This posts lists items about the Spirit Awards — celebrating the best in independent film. This year’s show was hosted by Rainn Wilson. It aired on Feb. 23 — live on the Independent Film Channel (IFC) at 2pm PT and an edited version that evening on AMC.

It was a hilarious afternoon. Rainn did a great job. So did Jen Celotta, who co-wrote the show!

Happy Birthday, Jen and Mike!

Sunday, November 11th, 2007 | 33 comments

No, they don’t have the same birthday.

Jennifer Celotta’s birthday is today; Mike’s birthday is actually October 29, but given the craziness of The Office Convention followed by the WGA strike, it completely slipped my mind. Mike, please publicly berate me at your earliest convenience.

Anyway, Happy Birthday to Jen and Happy Belated Birthday to Mike!

Thanks for staying in touch with the fans during this difficult time. You guys rock!

P.S. Wow. I didn’t even give you guys your own separate birthday posts. I’ve turned into Jim.

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.
