Brian Baumgartner visits the OfficeTally Chat Room

Sunday, November 9th, 2008 | 13 comments

It was awesome to chat with The Office’s Brian Baumgartner this afternoon in the OfficeTally Chat Room.

Brian discussed what it was like working with Stephen Merchant and Amy Ryan, why he is ‘King of the Internet,’ and what food he’ll never be able to eat again, because of The Office. Thank you, Brian, for keeping the LOLs coming at a steady pace!

Angela Kinsey visits the OfficeTally Chat Room

Monday, September 29th, 2008 | 30 comments

We were thrilled to welcome The Office’s Angela Kinsey to the OfficeTally Chat Room tonight!

The discussion covered a lot of ground — from a wardrobe malfunction at the Emmys, to Rainn’s little booty pat in ‘Weight Loss,’ to the next great chick flick starring Angela and her BFF, to perhaps even a few spoilers! Even baby Isabel came by to voice her opinion! (We’re not sure what she said, though.)

Thanks to all who participated! (And apologies if I didn’t get to your question; they were being submitted so fast and furious, I accidentally logged myself out a few times in the chaos! I know, lame.)

Here is a transcript of the event.

Jenna Fischer rocks the OTCR

Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | 78 comments

The best ticket in town –
The Office’s Jenna Fischer paid a special visit to the OfficeTally Chat Room tonight!

Since we weren’t sure exactly when she’d be stopping by, the OTCR was abuzz with activity all afternoon. One faithful Tallyhead waited eight and a half hours! Another likened the anticipation to “waiting outside of Best Buy for a Wii.”

All in all, Jenna answered questions for over an hour, keeping more than 50 Tallyheads in rapt attention.

Thank you so much, Jenna, for stopping by!

Many thanks to The Office writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky for visiting the OfficeTally Chat Room tonight!

Oh sure, there were some disparaging remarks made about our last OTCR guests, and the conversation turned raunchy around minute 33, but what’s an OfficeTally Chat without a little insanity?

Full transcript available after the jump. Thank you, Lee and Gene! We miss you guys and we miss the show!

P.S. In the following transcript, “leeeisenberg” refers to both Lee and Gene. They are one.

Michael Schur and Jen Celotta visit the OTCR

Thursday, November 8th, 2007 | 68 comments

It was an absolute thrill to welcome The Office’s co-executive producers and writers extraordinaire Michael Schur and Jen Celotta into the OfficeTally Chat Room tonight!

Aside from Mike mistaking Parker for a guy and Jen trying to type replies on a toaster, the chat went very well. They answered questions about the strike and the future of the show.

I talked to Mike afterwards, and he sounded totally pumped about the whole experience. Another chat is a definite possibility for the near future.

A full transcript of the chat after the jump. A few tiny spoilerish tidbits included.

Angela stops by OTCR

Sunday, September 30th, 2007 | 35 comments

I know this is a cliche thing to say, but Angela LOVES THE FANS. After spending a very busy day with Angela yesterday, she was determined to take some time to come into OTCR.

She was a trouper to stay in the chat room for nearly 20 minutes, because every few minutes the room would log her out! Grrr, so frustrating!

Angela talks about ‘Fun Run,’ upcoming storylines, the EW photo shoot, and asks some interesting questions.

Following is an abbreviated transcript of her visit. I didn’t get to follow along yesterday, so I’m reading it for the first time today. Thanks, you guys, for being so awesome to Angela!

And Angela, as always, thank you SO MUCH for taking the time to come in to OTCR and chat with us!

Just a little thank you to one Mr. Kevin Malone, who made a surprise visit to the OfficeTally Chat Room yesterday!

He logged in from the set Scranton and said, “I am just checking in, post-Emmys to thank all of you for the support.” He chatted with us for about 15 minutes before having to attend a meeting in the conference room. (Hope he didn’t get in trouble with Angela!)

A little bit of excitement in the OTCR

Saturday, April 28th, 2007 | Comments Off

The OfficeTally Chat Room had a surprise visitor yesterday — a member of The Office crew! He was most gracious in answering questions from OTCR chatters about the show.

As he didn’t identify himself by name during his OTCR visit, I am respecting his privacy by not revealing it here. Just know that, as always, I did confirm that he really was who he said he was. I’m nicknaming him “Lighting Guy.”

His email to me said in part:

Yes, it was me in the chat room :-) It was fun meeting everyone in there and it’s great to have so much support from such loyal fans of the show!

You just never know who’s gonna show up in the OTCR … :)
