Method to ‘The Office’ Madness

Backstage.com talks to The Office cast about the casting process, the success of the show, and what it’s like to spend 60 hours a week on set together.

An excerpt:

Fischer: A good example of improv that paid off was in our episode “The Gay Witch Hunt” [Season 3, Episode 1]. That kiss between Oscar and Steve [Carell] was not scripted. And all of our reactions are the real reactions. It speaks so much to Oscar’s professionalism that he did not break.

Nunez: I do not break. You can write that down. He wasn’t supposed to kiss me. We did it a couple of times, and he wasn’t kissing me. And then that once, I see his lips coming closer and closer; I’m like, “Dear God, he’s going to kiss me.” And sure enough, he planted one on my face.

Funny-Girl Talk: Tina Fey and Jenna Fischer

This article was included in the print version of TV Guide a few weeks ago, and was posted at TV Guide Online this week.

Tina Fey and Jenna Fischer talk about their respective must-see Thursday shows, 30 Rock and The Office.

An excerpt:

TV Guide: Since you’re both on TV on Thursdays, do you watch each other’s shows? Don’t lie!

Jenna Fischer: Seriously, 30 Rock is my favorite new show on television. My husband and I TiVo it. I’m really excited for this interview, because I want to geek out with questions about Tina’s show.

Tina Fey: Thank you, Jenna! I’m also an Office geek. I have to say, that season finale last year, you and John Krasinski played that so lovely. Was it weird to have to play a tender love scene with him?

Jenna: Well, I love John, so it was cool because I was so comfortable with him. But we took it seriously. We put a lot of effort into it, and we were very protective.
