Vote for The Office at the Tater Top Awards!

Our good friend Kathie over at GMMR has sounded the alarms (okay, she sent me an email) — it’s time to vote for The Office at E! Online’s annual Tater Top Awards.

The Office is nominated in the following categories:

  • Breakout Star, Male: John Krasinski
  • Breakout Star, Female: Jenna Fischer
  • Best Fight: Dwight (Rainn Wilson) & Michael (Steve Carell) Kung-Fu Fighting
  • Best Kiss: Jim (John Krasinski) & Pam (Jenna Fischer)
  • Best Chemistry: “JAM,” aka Jim (John Krasinski) & Pam (Jenna Fischer)
  • Best Love Triangle: Jim (John Krasinski), Pam (Jenna Fischer) & Roy (David Denman)
  • Biggest Shocker: Jim’s “I love you” to Pam
  • Favorite Funny Guy: Steve Carell (Michael Scott)
  • Favorite Funny Lady: Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly)
  • Best Comedy: The Office

Go vote now!

P.S. While we’re on the subject of voting, there’s a silly little Steel Cage Matchup over at EW, inexplicably pitting the JAM kiss against Susan and Mike’s clinch in Desperate Housewives. If you’re already in voting mode, you might as well add this one to your list.

Network issues

As some of you may have noticed, OfficeTally has been having some network issues in the past few weeks.

The site may act a bit strangely today while it is being moved to a different server.

I apologize for the inconvenience! Thanks for your patience.

I’ll try to post OT network status over at my MySpace page.

Quickie Contest #1

The first person who correctly answers the two questions below wins any Office episode from the iTunes store!

  1. In which episode does the OfficeTally banner image first appear, and from which scene?
  2. What is the “error” in the image?

Sorry, U.S. players only — iTunes store rules. :(

Update: We have our winners, so this contest is now closed!

Carell to get pay raise?

Hollywood Reporter details a potential pay raise for Steve Carell for Season 3 of The Office:

Sources said the per-episode fee for the “Office” star will more than double next season to the neighborhood of $175,000.

That still seems like a paltry sum, if you ask me, especially if he wins an Emmy this year.

The renegotiated terms of Carell’s deal do not include adding years to the actor’s original contract, sources said.

Does anyone know how many years are stipulated in his original contract? I can’t imagine The Office without him!

A reminder that the “Ladies from The Office” Angela Kinsey, Jenna Fischer, and Kate Flannery perform Tuesday night at 9pm at the Improv Comedy Festival’s Celebrity show in Los Angeles.

Tickets are $10 — you can buy them here.

I unfortunately can’t be there, but I hope an OfficeTally reader can provide a report tomorrow!

Update:

  • TWOP members tvguru94 and rspad have posted write-ups of the show — read them here.
  • Find photos of the event here, here, and here.

Thanks to rspad for the tip! And you should have gone up to Angela and talked to her. ;)

Welcome, Madge, to the MySpace fray!

the office madge

I got a very nice email last week from Karly Rothenberg, the actress who plays “Madge” (from the warehouse gang):

“Hi Tanster,

My name is Karly Rothenberg, and I do play “Madge,” the East German looking gal. I have my fingers crossed that good ole Madge will return for more episodes in season three and am grateful that folks like you are spreading the word about my being a small but very happy part of the gang.

I was cast in the Basketball episode, season one, and even got to pick a fight with “Dwight” on the court. I then returned for Sexual Harassment and Boys and Girls and had an absolute blast driving the forklift around the warehouse! I am hopeful that next season I might even get a Dundie. And just between you and me, I think Madge has a crush on Roy! (oops, did I let that slip, shame on me!)

Thanks again for the mention on your website!

All the best,

Karly aka Madge”

Please visit Madge’s MySpace page and say hello!
