File this under The Most Random Thing Ever.

HuffPost TV has learned exclusively that Academy Award-winning writer-director Francis Ford Coppola spent some time on the set of "The Young and the Restless" this week. Apparently, he is interested in learning more about multi-camera and live TV and was on set and in the control room of the hit CBS daytime soap.

After observing production, Coppola said of the experience, "I'm enjoying being at 'The Young and the Restless.' The people are wonderful. I'm learning a lot."

Actors Peter Bergman, Jess Walton, and Billy Miller, along with Executive Producer Jill Farren Phelps, later took Coppola on a tour of the set.
