So how has this year been for you, being thrust into the spotlight and all?
You know, Less Than Perfect, even after four years, never really opened any doors in my career or built that big of a fan base, at least not one that I know of — they might be in the Midwest or [exist] internationally. But with Chuck, it's definitely been this kind of overnight change in my life, where everyone recognizes you. I [also] don't have a life. That's probably the biggest thing: I don't have any time to do anything. With Less Than Perfect, with a sitcom, you can still hold down a regular life, but with Chuck, [I'm] working all day every day trying to figure out how to get everything else done..

But Chuck's full-season pickup shows that the network has faith in the show.
The problem is the strike. It's nice to have a back nine, but you don't really know what that means at the end of the day. You don't know when you can go back to work. If they were to resolve the strike today, then they'd have to start writing, and the writing would take them through the rest of January, and we stop production in February. But I don't know if they're going to resolve the strike before the holidays. So [even though] we have a back nine, we don't know when we're going to shoot, and it wouldn't surprise me if the network says [those] nine episodes will be the beginning of the second season.
