At Comic-Con, 'Chuck' fans revel in 6 1/2-minute trailer, panel chat with stars

July

Yesterday, I posted some second-season trailers and photos of “Chuck” and its cast members’ appearances.

And then, thanks to a reader named Suzane, I was alerted to an amazing, non-spoilery 6 1/2-minute montage of Season 2 snippets that premiered at Comic-Con and found its way to YouTube.

The video seriously has everything that “Chuck” fans love about the show: Humor, intrigue, drama, action, eye candy for all and stunt casting ahoy.

What’s lost in audio and video quality (it’s obviously a bootleg from an audience member) is gained in emotion: Hearing the rabid, devout audience’s visceral reactions to the show and its cast is inspiring. The screams for guest star John Larroquette were great, but all the “Arrested Development” fans watching went all Motherboy crazy when a new “Chuck” regular—the lovably goofy Tony Hale—hit the screen. Very good sign.

We got some more footage of Michael Clarke Duncan, and some first looks at former New York Giant Michael Strahan, Jordana Brewster as heartbreaker Jill, . I was mildly disappointed by not shocked to see that few in the Comic-Con crowd seemed to recognize Strahan, cheering instead for the first montage appearance of his sparring partner, Joshua Gomez, a.k.a. Morgan Grimes.

Seriously, though. The video is a great appetizer for the season ahead and, despite Nicole Ritchie’s guest spot, I couldn’t be more psyched about it.

And if you liked that, here’s a 45-minute(!) video from NBC.com of the “Chuck” crew at Comic-Con. I haven’t even watched it yet—and I can’t wait to do so—but I felt it was my duty to immediately post it here to pass the savings onto you.

UPDATE: There’s one expletive in this video, so I guess parental discretion is advised blah blah blah:

Check out more official “Chuck” videos here, and some fun related YouTube clips here.
