Jenna on ‘Jay Leno’

Jenna Fischer appeared on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight.

She talked about her dad’s quest for a Cobalt boat, switching nightstands with her husband, and the terrors of walking the red carpet.

Funniest line: “Jay’s not Oprah — he’s not about making people’s dreams come true!” Hilarious.

Is Karen Fated to Lose Jim?

TVGuide.com interviews Rashida Jones about her TVG “Sexy” shoot, her surprise appearance on SNL, and of course, her role as Karen:

NBC.com has outtakes from The Office’s “Business School” episode, where Karen ponders tearing down Pam’s art-show notice. It’s got some Jim-Pam fans calling you not-so-nice names.

[The writers] are very good about keeping it a fair, light competition, so I talked about that scene a little bit with Joss Whedon, who directed that episode, because I was hesitant about that moment. He was like, “Look, you just got all this new information and you have an impulsive moment, but you don’t do it.”

A.V. Club interviews Mindy Kaling

A.V. Club talks to Mindy Kaling about Ben Affleck, SNL, and writing for The Office:

AVC: As a writer, who are you most enthusiastic about writing for?

MK: I love writing for Pam, because she doesn’t get a lot of huge jokes or anything, but she’s very passive-aggressive, and I think writing that is very fun. She’s also very likeable. I think that’s very fun to write. I think everyone will pick their own favorite character to love. Everyone loves writing for Creed and Toby, because Creed can be just non sequiturs, and in a way, it’s pretty easy. But I think writing for Michael Scott is pretty amazing … He’s fun to group-write.

Warning: a little bit of profanity.

Angela live at iO West April 16

Angela Kinsey will be the featured guest performer in iO West’s “The Armando Show” on Monday, April 16 in Los Angeles.

From the iO West website:

The Armando Show begins with one suggestion from the audience, which is then interpreted by that night’s Armando (frequently a celebrity guest) through a personal and truthful improvised monologue. Inspired by that monologue, a cast composed of veteran Chicago and Los Angeles alumni perform scenes which, in turn inspire a response from Armando. This propels hilarious interchanges between Armando’s monologues and the company’s scenes.

Tickets are $10.
