Jon Benjamin may or may not have called Kevin Kline (aka Mr. Fischoeder) at the Bob’s Burgers panel that took place during the Paley Center 2014 gig. This is just a tip of the iceberg of what I thought was a more entertaining panel than that of the New York Comic Con 2014 one. For starters, people in attendance got to see a full Bob’s Burgers episode while the Comic Con crowd only got clips. Also, the Paley crowd got to chat with genius producer Jim Dauterive along with Kristen Schaal, John Roberts, Jon Benjamin, Larry Murphy, and Loren Bouchard.
The reason why the panel was more fun, is because we got a moderator. Usually, Loren likes to host Bob’s Burgers panels, but he seldom asks interesting questions to his fellow castmates, probably because he already knows all of the answers. He’s MUCH better at answering questions because he’s so knowledgeable, and he seldom keeps things secret or ubiquitous. Am I saying Jesse David Fox from the Vulture was a good moderator? No, not really. The Vulture was really nowhere to be found when Bob’s Burgers was on the air its first two seasons, but the point is ANYONE could have been a moderator, and the panel would have been just as fun because we would hope to get questions that Loren has to think about the answer to.
Unfortunately, the only answer I haven’t heard from any panels is why the fuck FOX keeps messing around with the time-slots for Bob’s Burgers. The next episode doesn’t even air until November, so check your local listings. Also, watch the PaleyCenter Bob’s Burgers panel here.
