Here's that joke:

So a mushroom goes into a bar and asks the bartender for a drink. The bartender says, "Sorry, we don't serve mushrooms here." The mushroom says, "Come on! I'm a fungi!"

About the jokester:

There is a bullet-punctured human shaped target in the trunk of Emily Wickersham's car. But all the 30-year-old actress will say about the tattered piece of paper is that it's the remains of the gun training she underwent to become the newest agent/genius on CBS's NCIS, the biggest drama on TV, and that she uses it, somehow, "for intimidation purposes." Her character joined the show's investigative Team from the (fictional, exceptionally cheery, NSA last season, and in another Phase of Wickersham's preparation, she video-chatted with a Group of (real, perhaps less cheery) NSA analysts. So, with all of this inside knowledge, does she think she'd make a good analyst herself? "I don't know. Would I?" Okay, how close did she become with the ones she talked to? "I can't tell you if I'm buddies with them." Is she actually a sleeper NSA analyst Undercover as an actress playing a former NSA analyst on NCIS? "I'm not going to confirm - and I'll leave it at that." Cue the theme music.
