Rolling Stone interview with John Krasinski

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 | 17 comments

Peter Travers of Rolling Stone interviews The Office’s John Krasinski.

It’s off the cuff, on the edge, and super hilarious.

I think John should become a professional talk show guest. He seems to turn any interview into rollicking good fun!

The Office’s Greg Daniels: Grilled

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009 | 5 comments

Greg Daniels is one of the most powerful figures in the TV comedy business. The former “Saturday Night Live” and “The Simpsons” writer is behind one of NBC’s most important comedy hopes (Amy Poehler’s “Parks and Recreation”) and its biggest scripted hit (“The Office,” which just launched in five-days-a-week syndication to local stations covering 98 percent of the country).

Daniels talked with TheWrap’s Josef Adalian about how “The Office” went from struggling to smash hit, why he doesn’t like product placement and whether he thinks his show could live on with a totally new cast.

Jen Celotta at Vancouver IFF Sept. 30

Sunday, September 27th, 2009 | 3 comments

The Office’s writer/producer/director Jen Celotta will be speaking during the Vancouver International Film Festival’s Film and Television Forum on September 30th.

Jen will be speaking along with My Name Is Earl’s Greg Garcia in a session called
“LOL – Comedy Rules”:

Writing for comedy is a very specific skill … and not an easy one. What seems like a straightforward task, i.e. making people laugh, is actually an intricate and idiosyncratic mix of tension, conflict, recall, reference, timing, exaggeration, believability, sympathy, empathy, juxtaposition, satire and parody mixed with context, personality and persuasion. Easy, eh? A comedic writer needs practice and patience to go from the printed page to laugh-out-loud funny. Hear from Emmy Award-winning TV writers about some rules for scripting comedy and developing funny characters.

P.S. Jen wrote and directed this week’s episode, ‘The Promotion’!
