Jenna’s Season 4 tease
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007SPOILER WARNING! Video and subsequent comments will contain spoilers.
This video interview is primarily about Jenna’s upcoming movie, Blades of Glory, but what got me really excited was Jenna’s mention of The Office season 3 finale! She even talks a teeny little bit about Season 4! (Nothing too spoilerish is mentioned, but the expression on Jenna’s face speaks volumes.)
The Office stuff comes around two minutes into the clip.
Oh boy oh boy oh boy. New episodes can’t come soon enough.

So excited for Jenna!!! She’s going to do so well in all of her new movies! I am so happy for new episodes and everything else coming up!
42 | Jen Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 2:48pmYou guys have to understand that those interviewers are only given a very short amount of time. So, the interviewer was smart to not “waste” his time reacting to Jenna’s comments and instead asked as many questions as possible. These interview are often cut up into soundbites / one question answers.
So, it seems clear to me that by next season that Jim and Pam will be together. And, yes, it will kill the “will they or won’t they” but maybe it will give birth to a new dynamic! I have far greater faith in the writers of The Office than the writers of Moonlighting had, for example (and some stars that are … more humble).
I really hope we don’t leave it on a cliffhanger (even thought it would bookend with last season). End with them kissing and declaring undying love. THAT would tide us over through the summer (from the JAM storyline anyway).
Blades of Glory is going to be really funny!
41 | Kevin Crossman Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 12:17pmI know right? Jenna tells a really funny story about Will Arnet passing her notes about her ticking time bags and the interviewer totally blows it with his “that funny…..” answer leading to a awkward look on Jenna’s face
40 | HamburgerHalpert Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 11:47amWOW! - that interviewer was horrible
39 | Corporate Booty Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 11:41amAs much as I absolutely love the JAM storyline, there are sooo many other storylines (Pranks, Phyllis and Bob Vance, and Dwangela to name a few) that contribute to making The Office our favorite show. I think if the writers finally put Jim and Pam together (yippee!!!) it would not at all take away from everything else that makes the show great. Getting two characters together does not mean the end of a show, and I think we should put faith in the abilities of the writers and everyone else involved to continue to make a great show (maybe even better if that’s possible!)
As a P.S., worse interviewer ever! Way to go Jenna for being able to deflect the awkwardness.
38 | Sarah Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 11:08amJenna is great. I agree, that interviewer was horrible. Reminded me of Chris Farley’s Chris Farley show on SNL, but at least he was horrible on purpose.
Of COURSE Jim and Pam are going to get together. It’s just a question of when. The writers are going to want to milk it for as long as possible. I think they’re creative enough and have a unique enough show that they could get them together and still retain their viewers, but I don’t know if they’ll have the guts to just get them together. Frankly I’m just about fed up with JAM.
37 | Toby from HR Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 10:55amCousin Mose (#26),
I thought the same exact thing. What a dead fish that guy was.
Oh, and my comment on Jenna’s smile: one word–JAM!!!!
36 | Dying Star Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 9:54amThanks for this link! Ididn’t see this anywhere else on my frequent Office sites! Great info - enuogh to keep me going until April 5th! :)
35 | Jenny Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 9:21amAs mentioned earlier, Jenna gets excited about good scripts and storylines, and the show being good. She’s not like most of the fans on the internet, who get the most excited about JAM. So what she’s excited about here is the show being good. Hopefully that gives us some great JAM stuff, but don’t everybody jump to conclusions and just assume it does. The real good revealation here is that Pam continues to speak her mind. Only good things can come of that.
Oh and there are plenty of ways they can draw JAM out further:
Karen gets pregnant (that would suuuuuuuck)
Jaren breaks up and Karen turns into a psycho, scaring away JAM from happening for a little while, or making it secret
Poby
Pam finding another guy in the next 6 episodes
Roy killing Jim for real (okay, least likely)
Jim goes gay for Dwight (slightly more likely than Jim being killed)
A supervillian (probably Andy) keeps them apart through trickery
New Dunder Mifflin policy prevents office relationships (or NEW office relationships, saving Michael/Jan), forcing JAM apart for a little while, until they get together secretly
Some of those could produce interesting storylines that would make Jenna smile.
P.S. - Jenna is hot.
34 | PamsTeapot Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 8:49amMy university offered a free advance screening of Blades of Glory last night and I was fortunate enough to see it. As wonderful as Jenna is, the funniest scene in the movie is the first time Will Ferrell and Jon Heder compete together at Nationals. The whole audience could not stop laughing!
Anyway, I hope my comment isn’t too spoilerish and that I’ve further whetted your appetites for this movie!
33 | JW Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 8:35amHey i dont know if its posted anywhere else but rainn wilson is on the ellen show today!
32 | Laura Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 8:24amAwww….Jenna is all kinds of cute and adorable and bubbly in that interview.
And I’m sure Jenna was smiling when talking about “The Office” because Pam is going to win more art contests in the future ;)
31 | _bales Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 8:15amHelp! I couldn’t get any audio, what was exactly was mentioned?!?! I think I know, but I want to be sure :-)
30 | JAM fan! Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 8:03amWow, that interview tends to give me a little hope because I will be so much happier when this JAM misery ends, but, frankly, it only gives me cautious hope. I was full of optimism when I read her myspace blog before February and February was quite disappointing from a JAM perspective - not at all what I thought it would have been based on what she wrote. Jenna is great and she is great at promoting the show, but I’ll believe Jim and Pam are together when I see it.
Here’s what her January blog said:
29 | Janet Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 7:47am“In officeland…our newest scripts are SO GOOD that I actually yelped during our latest script reading. When I heard the plot of our next script I gasped! I wish I could say more. I think you will be very pleased. There are lots of cringy, wonderful, funny moments. And some very touching ones as well.”
The will-they-or-won’t-they tension between Jim and Pam has been going on for 3 seasons. Yes, its a major part of their dynamic and the show, but the audience can only take so much stalling and road blocks before they simply just don’t care anymore.
I don’t know what other realistic obstacles they can throw between them that people would buy, only to hold up the notion that the show will fail if they get together.
I have more faith in the writers than that. I think they can have them together, give the audience what they want, and still have a successful show on their hands.
28 | Dorky Dancer Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 7:17amwow, her smile and look to the camera just cured my hangover…
27 | henry Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 7:13amJenna is a great interviewee, but that had to has have been the WORST interviewer I’ve ever heard! Yes, you go into these sorts of things with pre-written questions, because you only have five minutes or whatever, but come on! She tells this hilarious story about Will Arnett writing funny notes to her, and she’s cracking up, and all this idiot interviewer can say is:
“That’s funny.”
Before plowing ahead with his next pre-written question.
Come on, man…. were you listening to Jenna’s story? You have no frame of reference here. You’re like a child who wanders into the middle of an interview…
26 | Cousin Mose Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 6:58amJust keep in mind everyone … If Jim and Pam were to hook up on the show, it would kill the constant source of will-they-won’t-they tension. So, are you sure you want that to happen anytime soon?
25 | Samuel L. Chang Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 6:56am13 days and counting until the new episode………
24 | FutureMrsHalpert Fri. Mar. 23, 2007 at 6:25amJenna is adorable - I am able to admit I have a total girlcrush. When she smiled that HUGE smile while talking about season 4, I screamed “YAY!”… it seems my Office addiction may get me fired…oh well, more time to watch the show :-)
That made my day. I agree that the look on her face says it all. I. CAN’T. EFFIN. WAIT.
Is it April 5th yet?
