My source says this:
We got to watch about three scenes from ‘Gossip’ today … there is a LOT of gossip going around!
July 27: Office insider
Chatted with my source this morning about the Season 6 premiere, ‘Gossip,’ who says: “It’s the last thing people would ever think.”
Hmmm …
July 23: NBC.com
NBC.com has confirmed that the new webisode series is indeed called “Subtle Sexuality.”

July 22: TV Week
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

- Shoot date: Friday, July 24th
- Writers: Nate Federman and Jonathan Hughes

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)
- NBC: The Office (confirmed)
- CBS: CSI (confirmed)
- CW: Supernatural (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.
Tipster: Lindsay
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.

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