The Office wins Best Comedy Emmy!

OMG — The Office has just won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series!

It is the oddest thing reporting on something that I haven’t actually seen myself — Wendy (who gets the live East Coast feed) was giving me the play-by-play via chat. Thanks Wendy!

Wow. After the whole Best Actor debacle, I wasn’t sure if The Office would pull it out for the big one.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE ENTIRE CAST AND STAFF!!!

   Have you guys seen this (on the USAtoday site)? They show a photo of steve, bj, jenna, john and rainn with their emmys and it says:

   When ‘The Office won for best comedy, Rainn Wilson (Dwight) ran up to co-stars John Krasinski (Jim) and Jenna Fischer (Pam) and gave them each a kiss on the lips.

   HAHHAHA. Ahh is that for real? That’s amazing. How did i miss that!?

   Crystal – I hope they get some part of that Emmy!! They so deserve it and should have won best script writing too.

   So if it’s the producers that get the actual Emmys, does that mean that Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are getting some gold as well?

   I’m with Elisabeth – we watch Monk whenever we catch it, and Tony Shaloub really is great in it.

   Also, for those who don’t know, Mr. Monk’s dead wife is played by Melora Hardin (Jan). So… catch-22.

   Actually, Melissa, I think Jenna said in one of her blogs that only the producers get an actual Emmy when the show wins.

   So this is stating the obvious but…if you win “Best Show” the principal actors get Emmys but who else? The producers? And I’ve always wondered this-is there a clause in the “standard showbiz contract” if you as an actor or the show you are on wins a major award, you get a bonus?

   Aside from that, I was SHOCKED Steve lost Best Actor. But they made up for it in the end when the show won.

   I was so happy about the program winning Best Comedy, last night I dreamed I was sitting in on a story meeting. I wanted to get Jenna to take a photo of John and I but my camera was out of film (of course).

   The post-show interview is up on The Vine at E! Online.

    I ditto everything everyone has said so far. Steve was robbed. Office won! Yay! No, AD did not win anything (Arnett should have won over Piven, but that’s my two cents). And i still think Schur should have won over Garcia for writing the Christmas Party ep. But, overall, Conan’s reaction said it all: The Office deserved it!

    And yes, that opening w/ Conan falling through the ceiling and his talking head = priceless!

    Question. Do you think those post-Emmy interviews from the E! will be posted on youtube? Please, let me know!

    YEAH YEAH!!! *DOES A VICTORY DANCE* *SCREAMS* “IN YO FACE!”
    Okay that victory dance throughout the house screaming and yelling was very tiring and scary to the rest of my family. =D

    corporalgeo, that’s Kevin Reilly, head of NBC Programming. He was the corporate suit who pushed to bring The Office back after its first season.

    Are there videos up yet? I’m looking for Conan’s entire monologue and The Office winning. Thanks Denise for the others! I looked on Youtube and nothing yet!

    Hey, if you look reeeealy close at some of the ones where they’re celebrating, you can see David Denman in back, and he has (as he was told to grow) a beard. :)

    74. corporalgeo  Sun. Aug. 27, 2006 | 10:45pm

    So my memory from watching the broadcast is that the bearded guy with eyeglasses is Greg Daniels. But, who is the guy with rimless eyeglasses (no beard), who’s being held aloft in some of the Emmys photos? The NBC president? Just wasn’t sure.

    Thank you so much for the pictures! What great quality, everyone looks so beautiful and happy! :)

    In that case, I redact my statement. :-)

    Plain White Jim – Dink’n Flicka a la Steve Carrell not winning…which in my mind is c’est la vie (or better yet, wait until he wins next year).

    70. Plain White Jim  Sun. Aug. 27, 2006 | 10:29pm

    Actually I don’t think “dinkin’ flicka” is quite appropriate for this thread; moreso the previous one about The Office not having won anything yet. In the context of the scene in which it was used, dinkin’ flicka is shown to be a saying along the lines of “C’est la vie”

    Just a nitpick. :-)
