Quickie Giveaway: ‘The Office’ pens!

I am giving away a set of nifty Office pens from my Target goodie prize chest.

Winner: the contest is now closed and the winner is #79, ohhelms!

Correct answer: John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Ricky Gervais (who is always listed in the credits as executive producer of the U.S. Office). Here’s a map.

Many of you listed Conan O’Brien, and while it’s true he did appear briefly in the episode ‘Valentine’s Day,’ I don’t think he was listed in the credits for it. Please correct me if I’m wrong. :)

Thanks to all for playing!

Jenna Fischer MySpace blog: A little spoiler

From Jenna Fischer’s MySpace blog, dated September 8, 2008:

We are shooting part of our Halloween episode right now. OMG! I cannot wait for you to see everyone in costume this year! It’s AWESOME! I can’t decide who I like best. Our hair, makeup and wardrobe teams worked very hard on this episode. They made our costumes look great but also homemade. I wish they could design my costume for real life! I usually just end up wearing black and orange and a funny hat.

Also this week we are working with Stephen Merchant, co-creator of the British Office. He’s directing an episode this year!

That’s all. Just a little teaser. I’m off to shoot!
