Jen Celotta Schrute
My favorite cameo from The Office finale episode, hands down, was Jennifer Celotta.
Jennifer is a long-time OfficeTally favorite, having been a producer and writer during the earlier seasons of the show.
She has kidded with us over the years that her dream was to appear as a member of the Schrute family.
She finally got her wish last night! :)

The Office: Finale photos
Matthew Hirschfeld draws “The Office”
From Variety:
“Matthew Hirschfeld has created several original lithographs for Variety and NBCUniversal as a marketing tool for the 2013 Emmy campaign. The lithographs are an homage to the late New York Times caricaturist, and distant relative, Al Hirschfeld, whose legacy as an American caricaturist of Broadway stars and other celebrities is world renown.”
The Office made cringeworthy cool
The New York Times has an amazing article detailing The Office’s early days when it was still trying to find an audience, Executive Producer’s Greg Daniels original idea for the finale (back in Season 3!), and how the show paved the way for cringeworthiness.
As the anchor of NBC’s once-heralded Thursday-night lineup, it played a role in pioneering alternative entertainment forms like TV offerings on iTunes and Webisodes on the Internet. It helped executives recognize the value of delayed viewing. Equally important, it opened broadcast television to a new concept in humor: the sitcom that makes you uncomfortable.
(A warning that there are spoilerish details at the beginning of the article.)
John Krasinski’s post-Office plans
John will lend his voice to the animated film Monsters University, which is a prequel to Disney’s huge hit Monsters, Inc..
He’s also set to guest star on Netflix’s new season of Arrested Development.
Greg Daniels/John Krasinski press call
Today The Office’s Executive Producer Greg Daniels and John Krasinski got on the phone with the press to talk about the end of the show.
Here are my rough notes. The full transcript starts here. It’s funny, poignant, phenomenal. Greg and John killed!
