Kristin Chenoweth was a guest on ELLEN today, and after talking with Ms. DeGeneres, Kristin helped to play an absolutely hilarious prank. 

Could she be any more adorable?

Our friends’ over at BuzzSugar got to spend some time on the set of PUSHING DAISIES during the summer press tour. While there they got to chat it up with the cast. They just posted their interview with Emerson Cod himself, Chi McBride.

Here’s a bit of that interview for your reading pleasure.

BuzzSugar: Does Emerson’s function on the show shift at all this year?
Chi: He’s on a mission to find his daughter, but he’s going to go about it in a very unconventional way. He’s also a huge fan of pop-up books, and he wants to create a pop-up book that will lead a little girl who reads it to find her father. He feels sure that some little girl is out there wondering, “Where’s my daddy?” And so he writes this book to try to see if he can get her to find him since he can’t find her, so that’s his mission this year. And in the meantime, if he happens to make a couple bucks, well, good! It’s not just about getting stacks and stacks of money. I think that him being a provider, or not being able to be one, probably has a lot to do with why he’s so obsessed with money. He just takes on a completely different tone once you start peeling those layers and finding out what he’s really after.

Do you feel like it’s a problem to have been off the air for so long?
Chi: I hope not, I really do. That’s one thing I really wish people would wake up and understand, is that . . . audiences do not like to be played with. Sometimes I think we’re in this business and we take it for granted —”Aw, everybody wants to go to the movies! What are you worried about?” Look, the audience does not like to be fooled around with! When baseball went on strike, it took years and a juiced ball and steroids to get everybody back. . . . Television’s the same way. People take this stuff really seriously. They want to get home, they want to kick their shoes off, they want to watch their television shows. You start messing around with that, especially when you can make reality shows for nothing and get any schmo off the street to open his train wreck of a life, and people are saying “Hey, what’s that?”

Amrie from My Take on TV, is a good friend of ThePieMaker.com’s and now a friend of the Pie Maker himself. Amrie had the opportunity to have a little one-on-one phone time with Lee Pace this week. They talked about the season thus far and how Lee thinks Ned has changed, among other things.

We are so happy that Amrie got to talk to Lee…really. We aren’t ridiculously jealous of the opportunity. Nope not at all. He he.

Enjoy this excerpt

Amrie: I have seen the first three episodes, and I’m just in love with the show. I’ve been in love with the show since minute one.

Lee: Oh good, what do you think of the second season? Do you think it’s coming together?

The words I’m using to describe it so far are brilliant, and lovely. Every good word you can imagine to describe it, I’m using.

Lee:Oh good, thanks. That’s good. I really love how this season is. It’s different from the first season in a lot of ways, I think Bryan really found his stride, coming back from the strike this year.

Last year, you had the set up, and you had to learn a lot about these characters, and this year, you can kind of let them live, and breathe a bit, because we know enough about them.

Lee: That’s true. One thing I was kind of glad to see in the episodes, in last week’s episode, I wanted to make Ned have changed from the last episode of last year because it’s been a year since. In their world, too, a year has past, and I wanted there to be an impact, for Chuck to have had an impact on his life. Having spent time with her, having spent a year living with her, doing the cases with her, I wanted to give him a level of enthusiasm. In a way, kind of a willingness to change, become a better man, ya know?

It’s complicated and he’s got deep issues that he’s trying to deal with but he’s dealing with him. I think in every episode you see him taking a little step forward.
