TV Guide reports B.J. Novak no longer full-time on The Office

From TV Guide:

B.J. Novak, who has doubled as a writer off-screen and a series regular on-screen since The Office’s 2005 launch, is leaving as a full-time part of the show.

Novak will remain a member of the extended Office family, however. Even though he no longer has a deal in place with series producer Universal TV, Novak is expected to make recurring appearances on The Office and could even still do some writing for the show.

… executive producer Greg Daniels… is returning full time to oversee the show’s creative evolution this season.

Charitybuzz is offering a great auction — lunch for two with Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak!

You can have a front row seat as the real-life The Office characters Ryan and Kelly argue over various popular culture touchstones and other topics right before your eyes. Actors and writers B.J. Novak and Mindy Kaling (The Office, The Mindy Project) will take you out to lunch in Los Angeles and discuss whatever you want to talk about. Valid for two people. Lunch will take place in Los Angeles at a restaurant of B.J. and Mindy’s choice.

I’ve had the pleasure of chatting with Mindy and B.J. and I can tell you it’s like curling up on the couch with a bowl of fresh made caramel corn. Sweet, salty, delish. :)
