Confirming the theory that everything about the experience of making Party Down was awesome, Jane Lynch describes shooting the first episode in her memoir:
“In June of 2007, we all got together at Rob [Thomas]‘s house in the Hollywood Hills and shot the first episode of Party Down. Because they were paying for it themselves, the pilot was shot on a shoestring budget. Between shots we all hung out in Rob’s bedroom getting to know each other and laughing a lot. I’ve found that doing something for fun and almost for free (we each got $100 for the day) can bring out the best in people. Plus, there’s nothing like undressing in front of folks you just met to inspire humility and togetherness.â€
Constance Carmell would probably back you up about that undressing thing, Jane. Also, while I’m addressing you directly, I hope your memoir includes a fan-fiction chapter where Constance, Sue Sylvester, and Christy Cummings from Best in Show all hang out together.
