BDE #2: Chattin’ with the OT peeps
During our set visit on Tuesday, Angela told me she wanted to check out the OT chat room. We only had a few minutes after lunch, so we rushed over to Angela Martin’s desk and logged on. Angela did the actual typing!
(See the OT chat room on Angela’s screen? — with the little OT bobblehead graphic in the upper right corner?)
Check out the jazz babies poster behind Angela!
Here’s what Angela said in chat:
hey guys it’s angela and jennie on set!!! jennie is sitting at my desk with me. we just had lunch. I just have a few minutes and then I have to go to hair and makeup. tanster says that she hasn’t fainted yet. but might at any second.
Oh yeah, big time butterflies in my stomach.
Thank you, Angela, for stopping by chat! :)
BDE #1: Best. Day. Ever.
It’s late, I’m exhausted, and I have full day of work tomorrow, so I unfortunately have to make this short for now.
The Office set visit today far surpassed my wildest expectations. Kath from GMMR and I got to spend the entire day with the cast and crew, from 9am to 6pm. We watched the filming of an episode, and it was fascinating and funny.
We also got a chance to chat with: Angela Kinsey, B.J. Novak, Brian Baumgartner, Creed Bratton, Ed Helms, Gene Stupnitsky, Greg Daniels, Harold Ramis, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Kate Flannery, Kent Zbornak, Lee Eisenberg, Leslie David Baker, Melora Hardin, Michael Schur, Mindy Kaling, Oscar Nunez, Paul Lieberstein, Phyllis Smith, Rainn Wilson, Randall Einhorn, Rashida Jones, and last but not least, Steve Carell.
Yes, nearly the entire cast was there! My head is still spinning.
Here are just a few tidbits …
The call sheet taped to the door reads: “Super Fans, Jennie Tan and Kathie Skerry — who operate the fan websites OfficeTally.com and GiveMeMyRemote.com will be observing, asking questions, and taking pictures with cast — Please do NOT beat or flog them like the others!” How awesome is that?
Goofing off at reception. I look sad, but I’m ecstatic. Really!
More details to come …

Do deleted scenes ‘count’?
A few weeks ago, the post for Business School deleted scenes generated an interesting debate on whether these scenes “counted” in Dunder Mifflin reality, even though they never officially aired.
Well, according to Office show runner Greg Daniels, yes, Virginia, deleted scenes are canon:
Daniels is rare among producers in his belief that the deleted scenes have as much validity as the ones that made it to air, explaining, “For the writers, in our minds, those scenes have happened. We wrote them, we shot them, and at the last minute, I cut them in the editing room, but we’re relying on them anyway for the mythology of the show.”

Rashida Jones on the radio
The Office’s Rashida Jones talked to a few radio stations yesterday:
Phoenix’s 104.7 KISS FM talks to Rashida about American Idol, auditioning for The Office, and Oprah.
LA’s 106.7 KROQ’s Kevin and Bean Show talks to Rashida about fan reaction to Karen, and her new TV show, The Rules of Starting Over. (It’s about 40% into the clip.)
By the way, if you missed Rashida’s appearance on Letterman Thursday night, here it is.
