Hollywoodreporter.com is reporting that My Name Is Earl Executive Producer Greg Garcia filled his spare time during the recent writer's strike by working at a fast food restaurant. Read the article here. According to their website, Mr. Garcia kept his identity secret during his employment, only revealing his secret identity upon notifying his erstwhile employer that he would be terminating his employment. Further, Mr. Garcia gave a cashier's check in the amount of $10,000 to one of his co-workers. There are rumors of backroom wagering involving stacking cups and malt-chugging competitions, but nothing substantiated has come to light.
TV Fodder has this exclusive interview with one of Mr. Garcia's ex-co-workers who wishes to remain anonymous.
TV Fodder: So you worked with Greg Garcia?
Fast Food Employee: Yes.
TVF: Nice guy?
FFE: Yes.
TVF: Did you ever witness Mr. Garcia spitting in or otherwise tainting the food? Stealing any money? Making fun of customers?
FFE: No, no, he never did any of that stuff.
TVF: We understand he kept his identity secret. Did you ever see him with a cape or a mask or fighting crime in any way?
FFE: Well, no. But he could sweep and pour drinks and cook fries like he was three guys, so maybe he has super powers like the Flash. Or Superman. Or Thor.
TVF: Anything else you can tell us?
FFE: Well, he was fond of saying things like, "Oh, snap" and "Would you like me to Karma-size that?"
TVF: Thank you for your time.
FFE: Would you like that to go?
TV Fodder is pleased to bring you this breaking news.
