Emmy reaction
Thursday, July 19th, 2007 | 52 comments- Rainn Wilson in People: “I’ve actually rented Björk’s swan dress. I know that’s kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.” NEW
- Michael Schur to OfficeTally: “It is so rewarding to get an Emmy nomination for Best Interview Subject for my work on OfficeTally. But all the credit has to go to tanster. She’s the one who asked the questions. (Honestly, it is an incredible feeling. The entire staff could be nominated, so I feel very lucky just to have this job, much less get nominated for something.)”

Random note:
I just watched the episode commentaries from Season 1–it was so cute especially with lots of stories from JK! I’ve seen it before when I purchased the DVD. I usually don’t laugh out loud, unless it’s pretty freakin’ hilarious and it pretty much was.
reason number 3209480923 why this site rocks!
Nice shout out from Michael, tanster!
Rainn has an interesting plan for his Emmy outfit:
“I’ve actually rented Björk’s swan dress. I know that’s kind of recycling, but I saw An Inconvenient Truth.”
Mose, does indeed, rule. :)
I think Schur is jealous of all the attention Jenna’s interview is getting and wanted to join in on the fun. :D
Mose rules.
You know, I thought John was great this season. I just think it was understated. Jim was very very emotional this season and had a lot going on in his head and heart. I felt so much for the man. John does so well at playing a tortured soul. I’m really hoping that next year he’ll get a little more recognition than just being the character that all girls swoon over.
(Or maybe he’ll just win an Oscar instead)
Jenna and Rainn’s reaction from Eonline:
“I got up early and fixed some waffles and turned on E! for the announcements,” Office star and Comedy Lead Actress nominee Jenna Fischer said. “I didn’t realize that they don’t announce the supporting categories on TV. So, when they finished, I just sat there wondering what to do. About five minutes later, my phone started ringing like crazy.”
Bobblehead inspiration and now Emmy nominee Rainn Wilson, who along with Fischer, Steve Carell and The Office as a whole, spread the love to his fellow unheralded thesps.
“I’m thrilled and honored both for the nomination and to be a member of the best cast on television,” he said.
Rainn is so amazingly funny even in these interviews, I’d really like to see him win. Oh, and I love the cage match reference.
I’m so happy for everyone at the office! I do feel bad for JohnK, but this wasn’t his season, he was so much better in season 2. I think Rainn deserves it more.
I’m glad bearseatbeets brought up not being accepted as Jenna’s myspace friend… I’ve been waiting about 3 weeks also & was wondering if I had been denied.
“Of course, I must ask you the question you’ve surely answered at least 15 times already today: Where were you when you found out?
I was on the surface of the moon, and a carrier pigeon showed up from my publicist’s office.”
LMFAO…Rainn is hilarious
There’s a little mention of Jenna’s nomination over at ew.com’s emmy coverage.
What took you so long? ;)
You know a ton of 14 year old girls?
I know a ton of 14 year old girls who could write a better story than whoever wrote the story in People about Rainn.
A quick Google search led to some tidbits about Rainn’s stay in Toronto. Unfortunately, we missed an open call for extras for the movie’s finale from last week
It’s too bad the movie’s producers didn’t post on OfficeTally. Perhaps they were concerned that the response would be too overwhelming given the number of faithful OT readers!
Thanks for the great work.
Way to go Tanster for getting a shoutout from Jenna.
Shawn Kat - I second that! I can’t believe Rainn is in Toronto!!
Anyways, I’m so happy for both him and Jenna and Steve.. and everyone at the Office!!
What’s up? I’m new to Office Tally but think it’s great so far. So here’s the deal. I’m about to start watching the UK version of “The Office”. I really don’t think anything in this world could be funnier than interaction between Michael and Dwight, but we’ll see haha. Oh, and are there any other guys here that would trade their girlfriend for Pam? haha…or is that just me?
Rainn is hilarious!
“One of the first calls I made, I made to her, and I haven’t heard back from that bitch. But yeah, I’m so excited for her.”
I always forget how frickin funny Rainn is. Coffee almost came out of my nose I was laughing so hard reading that! :)
