Jenna wrote me to say:

I’m so proud of Angela, Brian and Oscar. They worked really hard on those and showed up in their free time to work on them. It was something they wanted to do for the fans and I’m really proud they got recognized. Randall Einhorn shot and directed them. He’s our usual D.P. — you may have met him during your visit. Anyway, he did a great job. I feel like a proud Mom or something but we really are like family over there …

Tipsters: J, Jenna, Tony

More photos after the jump. Congratulations to all! :)

John Krasinski in People’s ‘Hottest Bachelors’ issue

From BostonHerald.com:

Joining [Chris] Evans in the Hottest Bachelor issue are two more brainy Boston-bred cuties, “The Office” star, John Krasinski and “Wildfire” actor, Ryan Sypek. Because of their impressive education, both Newton homey Krasinski and Wayland native Sypek score a spot on the mag’s “Smarthrobs” list.

Smarthrob sounds like a … oh never mind. ;)

I can’t find any mention of John on People.com’s Hottest Bachelor sneak peak page. I guess we’ll have to wait until the issue is available on newsstands. Which is tomorrow, June 15th …

Fandomicity — the video

The Office FandomicityMaggie (aka seat18b) has finally finished her film class project — a documentary about The Office fandom called FANDOMICITY — “a documentary made for the fans by the fans.”

I’ve watched the entire thing, and I must say, it is fan-freaking-tastic. (Who knew Office fans were so dang funny?)

Maggie adds, “All the cast and crew were made a copy over at the offices of The Office and everyone really liked it, which is really great.”

And yeah, Maggie got an A on her project. :)

Greg Daniels at Banff World Television Festival

The Office Executive Producer Greg Daniels is in Banff this week leading a master class for the World Television Festival.

Here are some interesting related articles (I’m tagging this with a SPOILER ALERT because Season 4 is discussed, but nothing is revealed that is earth-shattering):

  • 6/12, Blogcritics Magazine: An Interview with The Office Creator Greg Daniels. “It’s just almost embarrassing when you see the promos for 30 Rock and Scrubs and there’s all these good gags in there, and then there’s ours and it’s all “I loooove you.” And I’m like, OK, that was a good moment, but we had guys in inflatable sumo suits also.”
  • 6/12, Edmonton Sun: Office talk. “People on college campuses have more passion for our show than they have passion for Two and a Half Men.”
  • 6/11, Toronto Star: Funny business as usual at NBC. “The writers have “broken” the first 13 episodes. Each has two or three rough outlines — Daniels brought his two to Banff — and the plan is to reconvene after July 4 with completed scripts.”

The Office Steve Carell

May 31: Check out today’s clip — my NBC source says “it’s a never-before-seen segment from NBC’s 2005 upfront, in which the renewal of The Office is announced and Carell jumps out of the audience, goes crazy and kisses Bob Wright on the lips.”

DotComedy.com has launched “Steve Almighty” — showcasing different clips of Steve Carell through June 22!

And there are some great classic videos — from The Office, Conan, The Ambiguously Gay Duo, and of course, his hilarious Golden Globes acceptance speech. Go check it out!
