The January 21, 2010 clip episode is called ‘The Banker’:
MICHAEL TRIES TO IMPRESS A POTENTIAL BUYER-When a potential buyer comes to Dunder Mifflin, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), Andy (Ed Helms) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) pull out all the stops in hopes of impressing him with their high profile contacts.

Tipsters: Nina-San, ChristmasGoose
December 21: Watch With Kristin
Mike in Cincinnati: Why do I have to wait until February for more of The Office? What can you tell me right this second?
Dwight and Ryan are going full speed ahead with their plans to destroy the unstoppable Jim Halpert. We just caught up with B.J. Novak at the Inglourious Basterds DVD launch, and he tells us their plotting “will go exactly how you would expect a Dwight-Ryan alliance to go, and I won’t say any more.” Hmmm, so straight to the beet farm? We’re guessing this won’t be a very successful venture for Dwight and the temp.
December 10: TV Guide
From an interview with Jenna Fischer:
What can you reveal about what’s coming up on The Office?
I know there’s going to be some pretty big changes at Dunder Mifflin, because the company is going under basically. We’re strained financially and so there is going to be a pretty big [event] and that is going to culminate in the new year –- and Pam’s going to have her baby. We don’t know what it is, but I believe that will be a two-part episode -– I believe that’s what they’re planning.Is this big event at Dunder Mifflin going to be a real game-changer for the show’s established set-up?
I do think that it’s going to cause some shifts at corporate. So there’s going to be a lot of sort of job changes and it is going to shake up the structure of our current hierarchy.Any guest actors coming on the show soon?
Not that I’m aware of, no. Some of the shakeup with the company might bring some guest actors in, but I haven’t heard anything more yet.
December 9: OfficeTally
The next three episodes of The Office will air on January 21 (clip show), February 4, and February 11.
December 9: Watch With Kristin
“Pam was supposed to be due in February, but now the baby won’t come until March because of the Olympics,” Jenna [Fischer] told me at last night’s In Style/Hollywood Foreign Press party in Hollywood …
The Winter Olympics are airing Feb. 12-28 on NBC … we’ll get new Office episodes before the Olympics, on Feb. 4 and 11.
December 4: LA Times interview with Steve Carell and Paul Rudd
“They’ve already determined that the baby is not going to be an enormous part of the series,” Carell said. “I don’t think they’re planning on making it ‘The Office Baby’ show. I think they’ll have the baby and everyone will be extremely happy. But I think they want to keep it focused on the workplace and not get it too domesticated. I don’t even know if those episodes are written.”


This interview with Ellie has a bit of “kind of spoilerish” stuff about the finale – not much though.

Tanster, do you think maybe NBC’s excitement glands are all dried up after the promotion of the Delivery./Niagara? …..because we got nothing. I would have italicized that if I could….
:(
Tanster, from what you saw, did you like the finale?
[from tanster: yeah, there's some good stuff in tonight's episode. jenna/kathy did this amazing improv during one scene that i hope makes it in!]
This is the weirdest-feeling season finale ever. Where is the anticipation and buildup? Where is the promotion? Nobody anywhere is talking about The Office.
[from tanster: i know, right? not watch with kristin, not ausiello, nobody. :( ]
I have some concern about tomorrow’s episode. No spoilers, no real promotion. Does not feel like a finale. I have a guess that maybe Pam or Jim is the leak, since they don’t seem involved in story plot at moment.
[from tanster: i agree that it is totally weird that NBC hasn't been promoting the finale at all.]
I really hope Holly comes back! She took some getting used to at first, but her and Michael are just perfect…
I really, really, really, hope that “true love for Michael” indicates some Amy Ryan/Holly Flax coming back….
I know Amy isn’t scheduled to come back this season at all, but maybe the episode will end with Michael calling her or something? Cliffhanger, I think yes? :)
That promo might have given us nothing, but Tanster can…she was there! Three days! Time for some hints!
My final guess for the 3 Tanster met is Marcus York, Kathy Bates, and Zach Woods.
Andy playing a big part in the finale? What a surprise.
After further thought, I think Jenna’s comment about a return to real love for Michael may be referring to him reaching out to Holly in the finale, even if we don’t necessarily see her.
Okay, I need a Jan fix, stat. Come home Jan Levenson, and please have your head screwed on straight!
I think this will be the first finale without a Jim/Pam plot….. Are we at least going to see them with Cecelia?
I can only wish for Melora Hardin in the finale, although it could be argued she has really a love/hate with Michael. Amy Ryan would be great too. Thought last season finale was a real letdown.
It is agonizing waiting!
Yes-I agree with needing something spoilery. Please Tanster:)
Well, I think there’s at least two surprises in store for the last couple episodes, that will answer these questions:
1. Why is Michael okay with being Donna’s mistress? Probably means someone from his romantic past is back (and no it’s not Holly).
2. Who is the whistleblower, and what happens to both that person and Sabre after it’s found out.
Oh, and I came up with another guess for the a/r name game: Nancy Carell! If we’re being thorough, we might as well include Carol. Also, maybe tanster just met her on the set ’cause she was visiting Steve with the kids, and it had nothing to do with the episode!
[from tanster: the person i met does have something to do with an episode. :) ]
It seems so quiet over here in Spoilers for this season’s finale. I wonder if they’ve managed to keep any big spoilers tightly under wraps this year? Or maybe there isn’t a big “WOW” moment this year to have to keep top secret? Either way, I can’t wait for the next two episodes! Tanster, when will you be providing us with your on-set visit report? Sorry, I just can’t wait!
Since you saw the last two being filmed Tanster, can you start sharing some spoilers or more hints?
Looks like the printer arc starts with The Cover-Up. The clip that Mindy showed on The Tonight Show, featured Andy asking Kelly about customer complaints regarding faulty printers.
