Have they already filmed the back 13 for season 2?

Not sure; they might've actually meant that when they said "season 3" in the podcast. :shrug:

No need to spoil the skit if you don't want to, but can you tell me about the "behind the scenes" type stuff? Once the skit is over do four cameramen run out asking you to sign releases? Does Quin/The Joker just walk off once he is done and never talk to you or do they stay for a chat? What size crew is it? Were the other jokers around/nearby? etc.

So as a foreword I'd never actually seen the show before and the only knowledge I had of it was from promo materials, so pretty much all familiarity I have with the show's concept is from the YT clips I just now looked up. It's pretty amicable all around, though. Crew members were visible the entire time but my interactions with Quinn were so surreal and altogether not that joke-y that I didn't mentally connect him with the crew until the very end, where he was actually interacting with the other three dudes. At the end of the skit he ran back to tell us about the show and that he won thanks to us, although I'm still not sure what the dudes were actually trying to get him (or us) to do. A single dude approached us pretty much immediately after and gave us some papers to sign, definitely seemed pretty candid about everything.

I shook Quinn's hand at the end. Possible joke spoiler: Looking back, in what I'm sure was a scripted gag, Quinn gives me the handshake/fist-bump fakeout and we mash fingers awkwardly. He tickled my palm.

I also have no loving idea where they could have possibly put the cameras.

A lot of the outdoor bits have people sitting on the benches with a camera peaking over the top of a newspaper. Or they'd have two people have a conversation and the person facing the bit will be holding a camera under his arm or something.

Hopefully they get a good sized raise out of it actually being called the 3rd season. Q has seemed a little less enthused about IJ over the last few months of TESD, but maybe that's just me reading too much into his attitude about it.

I think it's probably more the wear of the shooting schedule talking there. He's said before that doing the show with his best friends is a blast, even if it the schedule can draining.

Really funny first episode.

Anybody catch the "live chat" that started after the show aired? A few notes:

Season 1 DVD will be coming out this holiday season (no notes on what will be on the DVD)
They seem to have been constantly touring, but also have a "Fall Tour" announcement coming up
Q still wears the hat that Joe put his junk into, but has cleaned it several times.
