From Baylor to the office

The Baylor University Lariat speaks to alumna Angela Kinsey:

This season, if the whole cast can’t get together, Kinsey watches the show with her husband, Warren, or with Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam on the show.

“We are like a family,” she said. “We are very close. We love each other. We make each other laugh. I think it is the best job any of us have ever had.”

Despite her newfound success and fame in the seemingly far away land of Los Angeles, Kinsey has stayed true to her Baylor roots.

“I loved my time at Baylor,” she said. “It was everything I thought college should be.”

SPOILER WARNING! Videos and subsequent comments will contain spoilers.

When I went over to Yahoo to watch the extended ‘Phyllis’ Wedding’ preview video for the nth time (addicted? am I addicted?), I noticed there is a new video up — one where Melora Hardin, John Krasinski, Mindy Kaling, and B.J. Novak talk about the Office relationships.

They discuss upcoming storylines, so hence the spoiler tag …
