NBC's new lineup continued on day two of its press presentation with Chuck, a one-hour drama by Josh Schwartz and McG, the creative team that brought viewers The O.C. The new series stars Zachary Levi, best known for his four years on Less Than Perfect.

If we're supposed to like Chuck, Levi's well cast in the role. He has a self-effacing way about him, especially when asked if he's bulked up over the last few years. He jokes he's eaten a lot of pizza and doesn't work out as much as he should.

Co-star Adam Baldwin is asked a question pretty much everyone knows the answer to. No, he's not related to the famous acting Baldwin brothers of Long Island. Baldwin jokes he hopes to meet Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) now that they're both on NBC so they can settle this in person.

Or at least the education board at a Sarasota high school thinks so. Originally, they had invited Springer to headline a charity dance event called "Hollywood Nights" for the school's cheerleaders.

However, it was then decided that perhaps Jerry Springer wasn't the best choice as a role model for the school's blossoming minds. I mean, he does have obese transvestites with Tasmanian Devil tattoos get into fist fights on his show, so I suppose I can see what they're getting at. Needless to say, the invite was rescinded and Springer will no longer host the event. They plan to find another big name to make an appearance but I can't say that I totally agree with this decision. I think Springer has a lot of good things to say even though his talk show may have you believe otherwise.
