My Name is Earl - Reporter

My call time was at 3pm yesterday somewhere in the middle of the valley. I've heard good things about working on this show and was looking forward to checking it out. I like the show, but hadn't really kept up with it last season and had hear that Earl was now in jail and figured the reporter scene had something to do with that. I arrived just before they broke for lunch, and even though they invited us to eat lunch, I wasn't hungry because we were told to come "having had" which means you're supposed to eat before you come and I was full. I was a little disappointed because the food looked better than normal catering, but I did have some fruit.
After lunch we waited while they finished up shooting some prison scenes. They also spread out "My Name is Earl" posters on the tables next to us that had some autographs on them. When the prison scenes were done, Jason Lee came by to add his signature to them. He seemed like a pretty cool laid back guy. That was pretty much the only time I saw him. We (the reporters) were finally told what our scene was about. It was part of a group of small scenes having to do with the governor. The scene was the governor's wife giving us a tour of the governor's mansion and all of us walking in to find the governor (Craig T Nelson of Coach and Poltergeist) standing in his underwear playing around with some kind of guitar. We had to react to him and that was the scene. Very short and sweet. It was fun and we probably did it about 4-5 times and then we were done.
