Zachary Levi should be Band From TV's new lead singer

I say that as if I really care about Band From TV, which you might recall (unless you've been fortunate enough to block out that Idol Gives Back "Before He Cheats" performance) features actors James Denton, Greg Grunberg, Jesse Spencer, Bob Guiney, Bonnie Somerville, and Teri Hatcher. But here's the thing, I just watched this crappy clip (below) from a recent Netflix LIVE! On Location event in Los Angeles, where Chuck's Zachary Levi joined the group to duet with The Bachelor's Guiney on "The Letter," and I found myself actually wishing the sound quality was better.

Apparently, Hayden Panettiere, Adrian Pasdar (even hotter holding a guitar!), and Jorge Garcia also jam with the band. Watch Garcia take on "Mustang Sally" after the jump. Is he decent, or is that just a song it's impossible to screw up? (Note: Turn your volume down. Hayden's a screamer.)

I'm already in love with Zachary Levi, and it appears he can do no wrong. Totally wish the sound quality was better, but he sounded great. And I think Jorge Garcia DEFINITELY pulled it off, but I didn't even hear Hayden. She does scream-sing though, that's for sure.

Yay Zachary! BOO Hayden!! I LOVE BFTV, I don't care what you think! But what about Dr. Keys - Hugh Laurie? Is he not in the band anymore?

Not that surprising, actually. I read somewhere that Zachary Levi was supposed to be the lead for Broadway's "Young Frankenstein" but backed out when he was offered "Chuck." I guess he has a pretty good musical theater background.

I didn't think that Adrian Pasdar could get much hotter...I've been wrong before:) So sexy!

I agree with all the Zachary Levi comments-he seems to have a good voice. Here's hoping for a Chuck musical episode!

As long as I don't have to listen to Terri Hatcher again...

I wish the sound was better.. Zachary Levi sounded good! I also think he should sing on Chuck this year... let's do it NBC!

Here are a few more cool clips that include Hugh Laurie going at it on the piano. Love it!

That's for you, MsDaisy!

That Adrian guy looks deformed to me. *shrug* His head is too big, or misshapen.

James Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 04:28 PM EST

Singing? I didn't hear Hayden singing. I was just LOOKING at her. Pure hotness.

bb Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 04:21 PM EST

Um, both are just mediocre karaoke, they should stick to acting...

deb Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 04:16 PM EST

Adrian Pasdar looks hot playing guitar.

Flyman FTW.

Snarf Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 03:59 PM EST

More Zach (he can really sing! Who knew???) less Hayden (sorry kid but my ears are sacred)

MsDaisy Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 03:11 PM EST

What, no mention of Hugh Laurie? Has he left the band?

J Lo Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 03:07 PM EST

Agreed. Adrian Pasdar + guitar = THE HOTNESS

Melliemel Wed, Aug 13, 2008 at 02:53 PM EST

I'm with you, Mandi. Zachary is pretty dang good. I hope he gets a chance to sing on CHUCK. I heart him even more now.

Jorge Garcia sounded like he had enough grit and soul to pull it off.

But hell to the no on Hayden. Her singing is mediocre, at best.
