I am very pleased to announce that Lauren wins the Battle for the Bobblehead!

Lauren’s winning entry (#25):

Who has two plastic thumbs and loves OfficeTally? This guy!

Short, sweet, and includes a show quote and a plug for OfficeTally. Can’t get much better than that. :)

Congratulations, Lauren! You will receive The Office Prize Pack (courtesy of NBC), consisting of a Dwight Schrute Bobblehead and an Employee of the Month t-shirt. I will send you an email with more details, so watch your inbox!

I enjoyed reading each and every entry, and here are a few others that cracked me up …

Ricky Gervais talks about The Office

Entertainment Weekly speaks to Ricky Gervais about some of his current projects. Ricky also talks a little bit about the The Office:

Are you pleased with the way the American version of The Office has evolved into its own show?

It’s my favorite sitcom. You try to make shows that you want to watch. I did with The Office, I’m doing it now with Extras. It’s the show you wish someone else had made, but I had to make it. With the American Office, it’s the best of both worlds because someone else made it, and it’s just how I wanted it. So it’s a joy.

Thanks to Matthew for sending this in!

The Friday Tally

  • Blogs updated this week: Jenna’s MySpace blog, Kevin’s MySpace blog, Brian’s TVGuide.com blog.
  • Didja notice all the updated cast photos over at the NBC Office site — check out the employee badges of Jim, Pam, Dwight, Michael, and Ryan in the banner, and also the pix in the Bios section.
  • Quite a few of you asked about the song used in the Season 3 promo video featuring Jim and Pam. The song is called “Stars,” performed by Lamar (according to this post at the NBC Office Boards). NBC has now posted the song; listen to “Stars” here.
  • For you John Krasinski fans, check out an incredible collection of unpublished photos from the Improper Bostonian shoot John did last December. VERY VERY NICE. (See the original photo and article over at GMMR.)
  • Lastly, a reminder that the deadline to get in your final iPod Giveaway entry, Scrantonicity Request Line, is tomorrow night, August 19th at 11:59pm PT. Get ‘er done!

TV Guide videos

TVGuide.com just recently posted these videos, even though I think they were filmed months ago in New York during the upfronts (I recognize the blouse that Angela is wearing).

It’s a bit annoying that you can’t always hear the interviewer’s questions.

Jenna and Angela are fun and bubbly as usual. And it’s lovely to see B.J. and Mindy make an appearance together!

P.S. The videos may not play right away; give them time to stream.

Happy Birthday, Steve Carell!

steve carell

To celebrate Mr. Carell’s birthday today, check out one of my favorite video clips of Steve from the OfficeTally Video Archive:

Almost exactly one year ago, Steve returned to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, and the visit was hilarious — the awkward long silence at the beginning of the appearance alone was worth the price of admission. Just brilliant.

Watch the video here. And Happy Birthday, Steve!
