CBS held an "informal" press conference ("informal" being code for "take all the reporters in the massive ballroom and cram them in a meeting room a quarter of the size") for the hit show Jericho. On the panel were executive producers Carol Barbee and Jon Turletaub and stars Skeet Ulrich, Ashley Scott, and Lennie James.

First of all, let me say that the shock of the session came right away, when Lennie, who plays Hawkins, opened his mouth and a British accent came spilling out. I guess I need to watch more British TV, since he's been around for a long time, starring in shows like The State Within. Anyway, the producers fielded most of the questions, mainly revolving around the long break between halves of the season as well as what we'll find out about the various cast members this season.
