The news is trickling in that Chuck has a new start date for the fall — a full 3 months earlier than predicted!

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that Chuck will be back for its 3rd season starting on Sunday, January 10th for a 2 hour premiere of back to back episodes.

The third episode will then play the very next night at Chuck’s old slot on Mondays at 8pm.   Heroes will shift back to its old 9pm time-slot.

Check out the Season 3 Teaser below:

Welcome news indeed!  Not too much longer without our weekly Yvonne fix.  I, for one, can’t wait!

Those who follow the site may remember the daughter of forum-goer radi8n who dressed up as Sarah Walker for Halloween.

Well it turns out Chuck writer Ali Adler got word of this awesome costume and made a point of showing it to Yvonne Strahovski on the set of Chuck.

That alone would have been a major coup for little Bailey, but it only got better from there.

Yvonne was so impressed with the costume, that she mailed Bailey a special gift for her awesomeness.

It’s not like we needed more evidence to prove that Yvonne Strahovski is an amazing person, but I really love being able to post this kind of news.  Looks like that’s certainly a one-of-a-kind souvenir!

Yes, Yvonne Strahovski is beautiful.  And of course she’s an amazing actress.  But what really endears her to all of us is that under it all she’s a great person.

It’s small gestures like this that really endear Ms. Strahovski to her fans.  A special congratulations to Bailey for her awesome jacket!

I was able to get links out on Twitter a few days ago for both of these, but Yvonne has recently sat down with Televisionary for an interview about season 3 of Chuck.

In addition, someone found this Schick Quattro commercial which I assume is from Australia.  Yvonne doesn’t have a speaking role and is barely in the commercial at all, but it’s Yvonne Strahovski so I know you’ll watch it anyway.

Enjoy them both!

Also, if you don’t already follow us on Twitter then do so!  A lot of this sort of stuff gets there before I have time to post it on the main site… and some stuff never makes it to the main site at all.
