I think there will be some videos released at some point because I saw people filming it properly, but I wrote some little moments down 😊

Per Eric Millegan, Brennan's character was originally called Marjorie Miles

TJ Thyne told a story about Betty White. Apparently they were filming a scene together and there’s a part of the set that’s kind of tight/others couldn’t see, so she went “ow!” and everyone looked at him (he said “they all turned on me” 😂) and he looked at her and she winked at him

David Boreanaz jumped in with a Betty White story. He got up and imitated her saying “hi, how are you” very softly to everyone as she made her way to their booth in the diner, then apparently she saw him and went “oh shit, I want to fuck you”

Tamara Taylor and TJ Thyne were the worst when it came to giggling especially late at night, so there are many scenes where they don’t make eye contact. They were filming on Chad Lowe’s birthday (director) and he wanted to wrap somewhat early and was getting frustrated, so first he yelled “stop laughing” (which made them laugh harder) and then apparently out of nowhere he just shouted “DEAD BABIES!” No context or anything, just kept shouting it, and they all lost it and now will say that to each other and immediately laugh

They had fart machines on set. Apparently it was remote controlled and had like 5 sounds? Prior to that they had whoopee cushions (it sounds like they would especially enjoy putting it on Michaela Conlin’s seat). Tamara Taylor said her mom gave them a fart machines at some point

When they were talking about why the show continues to resonate so many years later, Hart Hanson said he noticed that a lot of people with depression and anxiety really like the show and there was a knowing laughter that spread around the room 😂 And then he explained that people will say it got them through a hard time

When David Duchovny directed an episode, he asked to see Eric Millegan’s audition tape and was blown away by it. Hart Hanson said he wrote a two-page monologue for him to learn that was never used in the show, it was just for the audition

Lots of practical jokes on set. There was some sort of container that Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz hid in and jumped out of to scare Tamara Taylor, TJ Thyne, and Michaela Conlin

This one is a little silly, but they all sound so much like their characters! I know that seems obvious, but that's not always the case! At one point Emily Deschanel shouted "Gormogon!!" and it was like Brennan was there 😂
