OfficeTally is like Machiavelli meets ... the Internet.
I had the pleasure of participating in a conference call with The Office’s Paul Lieberstein and Amy Ryan this morning, along with bunches of press people. We all got a turn in asking Paul and Amy questions, mainly about Season 5.
Here are my rough notes from the call. Continue reading “Paul Lieberstein/Amy Ryan conference call”
From Jenna Fischer’s MySpace blog, dated September 8, 2008:
We are shooting part of our Halloween episode right now. OMG! I cannot wait for you to see everyone in costume this year! It’s AWESOME! I can’t decide who I like best. Our hair, makeup and wardrobe teams worked very hard on this episode. They made our costumes look great but also homemade. I wish they could design my costume for real life! I usually just end up wearing black and orange and a funny hat.
Also this week we are working with Stephen Merchant, co-creator of the British Office. He’s directing an episode this year!
That’s all. Just a little teaser. I’m off to shoot!
