Thanks to a post by theofficetemp at the LiveJournal Office community, I trekked to the newsstand tonight to get a copy of the latest People magazine.
My scanning skills aren’t the best, but hey, it’s John getting down on one knee.
The Martha, Leno, and Ferguson appearances are all repeats.
Remember there is no Office episode next Thursday (football).
For a complete list of events, see the OT Calendar.
Emmys, Schmemmys. What about the iPod?
No, we don’t have an iPod Giveaway winner yet.
I don’t even have my list of favorites done. I read entries all last night, and I feel like I’m only a fraction of the way through.
I think James is almost finished compiling his list, though. Normally I wouldn’t get so behind on a task like this, but James recently introduced me to 24, and I’ve been spending every possible moment catching up on old episodes. Starting from Season 1. As in, five seasons ago. Curse James and that irresistible Jack Bauer!
Nevertheless, I just wanted to pop in here and say, we have some damn funny people who hang out at OfficeTally and at Northern Attack. I’ve laughed out loud many times while reading the entries, and one thing has become clear: you guys are witty, inventive, and often times, twisted. It’s an honor to read you.
We will hopefully have a winner (or in Emmy speak, “award the iPod to …”) by the end of the long weekend. Take a chill pill ’til then …
In celebration of The Office’s Emmy win on Sunday, Total Axxess is re-airing the interview it did with Angela Kinsey tonight at 7pm Central.
The interview originally aired on August 10th, and since then, audio clips have become available (Clip 1 | Clip 2 | Clip 3 | Clip 4), but the clips DO NOT include some of the choicest Office tidbits.
Some of the Office highlights missing from the audio clips:
Listen to the Angela Kinsey interview here at 7pm Central tonight.
Thanks, Brad, for the tip!
DVD Talk has published a review of The Office Season 2 DVD set, and it’s quite positive! (As if you weren’t already antsy enough about getting your hands on a copy.)
One thing in particular got me excited:
One extra that pretty much all fans will love is the blooper reel, which runs a fantastic 17 minutes, and features the majority of the cast breaking character or flubbing lines. This was a very entertaining featurette and shows how hard it is to be funny in a deadpan way. This kind of extra can be hit or miss, but here it hits hard.
Yay for hard-hitting bloopers!

Thanks to everybody who sent in this tip!
Although I have been dutifully adding all sorts of items to the Office Emmys coverage post today, I felt this photo deserved its own space, don’t you?
Quite stunning.
Update 8/30: Here is the super-large version of the photo.
Lest this event slips through the cracks today, a reminder that B.J. Novak and Friends will perform at Largo, Los Angeles tonight.
You know who B.J. is — he’s a cast member of that Emmy award-winning show, The Office. (Man, that felt good to say.)
Please report back if you attend the show! (Wonder if any Office-mates will make surprise appearances?)
P.S. Note from B.J.: Sold out. Some standing room (at the bar) available if you get there early.

Zap2it: “The Office” executive producer Greg Daniels learned you shouldn’t make a toy out of the pointiest award in showbiz. Steve Carell was jokingly describing how the show’s set is home to “a lot of animosity and friction,” and to drive home the point, Daniels pantomimed bludgeoning his star with his best comedy Emmy.
Variety: “We kind of felt like we were doing the show in a bubble, but clearly it’s catching on,” said Steve Carell, speaking on behalf of “The Office” crew, which won the prize for comedy series in its second season. Exec producer Greg Daniels called the evening “a night of ups and downs” after he cut his hand on the wings of the Emmy backstage. “People thought it was going to be really hard to adapt an English show, but I speak English, so we really had a leg up there,” Daniels joked. But seriously, folks, “It was such a good show in the first place, I don’t think it was as hard as people thought.”
The Envelope.com: In the “The Office” clutch, writer/co-star B.J. Novak looks at his statue and reflects, “I watched the ‘In Memoriam’ and wondered if when I died I’d be up there. Now it’s a tiny bit more likely I will be.” Novak’s co-writer Paul Lieberstein, who plays beleaguered human resources officer Toby on the show, looks at his statue with a hint of fear and chagrin, particularly at the remarkably sharp points of the angel’s wings. “I’ve already scooped up one of Steve Carell’s cufflinks with his.”
Entertainment Weekly: The cast and producers of the best comedy winner, The Office, greeted each new reporter’s question with a group wave and a cheery ‘’hello!'’ When asked about their infectious merriment, star Steve Carell gamely answered, with a perfect deadpan, ‘’We’re pretty deadly serious the entire time.”
