P.S. A new clip of The Office was shown (around the 18:30 mark).
The Office’s Jenna Fischer lends her voiceover talents to the delectable foodie website, Grilled Cheese Academy, created by the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board.
Listen to Jenna as she describes each beautifully photographed glamwich! Omigod, I’m so hungry now.
As tipster Kathy says, “How perfect that ‘Pam’ narrates a website about grilled cheese sandwiches, the meal she shared with Jim on their first date.”

The Office’s Steve Carell stops by the UK’s GMTV to promote his upcoming movie Date Night and to deliver a weather report:

From today’s New York Times:
It takes a special sort of person to even be in the running for the weirdest person on “The Office,” but Creed Bratton has arguably claimed that mantle: the character (who shares his name with the actor who portrays him) turns up only once or twice an episode, usually to say something totally outrageous to the camera, make a leering remark about a female co-worker or just to impersonate the Joker from “The Dark Knight.” But he always makes an impression.
The Office’s Creed Bratton talks about the making of his latest album, ‘Bounce Back’:
“In Japan, heart surgeon. Number one. Steady hand. One day, yakuza boss need new heart. I do operation. But, mistake! Yakuza boss die. Yakuza very mad. I hide in fishing boat, come to America. No English, no food, no money. Darryl give me job. Now I have house, American car, and new woman. Darryl save life. My big secret: I kill yakuza boss on purpose. I good surgeon. The best!”
The Office’s B.J. Novak was kind enough to provide some details about that amazingly hilarious tag from ‘The Office’ episode Happy Hour, starring Hide the warehouse worker:
It was a particular mission of mine to get that in the episode. We shot six versions — two entirely different backstories, and filmed each of them solo at the warehouse, solo at the bar, and at the bar with Darryl.
I liked the idea that Hide (played by Hidetoshi Imura) had a life story infinitely more dramatic than anyone else the documentary crew has been following, but that they had never thought to ask. He’s been a background player for years.
Hide improvised one piece of the monologue: the inclusion of “American car” among his good fortunes. I did not quite understand why someone from Japan would take such specific pride in owning an American car, but I enjoyed it and we went with it.
