Jared and Jensen Panel Report – Salute To Supernatural in San Francisco
Someone from Brazil comes up. Jensen asks her something in Portugese. She says Γ’β¬ΕSi.Γ’β¬Β Were their families supportive of them becoming actors? Jared – Γ’β¬ΕI think when they figured out I wasnΓ’β¬β’t going to be homeless.Γ’β¬Β Jensen – there was hesitant support since his Dad was an actor. He knew how difficult it could be to find success in such a saturated industry. He encouraged Jensen to give it a shot and if it didnΓ’β¬β’t work, come back and go to college. He didnΓ’β¬β’t have trouble finding work.
What inspires them? Jensen finds inspiration in performances. Recently heΓ’β¬β’s found inspiration from Jeff Bridges in True Grit.
SomeoneΓ’β¬β’s cell phone ring tone (a bouncy one) goes off and Jared starts dancing in his seat to it.
Γ’β¬ΕHave either of you been to the Winchester Mystery House?Γ’β¬Β No, but theyΓ’β¬β’re wanting to. Jensen – Γ’β¬ΕBut weΓ’β¬β’ve shot Winchester guns, does that help?Γ’β¬Β
Someone asked about them doing Borat quotes. That came out when Phil (Sgriccia) was directing. He collects all the outtakes and prints them. A lot of the gag reel is from Phil SgricciaΓ’β¬β’s episodes.
Question for Jared. Γ’β¬ΕHow many scarves do you own and do you shared them with Gen?Γ’β¬Β He has three. He got the one he was wearing yesterday from Gen. Γ’β¬ΕIΓ’β¬β’m 6Γ’β¬β’ 4Γ’β¬Β this is a blanket to Gen.Γ’β¬Β
If they werenΓ’β¬β’t actors what would they be doing? Jensen - He planned to go to college and study Sports Medicine. Jared – He was enrolled in University of Texas to be an engineer. He ended up booking episodes for Gilmore Girls and never showed up for school.
Γ’β¬ΕHow many items have disappeared from the set and ended up at their homes?Γ’β¬Β Jared mentions about taking the jeans he was wearing and all the watches, one which he will be auctioning off later. Jensen doesnΓ’β¬β’t know. Jared does have a story though. They had a big, big stunt where the Impala gets hit by the car. HeΓ’β¬β’s sitting in the car and found the decal on the steering wheel. They werenΓ’β¬β’t sure if season one would be renewed so he took it. Why not, he had a cover. The carΓ’β¬β’s been in an accident and the decal fell off. They also Γ’β¬ΕborrowΓ’β¬Β clothes once in a while. Jensen comments, Γ’β¬ΕThereΓ’β¬β’s an entire department that shops for clothes that fit me, thereΓ’β¬β’s a whole semi-truck of clothes for me, so why go shopping and pay money…Γ’β¬Β
How long does it take to make an episode from the time they get the script to end of filming? ThereΓ’β¬β’s a week of prep, art, locations. It takes eight days to film and episode. With prep, filming and post production, it takes about 3 – 4 weeks an episode. For them, itΓ’β¬β’s about 2 weeks (getting script and filming). While theyΓ’β¬β’re filming the crew is prepping for another. Γ’β¬ΕItΓ’β¬β’s a well oiled machine,Γ’β¬Β Jensen comments.
What are their favorite dance moves? This ends up being an answer that well, you just had to be there. If itΓ’β¬β’s on Youtube, that segment is a must see. Jared gets up showing two dances, his favorite dance move for Γ’β¬ΕSamΓ’β¬Β he calls the Jensen (bounces all around), the other is for his mother-in-law (waves his arms around). Jensen dances Γ’β¬ΕThe Creaser,Γ’β¬Β which is a dance theyΓ’β¬β’ve done on the gag reel before. It completely lacks coordination and rhythm.
ItΓ’β¬β’s a if they could go back in time question. First Jared lets an upcoming spoiler slip through a joke. Jensen comes out with the spoiler … (ALERT!!!!!!!, highlight if you want to know)
about and upcoming episode about how they go back to the late 1800Γ’β¬β’s and theyΓ’β¬β’re doing a Western. TheyΓ’β¬β’ve always wanted to do it. Γ’β¬ΕSeason six, letΓ’β¬β’s give them their Western.Γ’β¬Β
Update on score, 7-3 Jets. Jensen, heΓ’β¬β’s not a Jets fan, but heΓ’β¬β’s less of a Patriots fan.
Someone asks about the latest natural events, if a current events episode can be done about it. They bring up birds falling from the sky. Γ’β¬ΕDonΓ’β¬β’t worry, weΓ’β¬β’re on it,Γ’β¬Β Jared jokes. ItΓ’β¬β’s impossible to make it a current event. They might utilize that story point, but not make it an episode.
What are their favorite one-liners? They donΓ’β¬β’t know. Jensen – Γ’β¬ΕAfter 120 episodes I canΓ’β¬β’t remember the name of the episodes anymore.Γ’β¬Β He acknowledges Dean has a lot of great one-liners and Bob Singer puts in many of those Dean one liners. Γ’β¬ΕCram it with walnuts ugly!Γ’β¬Β Someone shouts. Jared hops up mocking offense. Jensen says Eric Kripke wrote that and heΓ’β¬β’s the one that made up Γ’β¬ΕFight those fairies.Γ’β¬Β Someone else bring up Γ’β¬ΕPudding!Γ’β¬Β Both Jared and Jensen say that one has stuck around and the crew uses it constantly when things go wrong. TheyΓ’β¬β’ve got some mileage over that one.
The last person asks about Dean being a jerk to Castiel. Is Dean ever going to make it up to Cass? Jensen reminds the person Dean and Cass have a closer bond and IΓ’β¬β’m not really sure if he answered the question. He does though go into working with Misha. Γ’β¬ΕNothing is more entertaining than watching him try to keep a straight face while Jared is off camera doing everything he can to get him to laugh.Γ’β¬Β
Suddenly, Jared remembers a good one-liner. Γ’β¬ΕΓ’β¬ΛI learned that from the pizza manΓ’β¬β’ is a good one.Γ’β¬Β
Before going, Jared auctions his season five watch and a chair back from the set for one of his and GenΓ’β¬β’s friends charities. (IΓ’β¬β’m still trying to get the right name and url). Jared starts parading the watch around doing all sorts of funny poses while Adam from Creation starts the bidding. They both sell for $3500. Jared is stunned and gracious. Γ’β¬ΕI owe you $5 because the battery diedΓ’β¬Β he tells the person who bought it. Then trips coming back to the stage. Jensen jokes. Γ’β¬ΕLife with Jared. IΓ’β¬β’m going to write a book.Γ’β¬Β
ThereΓ’β¬β’s more to auction though! Jensen has grabbed the signs from the trailers from the upcoming Γ’β¬ΕBizzaroΓ’β¬Β episode (as he calls it). It has their names on it and Γ’β¬ΕSupernatural.Γ’β¬Β TheyΓ’β¬β’re an official 6.15 episode prop. TheyΓ’β¬β’ll sign them too. Those sell for $1600.
Both Jared and Jensen thank the crowd, for they never believed theyΓ’β¬β’d get as much as they did for charity. Γ’β¬ΕIf you take off your shirt you can get more,Γ’β¬Β someone shouts. Jensen laughs hard and pretends to play along. Jared grabs the mic and in mock anger yells – Γ’β¬ΕDonΓ’β¬β’t objectify my friend!Γ’β¬Β
ThatΓ’β¬β’s it! It was off to autographs. I had a fan girl moment in the autographs, for they signed their pictures in the first page of the TV Guide article, right next to where my name was mentioned. They even gave me personal messages of thanks (they usually donΓ’β¬β’t write personal messages with autographs at these cons).
There will be plenty more reports coming from Ardeospina about the con. Overall, it was a really good one for being held in a first time city. It was a smaller con but I find those are better.
Enjoyed reading your recap. Glad you got to go. And very cool that they personalized your autograph!! Well-deserved though, I must say.
Great report, thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks so much alice for informing thbose of us who can`t be there.
Thanks for the great recap!! I can’t wait for the episode mentioned in the spoiler…
Thanks! I’m glad you & your daughter had a great time!
I’m really excited by that spoiler!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this down. Your reports are usually the most accurate I have seen when we have both attended a con, so I enjoy reading them about cons I have not attended, because I know that they are unbiased. I also like the con reports from Fangasm those are good too
Zaz
Ah, I find reports like this a certain kind of torture. I love reading them, but it makes me jealous that I couldn’t be there in person.
Thank you so much for the great report Alice.
Hey Alice, I haven’t heard from you since Chicago *waves wildly* I had dinner with you and a couple friends of yours at the seafood place. I was with the red head and the older woman and her daughter. Anywho, Loved your review from the Con, I can’t wait till ChiCon again. π
Thanks for the report! I haven’t seen any vids yet,but I will be looking on the SuperWiki page tomorrow.
I am so glad someone finally asked them about the Winchester Mystery House! I live about 8 miles from it and have been a few times. It gutted me to be right here in San Jose and then in SF- about 40 min. away – and I couldn’t go to this con. Grrr. But I have been to three, so I can’t complain;-)
Sounds like you had a great time … I’m having a total fangirl moment about the spoiler! π π π
Alice, thanks so much for this report! I’m so happy for you that you had such a great time and that your daughter got to ask that question (yes, proud momma moment, galore! :D).
Enjoy the happy memories for a while! Those pictures last (well, to my experience ;-))
Love Jas
Wow. I canΓΒ΄t wait till May when the Con is here.
Suze, I’m equally excited about that spoiler!!! My head is spinning with pictures right now… ah, sweet dreams coming true!
What a great report. I was sitting behind you at this panel and I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed your daughter’s question, she was great! And Jenifer’s snort, or two, how can you beat that? Overall, just perfect for my first SPN conference. I can’t wait to go again.
Alice, thank you soooo much for report! I’m so glad for you. And envy ))) Still reading…

Hi Alice – were you in Jensen’s Q&A on Sunday? I was there but don’t have a complete transcript of it. Just wondering if you have one. And also, I have some amazing videos of the Js panels on youtube if you would like to share them here on WFB – let me know.
Thx, JensAngel
