Did someone say … babies?!
Watch a slightly different video of the Kristin Office set visit here.
Thanks, rspad!
(And holy crap, are we Office fanatics being whipped into a frenzy by all these Season 3 teasers or WHAT?!)
Programming notes
- First, just another reminder to vote for your favorite Office episode — the fan favorite will air next Thursday, August 17!
- The latest scheduling press release shows an Office Marathon on August 24th — airing Michael’s Birthday, The Secret, and Drug Testing. I would take this with a grain of salt, though, as NBC has been known to schedule multiple episodes, and then yank back all but one come air day. Watch the OT Calendar for the latest updates!
- Lastly, did you miss Steve Carell’s wonderfully long and funny visit with Craig Ferguson last night?
Support David’s cause
In David Denman’s (“Roy”) latest MySpace post, he details his experience training for the Nautica Malibu Triathlon to be held on September 17th.
His goal is to raise $5,000 to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation.
If you would like to contribute (“donate a buck or two”), here is the donation form. Or head on down to Malibu on event day to cheer David on!
E!’s Kristin visits the Office set
Oh man, is this ever hysterical.
The luckiest Office reporter in the world, Kristin Veitch from E! Online, recently visited the set of The Office and met up with Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, and Jenna Fischer. Hijinx ensues. That poor bobblehead!
Watch the video here.
Thanks, GMMR, for the tip!
The Office at WWDC
Apple’s annual Worldwide Developers Conference, WWDC, kicked off this morning with a keynote address led by Steve Jobs (pictured here), and he used a slide of The Office in his presentation!
Further proof that Apple loves The Office. And vice versa.

Thanks to John D’Arc for the tip, and to Peter Rojas at Engadget for allowing me to post this photo!

Golden Globe winner Steve Carell and the cast of NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated “The Office” (Thursdays, 8:30-9 p.m. ET) will appear in character as the Dunder-Mifflin worker bees quit pushing pencils long enough to help showcase the network’s new series for Fall 2006-07 in “NBC Primetime Preview” – a 30-minute program that features original comedy from the series’ creative team beginning August 12 through September 17.
It will … be broadcast on the NBC Network on Saturday, September 2 (8-8:30 p.m. ET).
