Here's an interesting tidbit from today's Ask Ausiello column in TV Guide Online:Question : Any more tidbits you can share from your Keri interview? - Eva
Ausiello : While recording commentary for Felicity: Senior Year Collection (The Complete Fourth Season) DVD, due out March 8, she got all veklempt discussing the last scene of the final episode, in which Greg Grunberg makes a toast to the cast. "They're like, 'What do you think of all that?' And I started crying. I was like, 'Can we start over? This is a little embarrassing.'" Here's another morsel: Keri, who's in the process of buying an apartment in New York, called on her onetime Felicity boss J.J. Abrams to write her a letter of recommendation.
