Just a reminder that Jenna Fischer will appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight, September 28th.
This is a new appearance — she goes on after Ashton Kutcher.
Guess who comes to the convention?
Guess who makes a special appearance on this week’s episode, The Convention? I can’t really say much more without giving it away.
SPOILER WARNING If you don’t mind being spoiled, check out the article, photo, and hilarious video here. (You’ll need to scroll down to the second article on the page.)
Rainn Wilson is, as always, hysterical.
Thanks to Joel for the great tip!

What’s next for Steve and John
Since it’s a rather slow Office news day (not counting spoilers, of course), how about some tidbits on what Steve and John are up to?
Steve Carell
- Get Smart. Work starts in March on the big-screen version of “Get Smart,” in which Steve plays Maxwell Smart. Read a short blurb about it here.
- Horton Hears a Who. Steve will supply the voice of the mayor of Who-ville in an animated movie version of “Horton Hears a Who,” scheduled for release in 2008. Jim Carrey will voice Horton the elephant. See the full article and first-look image here.
John Krasinski
- Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. John will write and direct the big screen version of the David Foster Wallace book. More information at Cinema Blend.
- A New Wave. Okay, this isn’t a future project, but I thought y’all might be interested in this if you haven’t seen it yet. This is a movie John made last year which is still awaiting release. Warning: this is no Jim Halpert. Watch the trailer of A New Wave here.
New NBC Dwangela video
Come watch a Dwangela (Dwight + Angela) tribute video put out by NBC!
It’s set to the same music as the JAM Season 3 promo, which makes it all the more … hilarious.
Watch the new Dwangela video here; compare it to the old JAM promo here.

Office Sweethearts Tease Tonight’s Return
TV Guide talked to Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski after their appearance on The Today Show this morning.
An excerpt:
TVGuide.com: A concern of some critics is that your story line threatens to make The Office, a comedy, too “angsty.” Do you take that personally at all?
Krasinski: People have been saying that for a while, but the writers keep it so realistic that I feel like however it came out, you can talk to a number of people who have had a similar experience. I feel like we sort of answered a lot of questions, and I’m really glad that we ended [Season 2] the way that we did.

Thanks, Jill, for the tip!

Subject Prop Giveaway!
Body: Hey guys,
I’ve gotten a lot of requests from you that the prop giveaway blog be done in the late afternoon. I am going to try to shoot for that. It’s a little tricky for me because I will be posting this blog from work. Yes—while the cameras are rolling I’ll be in the background typing away. ;) I have been working all week with the prop and wardrobe department for some cool items. Good luck and thanks for supporting the show!
