‘The Office’ at Comic-Con 2008

Friday, July 25th, 2008 | 82 comments

A reminder of Saturday’s Comic-Con San Diego events:

Saturday, July 26th, 12:45-1:45
Exclusive Q&A with the writers of The Office
The writers of the Emmy award–winning comedy The Office talk about their favorite episodes, characters, and fun behind-the-scenes stories. Panelists: executive producer/showrunner Greg Daniels and writers Jennifer Celotta, Michael Schur, B.J. Novak, Lester Lewis, Gene Stupnitsky, Lee Eisenberg, Mindy Kaling, Justin Spitzer, Ryan Koh, and Anthony Ferrell. Moderator: Rainn Wilson.

If this is anything like the writers panel from The Office Convention in Scranton last fall, I bet they’ll show some entertaining video clips as well …

Can’t be there in person? No worries, this panel will be recorded and available at NBC.com!

Special merchandise: the NBC Universal Store will be setting up shop to sell a limited edition BBBG bobblehead and matching t-shirt! Visit NBCU’s booth at #3919.

Dwight Schrute bobblehead giveaway: NBCU Digital Distribution and MobiTV will offer Comic-Con attendees the chance to win 25 limited edition Dwight Schrute bobbleheads. Street teams dressed like NBC Pages will distribute posters on both Friday and Saturday during the convention with details on how to enter.

Rainn Wilson appearance: while not a Comic-Con event, a reminder that Rainn Wilson will appear at a Q&A session after a screening of ‘The Rocker’ on Saturday night. More details

Lastly: Matt Collins (OTCR moderator) and I will be at the writers panel. If you see us, please come by and say hello! (Matt’s the tall one who likes to dance.)

   From my San Diego hotel room: What’s up OT!? I’m super-excited to be here and for “The Office” panel tomorrow.

   Now that I’m here, I just want to meet Tallyheads – where are you all? Let’s do drinks.

   Stay classy OfficeTally.

   Doug: Comic Con isn’t just about comics, but rather everything having to do with multimedia entertainment and its fandom. How is a geek different from an Office geek?

   I sooo can’t wait for this panel. Hopefully I’ll be out of the Heroes panel in time to wait for The Office one. See ya there.

   Have a fabulous time, Tanster and Matt! I saw some footage shot at Comic-Con yesterday. It looks like a madhouse. So Matt, make sure you protect our tiny little Tanster. We’re counting on you! :)

   Thanks for the news about NBC.com posting the writers’ panel. That helps to ease my jealousy. :)

   Travel safely and have fun!

   [from tanster: awww, thanks MN! :) ]

   I am also wondering if there are any planned Tallyhead meet-ups. Unfortunately, both Chilis and Benihana are well away from downtown SD. Any ideas?

    I remember checking OfficeTally a while back and seeing a post about Rainn and the writers at Comic-Con this year, so I marked it down on my calendar. So I was looking at my calendar and realized- “Hey! Comic-Con is this weekend, and Rainn and the writers are going to be there!” haha. So I immediately went to the Comic-Con website, but I could not find anything about them being there. Maybe I’m just looking in all the wrong places, but could anyone tell me where they’re going to be, and like all that information? Thanks (:

    I haven’t been keeping up with The Office news so I’m grateful to Tori Weber for telling me about the Comic-Con event. My husband and I will be at Comic-Con Wednesday through Sunday, our longest stay ever.

    Oh that’s going to be really good. I can’t believe I’m saying this but I want to go. With Rainn hosting the panel, it should be really hilarious!

    I bought the shirt. Is that weird, considering I’m unable to go to Comic-Con?? Ah well. I will be there in spirit.
