There’s a new mystery woman on “NCIS” and ET special correspondent CARLOS PONCE is on the set when she goes undercover — and under the covers — with Special Agent Tony DiNozzo (MICHAEL WEATHERLY) for tonight’s episode, airing on CBS at 8 p.m.
“You have to watch,” COTE DE PABLO tells Carlos, who is feeling very protective toward the actress, with whom he co-hosted the Spanish-language TV show “Control” years ago. “[You don't want to watch] because you met me when I was 15, and in your mind I still am.”
Cote was initially introduced on “NCIS” as Mossad agent Ziva David, who was sent to Washington, D.C. to convince Gibbs (MARK HARMON) that the sniper that killed Kate (SASHA ALEXANDER) was not Ari (guest star RUDOLF MARTIN). Of course, it was, but as Ari’s half-sister, Ziva had to be convinced. Gibbs managed to do that and Ziva ended up killing her brother — just before he put a bullet into Gibbs. Now she’s joining the staff of NCIS as a new special agent.
“It is an incredible show,” Cote tells Carlos. “I am playing a wonderful character. I couldn’t be more thrilled. It is a huge challenge for me as an actress. I am so happy to be working with these incredible actors, who are just incredible people also.”

Of course, they are also practical jokers and Cote has already fallen for a prank pulled by Mark.
“The first week I actually worked with Mark Harmon, we are standing in the elevator shooting a scene,” she recalls. “Halfway through the scene, they yell, ‘Cut.’ He turns to me and says, ‘You have to watch out for the elevator … just hold on.’”
By the end of the scene, she was hanging on for dear life, and she had been “punk’d!”

Somebody’s number is up at the end of the “NCIS” season finale tonight, but who could it be? Our own KEVIN FRAZIER hit the set of the hit CBS drama to find out just who draws the short straw on tonight’s episode.

“I think anything’s in play here, I really do,” MARK HARMON tells Kevin. “I kind of thought [I was safe] at ‘St. Elsewhere’ and they wrote me out the door in two seconds, so the truth is this is a job you do daily here, and I think it’s healthy for a show to let actors know that they’re replaceable.”

In September 2003, most people didn’t know NCIS (the acronym for Naval Criminal Investigative Service) from NBFA (National Business Forms Association) or NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology).

TV producer Don Bellisario was nervous enough about the low recognition factor that he originally gave his series the redundant title “Navy: NCIS.” He also made it a running joke in the pilot that NCIS agents got puzzled looks when they announced themselves and flashed their badges.

HOLLYWOOD — When actor Michael Weatherly was 12 years old, his parents sent him to Camp Challenge. His mother wanted to toughen him up, he says.

“It was a three-week duration, and I had to canoe, fight, build my own ax, learn to read a topographic map, compass, and we had something called ‘24-hour survival’ where they left us in the woods alone for 24 hours and you had to find food, build a lean-to. That changed me. It either changed me or it broke me,” he says.
