Chatted with my source this morning about the Season 6 premiere, ‘Gossip,’ who says: “It’s the last thing people would ever think.”
Hmmm …

Re: the new Office webisode series airing on NBC.com in the fall:
[Mindy] Kaling’s immediate future also involves a move into directing. The Dartmouth alum is helming (and appearing in) the next batch of “Office” webisodes, which revolve around a female rock band called Subtle Sexuality.
Tipster: Emily
Re: The Office Season 6:
“The idea of leaving ‘The Office’ is totally terrifying to me,” she says. “Part of me is getting excited about a different format… but I love working at ‘The Office’.”
One possible solution to her fears could be teaming up with “Office” executive producer Greg Daniels again, though no talks about such a scenario have taken place. For now, the two are teaming up to write a key, hour-long episode of next season’s “Office.”

On Monday, The Office’s Mindy Kaling tweeted:
Spent the day goosing around and shaking ass in dance rehearsal with Ellie Kemper. America wanted more dancing on “The Office”, right?
Could it be “Cafe Disco – The Sequel”?
Here’s what I’ve confirmed with NBC.com:
- Title: TBA

July 17: TV Guide
While celebrating The Office’s Emmy nomination for Best Comedy, executive producer Greg Daniels gave TV Guide Magazine some hints about the show’s new season …
“There’s going to be a staffing change for Jim at work,” reports Daniels. “And with Pam pregnant, expect some life moves in that area.”

June 15: Watch With Kristin
Maureen in Sunnyvale, Calif.: I miss The Office! Are we ever going to see Jan again?
Yes, ma’am. The lovely Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin) will be back on The Office next season, but only part time. At the premiere of her indie flick, You, Melora spilled on what to expect from Jan’s triumphant return to The Office: “I’ll be back as a special guest star next year for a couple of episodes. They can’t lose Jan, we all love Jan. She will probably be sprinkled in throughout the season.” Teased Melora, “It will be hilarious to see her as a mother, and we need to find out who the father of Astrid is.” Kevin! Please let the baby daddy be Kevin.
May 28: TV Squad interviews Amy Ryan
Is Amy Ryan returning to The Office?
“They keep that (the plans for Holly) under wraps, if they are indeed thinking of it. There’s no plan there.” When I asked her if she was under contract for any episodes next season, she said she wasn’t.
May 22: Q&A with Jen Celotta
Q. Do you already have the next season mapped out, however tentatively? For example, do you know if the new season will pick up right after the company picnic, or if it will jump ahead a few months? | pamalamadingdong
Jen C: We’re still mapping out what will happen next year — we started work a few days after season 5 ended — but I can tell you — (SPOILER ALERT) – that there will be a wedding for Pam and Jim. Where, when, and any kind of specifics beyond that, I don’t know yet.
Q. Is Erin coming back for Season 6? She is a really nice character to have on the show. | Veronica
Jen C: Erin is coming back and we like her a lot, too. She is a fun addition and we think it’s fun to see someone who truly enjoys being there.
May 21: Upfronts announcements
Here’s the confirmed list of Thursday 9pm shows for the coming season:
- FOX: Fringe (confirmed)
- ABC: Grey’s Anatomy (confirmed)

Apr. 29: Ask Ausiello
Question: Please, please, please have some good scoop for The Office. I feel like it has been forever since we have learned something new. — Matt
Ausiello: Here’s what you already know: Everyone (including Amy Ryan’s Holly) gathers together for Dunder Mifflin’s annual company picnic. Here’s what you don’t know: The episode ends with a doozy of a twist, the repercussions of which will be felt well into next season.
Tipster: Mary
Apr. 27, 2009: TV Guide
On the show’s 100th episode, Dunder Mifflin sponsors an “eventful” company picnic, at which guest stars (and Wire vets) Amy Ryan and Idris Elba will no doubt charm and torture Michael Scott, respectively. What’s that? You were hoping to see Jim and Pam’s nuptials by the end of the season? Well, pick up the shattered pieces of your life and move on, because it ain’t going to happen. We’re hearing that the honour of our presence will instead be requested for a fall wedding.

Apr. 24, 2009: The Ausiello Files
Revolving Office door: Jan’s back!
The Office’s Melora Hardin, who’s been largely MIA this season as Michael’s ex Jan, will reappear next fall. ”We’re [talking] about what we are going to do with her,” says the actress, who was just cast in FX’s boxing-themed pilot Lights Out. ”[But] they assure me they need me next season.”
Apr. 24, 2009: Set visit
The Office writers will start breaking Season 6 stories the week of April 27th, according to various people I talked to while I was visiting the set on April 13-17.

Was that Jenna Fischer’s real life fiance as the lactation consultant?!
[from tanster: ding ding ding ding! that's it! :) ]
So, if we are really dense (which I am speaking of myself) or if we’ve had a really long day (which I am also speaking of myself) and we miss what’s in the hospital, will you fill us in?? Because I’m gonna miss it; law of averages in my case. :)
[from tanster: of course, i will absolutely reveal what it is once the episode airs! but i know that some of you guys will instantly know what i'm talking about and will post a comment before i do. :) ]
So remember in one of season 5’s episode, Pam reads Holly’s document that Michael stole from her computer? And Pam tells Michael that she can’t tell him what’s in it, but it’s not over.? SO.. is anything going to happen with Holly? Or is she done?
Andy-Ellie?
I thought JKras was robbed last year…he was amazing in those final moments of “Company Picnic.” So, totally in agreement with Kristen that a nomination is long overdue.
Thanks Tanster! Can you tell us if there are any great emotional moments to go with the comedy?
Fellow Tallyheads, did my eyes decieve me or did we just get promised some Dwangela?!
Keeping my fingers, toes, and eyes crossed that JKras finally gets his long overdue Emmy nod with the birth episode. Can’t wait for Thursday!
Did anyone notice she used Ellie instead of Erin?
I am soo glad Craig Robinson is in the St. Patrick’s Day and New Leads episodes!! We haven’t seen much of Darryl since season 5; in which he was simply fantastic!
Did I just read what I just think I read? DWIGHT AND ANGELA?! Dwangela in Thursday’s ep?! YES
Are you going to give us a spoiler per day to tide us over, Tanster? Can you tell us anything? Pretty please.
[from tanster: i will check with the producers tonight.]
I’m not a shipper. I don’t like relationships for the most part on the show.
Dwight and Angela are an exception.
I just want the show to get back into it’s roots, pranks, salesman Jim, Angela and Dwight, ect..
Could you be any luckier, Tanster? The rest of us are going to die in anticipation! I hope you enjoyed them both…3 more days!
Tanster, I’m so jealous! :)
Was it as sweet as the pregnancy reveal last season? (I knew it was coming and it still managed to make me smile a mile wide and tear up at the same time)
Oh I can’t wait for Thursday
I quite agree Joey.
I am finding the focus on the same characters (with Erin being so new and all) to be ruining my enjoyment, because I love the Office when all of these superb actors are getting an equal share of screentime.
This is the first summary that doesn’t feature Ed and Ellie since “Shareholder Meeting”. Hopefully their streak is gone for good.
@Matt: I agree, I found Ed and Ellie’s absence to be a little surprising. Plus, the plot synopsis seems a bit short to me…could it be that something has been left out of the synopsis, so as not to spoil anything?
@Alison
There are 25 episodes scheduled, but I’m not sure if that’s counting the hour longs as one or two.
I find it a bit strange that they’re listing Zach Woods under THE HONKEYS (which I can find almost no information on), rather than IN THE LOOP (which is up for best adapted screenplay at the Oscars).
No Ed Helms or Ellie Kemper in latest synopsis. Interesting.
