I hope you didn’t think our coverage of the PUSHING DAISIES panel at this year’s Paley Festival was over! It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to really celebrate the show, so we wanted to make sure we shared as much as we could for those of you who weren’t able to attend.

To that end, we decided to do our second Pushing Daisies Piecast Podcast - this one devoted to our Paley experience. Among other things we discuss some of what we learned during the panel, some thoughts on Season 2, and our experience with the cast on that great night.

Listen Online: PieCast #2: Paley Festival

This podcast has been posted as a special edition of the Ducky Does TV & Give Me My Remote TV Podcast. We’re also available on iTunes.

The divine divas from E!, Kristen Dos Santos and Korbi Ghosh, hit the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Red Carpet and got the poop, the scoop, the skinny, the haps, the dilly-o and the 411. Chi McBride also reveals that the writing staff is on crack. Mild Spoilers coming your way!

Head on over to Watch With Kristin to see the whole post and a picture from the panel that has both Kath and I visible in the bottom left. Dorks!

If you’ve been following our coverage of the Pushing Daisies Paley Festival panel then you know we’re planning on doing another Piecast Podcast to chat about how incredible the evening was but we couldn’t help get some information up after all the emails we’ve received.

The Piecast will hopefully be ready for Monday night as we’ve decided to hold out until after our visit to the Writers Room in the afternoon in case Bryan Fuller and Co. give us any scoop we can spill to all the fans. Fingers crossed gang!

As we’re really trying to save our thoughts until the Piecast, we decided it would be a good chance to have some of our loyal ThePieMaker.com readers in attendance share their thoughts with you all!

First up is Patricia from San Diego (who oddly enough happens to be the Sister of my friend Jenny, strange but true) who attended the panel with her husband Michael. Patricia’s got a ton of quotes from the panel as well as some fun tidbits that the cast and crew shared. Some of our burning questions are answered as well. Ever wonder if Ned is a Vegetarian or if Ned & Chuck could ever possibly have a baby? Well, read on…

Second will be reader Erika with a quick take on what it was like to be a fan and aspiring TV Writer in attendance of her favorite show.

Take it away ladies…

The deluge continues… Here is a very brief video from the beginning of the Pushing Daisies Paley Fest Panel discussion. Hopefully the Paley Center will be releasing a DVD of the panel for sale in the very near future. We will of course keep you updated if that is the case.

We’ve already posted a bunch of the official Paley Center images from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel but here are the one’s that Kath and I took during the session as well as during the fan signing.

For full disclosure, our microtrack was confiscated and our cameras bitch-slapped out of our hands by Security (we were in the front row so apparently it was distracting) even though they made no announcement but whatevs…

Kath and I just got up so we’ll start disseminating information slowly this morning. Here’s a video that The Paley Center already posted from last night’s Pushing Daisies Paley Festival Panel of Chi McBride (Emerson Cod) being his hysterical self and mocking the entire cast. If you listen to the clip carefully enough, you’ll hear Ellen Greene (Aunt Viv) with her adorable “donkey” laugh! The video also has Moderator, Kristin Dos Santos asking a couple fan submitted questions.

Hey gang, Kath and I just returned from our fantastic night with the cast and writers of Pushing Daisies. As you know, they were on hand for Night 2 of the Paley Festival and a sold out crowd welcomed Bryan Fuller, Peter Ocko, Lee Pace, Anna Friel, Chi McBride, Kristin Chenoweth, Ellen Greene, Bruce Cohen and Dan Jinks as well as the fraktastic writing staff for a night we surely won’t forget.

It’s almost 2am here in Los Angeles and we just returned from the after party with the cast and writers who are just a divine group of folks who are incredibly honored and humbled by all of the fans and the love we and other Pushing Daisies sites put out there.

We’ll write more later, post some pictures, some audio, video and even have a podcast ready over the next day or so. Big huge emotional heimlich’s to all of ThePieMaker.com readers who stopped us and chatted. You guys/gals are rock stars and it was amazing meeting you all. Check back later, but for now it’s bedtime!

Dan is on the plane right now heading for L.A. and I’ll be meeting him there in the morning. Words can’t describe how stoked we are for the week ahead. I know some of you are going to the PUSHING DAISIES panel at Paley, so if you see Dan or I, please come say hello (that’s us in the pics below). For those of you who aren’t able to attend, we promise that we’ll be providing as much scoop as we can. We’ll be taking a ton of pics and we’re planning on doing a podcast recapping the night, so don’t worry…if you can’ be there, it will be almost like you were.

We must say a very, very special thank you to ThePieMaker.com reader, Kim, who went so far above and beyond to help Dan and I out this week. To say we are humbled by her generosity would be an understatement. Seriously, we have the BEST readers!! It’s going to be an amazing week and we owe so much of it to Kim. Thanks again, and we look forward to hanging with you on Saturday.

So this is it….we’re off. If you have any questions for the panel that you haven’t yet submitted, please do so. We’ll do everything we can get to get some answers for you this week.

Bye!

We’ve been sitting on this one and had to wait until the official announcement was made, but today we can tell you that E!’s Kristin Dos Santos (and former Pushing Daisies guest star) will be the moderator for the PUSHING DAISIES panel at Paley Fest on Saturday.

Having attended a few Paley panels in the past, I can tell you that a good moderator is key to a good panel. Kristin is a big fan of the show and I know that she’ll do a fantastic job.

I can’t believe that this Saturday Ned (dan) and I will be in a room with the Pace, the Fuller, the Friel, the Chenoweth and all the rest of the cast and crew that make up this delicious show. It’s going to be so very exciting. Even more so for me now that Dan is coming along. And that wouldn’t be possible without the incredible generosity of a Pie Maker reader (and that’s all I can say…for now).

If you have any questions for the panel please feel free to leave them here and we will do our best to get answers for you. There’s a slight chance that Paley might not be the only time we get to chat with the Daisies crew, so make sure you leave us all the questions you’ve been dying to ask.
