Poll: Who IS that?

Thursday, March 20th, 2008 | 105 comments

SPOILER WARNING! Photo and comments posted here may contain spoilers.

I’ve noticed one hot topic of conversation about the ‘Dinner Party’ photos, and thought it deserved a poll of its own.

The Office Dinner Party


There seems to be a lot of speculation over who this woman is, pictured on the left. I’ve collected all Tallyhead suggestions into this poll:
P.S. Do I know the answer? — absolutely I do. :)

    Tanster – when are you going to give us the answer?


  2. 104. rachdm  

    Yet another vote for Beth Grant, but I recognized her as Mary Ann Marie Beetle from Wonderfalls. And it would be awesome if she played Michael’s mother because she was in Little Miss Sunshine with Steve Carell.


  3. 103. schlottermann  

    maybe it’s nobody. Look at “the office” history. There always seems to be some stranger lurking in the crowds. They never explain these people.


  4. 102. DunderMifflinDee  

    If that lady is Michael’s mom, do you think the infamous Jeff is going to be there? Maybe Michael’s Dundie is broken because he throws it at Jeff, or Jeff knocks it off of its shelf? :p

    For all of those debating the whole “librarian” thing–I don’t believe this is Tanster’s way of throwing us off the scent. Look at comment #76 (Stefanie) in the Dinner Party photos post. Tanster just listed all the possibilities that had already been thrown out there by us Tallyheads.

    [from tanster: absolutely correct; i just took every suggestion tallyheads posted up to that point and threw them in a poll. :) ]

    The last episode that mentioned Jan’s therapist was written by Lee & Gene…


  7. 99. Big Tuna  

    Maybe the answer is actually ’someone else’. If you think about it, knowing who that lasy is can be a HUGE spoiler. So maybe the whole ‘librarian’ thing was just Tanster’s clever way of throwing us off? Who knows? I think it’d be funny if it was Michael’s mom, but even FUNNIER if it was Jan’s therapist! :D Can you imagine that?

    You have a point GiGi, but the only thing that keeps me from completely believing it is that Dwight isn’t near the lady in question. And he looks really disinterested.

    However, he might have met her, brought her with him as a date, but when he saw that Andy and Angela both went to the dinner party as well, he became disinterested and upset, as the photo shows. Too many options!


  9. 97. GiGi  

    Maybe Dwight is dating Michael’s mom? Just throwing that out there. Judging by how he has described her, his mom sounds a bit self centered and possibly open to dating anyone.


  10. 96. seconDrink  

    whoever it is, they just asked jim one of those awkwards, hilarious, obnoxious questions the office is famlous for. and jim gave on of his famous reactions.


  11. 95. heyitstanyak  

    It can’t be Jan, because she is wearing a bright red shirt at the dinner party. Karen is also out, because she would never wear her hair like that, and that doesn’t look like her face profile.

    I REALLY hope it’s Michael’s mom…the fun and hilarious looks that will ensue!


  12. 94. Daniel  

    Maybe it is Michael’s mom who happens to be a librarian that Dwight is dating. or maybe its David Wallace’s wife.


  13. 93. betterthannot  

    I feel like Michael’s mom or Dwight’s date would both cause Jim to have that look on his face.


  14. 92. Daryl  

    I agree with Mose’s Awesome Beard. It’s that Beth Grant lady, I don’t know who she’s playing though.


  15. 91. Meg  

    I think the plastic containers are Michael’s serving dishes. Sweet!


  16. 90. Anna  

    I vaguely remember reading about how Dwight was going to date a librarian…I don’t remember where though. I might be crazy. But that’s who I think the lady is.


  17. 89. Callan  

    I don’t think it’s Dwight’s date since she isn’t sitting next to him; Dwight is on the left of Pam. I also don’t think it’s the lawyer from The Deposition, since that lawyer represented Dunder-Mifflin, not Michael & Jan.


  18. 88. Will  

    If it is a librarian then why is she seated away from Dwight? If Dwight was trying to make Angela jealous wouldn’t he be sitting next to her? In the other Dinner Party pic Michael is seated at the other end of the table so it would make since for Michael to sit across from his mother. (with Dwight finding his way into a corner)


  19. 87. Charlie  

    The answer is obviously “a librarian.” Why else would such a weird choice be an option, unless it was the correct one?


  20. 86. The Scribbler  

    I’m going with Michael’s mom — it would make things awesomely awkward (IMO) for a post-Deposition Jan & Michael. I could also be awesomely wrong. ;-)
