‘Scott’s Tots’ newspaper article

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009 | 8 comments

Remember the newspaper article that Stanley held up to the camera in Scott’s Tots? — the one detailing Michael Scott’s promise to a classroom of third graders that he would pay for their college education?

Even though the article is shown for only a few seconds, it was written with all the care and authenticity you’d expect from ‘The Office’ writing staff.

They even sought the help of Randy Shemanski from the real Scranton Times-Tribune and Electric City publications, who designed the actual newspaper for the story.

Here is Randy’s story and the full text of the Scott’s Tots article, courtesy of Tim from the Scranton Times-Tribune and The Office writing staff. Enjoy!

Ellie Kemper enjoys job as ‘The Office’ receptionist

Monday, December 14th, 2009 | 5 comments

From STLtoday.com:

[Ellie] Kemper, 29, was hired last season to fill in for a few episodes as the receptionist on “The Office.” Producers were charmed and in June asked Kemper to become a regular on the NBC comedy. Since September, she’s been answering the phone at the Dunder Mifflin paper company and playing an increasingly large role in “Office” story lines.

Critics are noticing. Variety named her one of its “10 comics to watch.” Alan Sepinwall of the Newark Star-Ledger praised the “infectious joy and sweetness” she has brought to the show. Others have called her fresh, adorable and “appealingly goofy.”
