The Office’s Executive Producer Greg Daniels and Rainn Wilson held a conference call last week to answer questions about the show.

There are some really interesting stories in there! And just hearing Greg and Dwight goof on each other is entertainment in itself.

Following is an optimized transcript of the event, and it’s LONG. (That’s what she said.)

Thank you, NBC! :)

Greg Daniels: He Knows Where You Work

Wednesday, August 1st, 2007 | 9 comments

Inc.com interviews The Office Executive Producer Greg Daniels:

Greg Daniels is to fun what Bono is to money: He has a lot of it and spends his days contemplating those who have none. Daniels created the American version of The Office, a sitcom about a paper company where the tin-eared boss mistakes insults for banter and tries employees’ patience with cringe-inducing entertainments. As executive producer and a writer for the NBC program, Daniels is essentially boss of a show about the Dante’s Inferno of workplaces.

Greg Daniels and B.J. Novak interviews

Thursday, July 19th, 2007 | 7 comments

SPOILER WARNING! IGN talks to The Office’s Greg Daniels and B.J. Novak about the conclusion of Season 3 and plans for Season 4.

IGN TV: What did you think when you found out how the Season 3 finale was going to end?

Novak: Well, as one of the writers, I was there for the whole process. I was thrilled. We had talked for years about Ryan maybe becoming Michael’s boss some day, and how funny that would be — to see that reversal. [Steve] Carell has brought it up to me, and the writers have pitched it at various times. So for me it was so fun to have something new to do.
