‘The Office’ not in Paley Fest this year

The Paley Center for Media (formerly the Museum of Television and Radio) has announced its 2008 Paley Fest schedule, and ‘The Office’ is not in the lineup this year.

Paley Fest is a series of panel discussions with popular TV shows, where “during each evening, the audience views episodes or highlights of the featured work and has the opportunity to ask questions of the cast and creative team or the individual involved in its production.”

‘The Office’ event at last year’s Paley Fest was wildly popular. I don’t know why I assumed our beloved show would be part of this year’s lineup; I guess it was just wishful thinking.

Perhaps the best bet for this year is The Comedy World of Judd Apatow and Friends on Monday, March 17th. No panelists have been announced for this event yet, but there are plenty of Office connections to choose from — Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg (“Year One”), Jenna Fischer and Craig Robinson (“Walk Hard”), Steve Carell (“The 40-Year Old Virgin”), to name a few …

Here are some photos of Jenna Fischer from today’s “The Heart Truth Red Dress Collection” fashion show in New York.

“Designed to warn women of their #1 health threat, The Heart Truth created and introduced the Red Dress as the national symbol for women and heart disease awareness in 2002 to deliver an urgent wake-up call to American women. The Red Dress reminds women of the need to protect their heart health and inspires them to take action.”

Laura’s fan report

Tallyhead Laura files this report about her encounters with Office folks at the SAG Awards and other various events. Lucky girl!

It has been quite an exciting month for me with several Office-related encounters. Since Tanster appreciates firsthand accounts, I decided to share some of the highlights with other OT readers. I hope you enjoy. Sorry I didn’t take more pictures, but I’m trying to “savor the moment” more often and worry less about snapping pictures. :)

‘The Office’ wins Best Comedy Ensemble SAG Award

The Office


Jenna Fischer and cast accept the SAG Award for Best Comedy Ensemble.
So fantastic.

Jenna’s speech: “Hi. Thank you. They voted me to speak if we won, so — which we didn’t expect. Thank you so much. We really love working together. We love each other, we love working together and being together. And as an ensemble, a lot of the people in this group struggled for a long time as non-working actors — and by a long time I mean, like, eight, 12, 15, 20 years. So, we’re always grateful, we don’t take it for granted. Thank you so much.

But there’s another part of our ensemble, that’s our crew, and we want to dedicate this to them tonight. We can’t wait to go back to work with them, so, thank you so much.”
