"You'll get to see Jeff eating a urinal cake in 3-D."

When we found out that NBC's spy-fi comedy Chuck was planning a special 3D episode for next year, we were excited - and now that creator Josh Schwartz is promising us at least one special 3D sight that we've never seen before (Hint: It includes the words "urinal cake"). We can't wait to see what else the show has lined up for its February red-and-green bonanza. Schwartz explains why we're getting 3D Chuck in the first place, and also identifies the two dream guest-stars for the show, below.

Somewhat surprisingly, according to Scwartz, Chuck's 3D episode comes because of NBC's special plans for next year's Superbowl:

    It was NBC['s idea]. They were doing this big promotion inside of the Superbowl and handing out 150 million 3-D glasses, so we are the beneficiaries of that. Initially their plan was to have a bunch of shows do it, but it was logistically complicated, so "Chuck" seemed like the best fit for that type of thing... [You'll get to see] Jeff eating a urinal cake in 3-D. The director of [Medium's 2006 3-D] episode is actually our resident director, so he had lots of experience with 3-D, and the technology has come a long way.

Who knew that organized sports could give such a gift to nerds? But the magic of three dimensions isn't the only thing that Schwartz is working on when it comes to the cast and crew of the BuyMore:

    [The show's use of guest-stars] began, for me, as a search for Steven Seagal and Jan Claude Van Damme. While that proved fruitless, there were a lot of other people interested in doing the show... I'm not giving up [on Seagal and Van Damme]!

The muscles from Brussels teaming up with Charles Carmichael? Yeah, that might just make our year.

And I'm thinking you weren't burdened with an overabundance of schooling.

When they made that joke at the Paley Center event, about wanting Van Damme to guest star, I said that "Chuck" could be the new 'Loveboat', in that all the cool &/or up and coming stars could guest! A well known celeb each week? Fun stuff!

Oh, crap!  Not 3-D!  I thought that went out with Jaws 3!
