Nothing says celebrating Halloween better than having 50+ Santas walking around the Warner Brothers lot of a Christmas episode of The Mentalist. The episode titled "Jolly Red Elf" happened to shoot during the days before Halloween.
Sure, when you go to a movie studio lot, you expect to see this most random costumes: cowboy, Roman solider, astronaut. But do you really ever think, that maybe you'll round a corner and run into 50 or so men dressed in Santa suits. Though, not all of them were in full blown costumes. Some of them had the summer look. You know, big white beard, big belly, Christmas-y Hawaiian shirt with shorts and sandals. Yes, it was a sight that would definitely turn anyone's head. And yes, it was very entertaining.

It's Not Every Day That... Fireball Explosions
It's not every day that you get invited to watch special effects as they happen.
One of the coolest teams I've met while walking the lot, the SPFX team from CHUCK. They are always so proud of all the cool special effects they get to do every week. That sometimes they forget that they can be dangerous.
A friend and I got invited to watch CHUCK shoot a fireball explosion one evening. Let's just say it was pretty cool. And even from the require distance we were standing from the explosion we could still feel the heat.

King Cobras
I got to watch a little bit of filming of a CHUCK episode that took place in the Warner Brothers "Jungle." Guest star on the set: KING COBRA snakes. Let's just say, I kept my distance.

It's Not Every Day That... It's Underwear Friday??!!
You never know who or what you may run into while walking on the WB lot.
On Friday, while showing 2 friends/coworkers around, we happened to be by the Shameless stage when the show was wrapping for the night. I casually mentioned to my friends that if we stayed put for a bit, we might see the actors leaving the stage.
As we were standing there across from the stage, William H. Macy walked out clad only in a white undershirt and boxers. He stopped and looked directly at us. Then he says, "Just so you know, it's Underwear Friday." And then he continued onto his trailer.
Needless to say, my friends and I were utterly surprised. That was definitely something we will never forget.
