something.

Chuck will return to our TV screens September 20.

And this is where the experience got a bit different for me, and the press rooms became a true crazy press machine.
