‘The Office’ wins WGA Award
Saturday, February 9th, 2008 | 12 comments‘The Office’ has won a Best Comedy Episode WGA Award for the Season 3 finale, ‘The Job,’ written by Paul Lieberstein & Michael Schur. Congratulations, Paul and Mike!
The show lost the Best Comedy Series award to ‘30 Rock.’
Yes, Michael Schur IS Ken Tremendous
Wednesday, February 6th, 2008 | 17 commentsWho the heck is Ken Tremendous, you ask?
If you follow baseball, or if you just love snarky sports writing, then you may have heard of a blog called Fire Joe Morgan — “Where Bad Sports Journalism Comes To Die.” (NSFW for profanity)
It’s been called one of the best sports humor sites online. (Not by me, because I don’t know anything about baseball, but it has been said.)
One of the key contributors to FJM is a writer who goes by the name of Ken Tremendous.
Well yesterday, The Office’s own Michael Schur outted himself as that writer. How so much wicked funny can come out of one dude … well that is tremendous.

Write a letter (part 2)
Tuesday, December 11th, 2007 | 56 commentsTonight I received this email from Michael Schur, writer and co-executive producer of The Office:
Hey tanster,
Saw this somewhere and thought TallyHeads might be into it.
This site, Firedoglake, has made it really easy to send emails to the companies on behalf of specific shows. I’d encourage them not only to do it for The Office, but for any show on any network they like and want to see come back.
Constant pressure on the networks is having an effect — and on advertisers, too. At least one large national company is considering pulling ads from shows because of pressure from consumers. (Unconfirmed but there’ve been a lot of rumors.)
Anyway, thought this might be something good for the site … as always, thanks.
If you wrote and sent a letter the first time around, you are a-w-e-s-o-m-e. Now it’s time to do it again. Tell those network execs to get back to the negotiating table!
Do it for The Office. Do it for Mose.
