Chuck's Vik Sahay with Joshua Gomez, Julia Ling and Zachary Levi
Chuck's hard-earned and well-deserved renewal did come with a small price. NBC's action-comedy now needs to be a leaner, mean kung fu-fighting machine. Will that bit of belt-tightening result in less of the Buy More crowd?
Vik Sahay, who plays Buy More employee Lester, tackles that question in his TVGuide.com video Q&A — but his outlook is far from bleak.
Other topics covered include:
• Who gave Vik the good news about Chuck's pick-up, and how did he react?
• Why does Chuck strike such an emotional chord with viewers?
• What was Vik's take on the season finale's game-changing twist?
• Will Sarah leave the Orange Orange to sell subs for Subway? And might Lester be at her side?
• And, as detailed in this TVGuide.com news story, Sahay surveys the outside chance that Chuck could return to our screens sooner than March 2010.
Watch and discuss the video after the jump.
