Comedy Comes to PaleyFest 2008
February 5, 2008 by Chandra
Everyone has been talking about this year’s William S. Paley Television Festival for one worthy main reason — the reunion of all of the major cast members from Joss Whedon’s iconic series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, including star Sarah Michelle Gellar.
But, when PaleyFest 2008 takes place from March 14 to 27 in Hollywood, California, several rookie dramedies will also be on hand to help celebrate the event’s 25th anniversary, namely NBC’s Chuck and ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money and Pushing Daisies.
As of Monday, the PaleyFest website reports the following in-person lineups for each of the series’ panels. Note that more participants may be named later for the ABC shows, although no such disclaimer is needed for Chuck since the entire regular and supporting casts — and creative team — are already onboard (Nice, guys and gals!).

Sounds sweet, doesn’t it?
All interested attendees from the lowly general public can start grabbing tickets to the festivities from TicketWeb on February 10. They’ll cost you $60 or more each, not including fees, and are guaranteed to sell out quickly now that Gellar’s appearance has been confirmed for the Buffy reunion on March 20. Heck, if I lived on the West Coast, I’d make sure I was there for that, too.
