If you’re an Office fan following the post about the new show being helmed by Greg Daniels and Mike Schur and starring Amy Poehler, then you know the show also stars Aziz Ansari.

‘The Office’ non-spin-off news

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | 572 comments

This post lists news about the new TV show being helmed by The Office’s Greg Daniels and Mike Schur. While initially announced as possibly being a spin-off of ‘The Office,’ that is no longer the case. Mike Schur currently refers to it as “The Untitled Amy Poehler Project.” It is scheduled to air on NBC in April 2009.

Latest updates

• Nov. 18: “Jones is set to play Ann Logan, a nurse whose boyfriend has a strange injury. It’s that injury that leads Jones’ character into the world populated by Poehler and Aziz Ansari.” More at Variety.
• Nov. 18: The New York Post reported this morning that Rashida Jones is joining the cast. (Tipster: Paul) Immediately suspicious of this information, I contacted Michael Schur, one of the showrunners, who confirms “It’s true. She’ll be playing a nurse named Ann. (Not Karen Fillipelli.)” There you have it — an OfficeTally scoop. Thanks, Mike!

Office spec script table read tonight in L.A.

Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 | 5 comments

I just received this:

For those in LA, there is gonna be a performance of a really funny Office spec script at the ioWest Main Stage at 6:45 tonight in Hollywood.

Lots of talented actors and improvers. It’s actors from the ioWest (Improv Olympic). It’s like Groundlings or Second City … they have a series where writers write spec scripts for different shows and then the actors do a “table read” for an audience … the script is good, the actors are good, they have a full bar.

Just a fun, free activity that a true Office fan might enjoy. Should be a lot of fun!

I read the cold open from the script, and it’s pretty funny! This event is FREE.
