Katy meets B.J.
SPOILER WARNING! Report and subsequent comments will contain spoilers. (Not too spoilery, though.)
OT reader Katy wrote in with an excellent report of B.J. Novak’s appearance at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh last night:
“BJ Novak was appearing at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA, last night (3/31/07) to do stand-up for the college crowd. The university’s program council was also hosting an accompanying Casino Night and Diversity Dance (they really know their Office stuff!). The whole evening was to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. He was set to be on stage at 8 pm, but when we got there around 7 the ushers said his flight from LA was delayed and he wouldn’t be on stage until roughly 11pm. Bummer! Instead, we hung out and gambled with charity money, and even watched episodes from both seasons 1 & 2 on the big screen until it was time. There were also raffles for various prize packages, some including Office memorabilia (but we didn’t even enter since we already owned that stuff!)

The Jenna Tally
Since Jenna mentioned OfficeTally in her blog this week (thanks Jenna!), I thought I’d better post a more detailed listing of Jenna’s Blades of Glory coverage. :)

‘Blades of Glory’ premiere
About.com talks to Jenna
SPOILER WARNING! Article and subsequent comments will contain spoilers. (It’s not too spoilery, though.)
Once again, a lengthy interview with Jenna about Blades of Glory, and once again, she says some interesting stuff about The Office:
I don’t know if Jim and Pam are ultimately meant to be together. I say this to producers all the time: ‘Sometimes that person helps you become the person that you’re supposed to be to meet the person you’re supposed to marry.’ Maybe that’s our story. And if that’s our story, that’s still a beautiful story to tell.
CHUD.com interviews Jenna

CHUD.com interviews Jenna Fischer about Blades of Glory, but she talks a little about The Office, too:
You had a weird break up scene on The Office this season with your boyfriend. It was very unnerving towards the end.
Yeah, with David Denman. David is one of my closer friends from the show; he and his wife and me and my husband, we hang out a lot. To see him turn like that, for me it was even more shocking because I know him as a big teddy bear. He played it so well and I think that cliffhanger of “I’m gonna kill Jim Halpert” is one of the best last lines of our episodes ever.
