Where everyone is welcome ... except Toby.
Kristin of E! Online caught up with the Office crew at the upfronts this week in NYC.
These are some choice videos, because they actually contain a bit of spoilerish information about Season 3!
Click the images to view the videos. (Unfortunately, these are not very Mac-friendly.)
You can also find Kristin’s report here.
For those of you who aren’t able to replay THE SCENE over and over again, via Tivo, iTunes, or other more nefarious means, you can now watch it at NBC.com. (And it’s Mac-friendly, yay!)
And by, THE SCENE, I really mean the TWO scenes. You know the ones.
Watch them now. For the 78th time. ;)
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch has an excellent profile on Phyllis Smith (“Phyllis”). An excerpt:
‘To look at Phyllis, an “Office” drone best-known for her deadpan double-takes, you might never suspect that Smith was a dancer with professional companies in St. Louis, a football Cardinals cheerleader, and a burlesque performer with Will B. Able and his Baggy Pants Revue at the Chase-Park Plaza in the 1970s.’

The latest NBC press releases (here and here) announce five Office reruns will air over two Thursdays:
As always, if there are schedule changes or additions, I will post them here!
In TV Guide’s Ask Ausiello column today:
Question: Jim and Pam finally got together! Any scoop on The Office’s Season 3? — Daniella
Ausiello: No, but can we just pause for a second and talk about how heartbreakingly sweet their climactic kissing scene was? One of the best TV moments of the year. And “just once” may go down as the best TV line ever. And although I’m still not supposed to discuss our Dream Emmy Ballot before it gets unveiled next week, I’ll let you in on a little secret: Based on someone’s performance in the Office finale — his initials may be JK — we had to make a last-minute change to a certain supporting category (my apologies in advance to Doogie).
The Emmy nominations will be announced on July 6 at 5:30am. You bet I will slap myself awake to cheer on our show!
Isn’t this a beautiful picture of Melora Hardin (“Jan”)? The larger version is even more stunning.
See the larger photo and many others (Steve, B. J., Rainn, Jenna, John, Angela, and Brian) from Monday’s NBC Primetime Preview here.

Kristin from E! Online searches for Season 3 scoop:
I had the pleasure of running into David Denman, who plays Roy, and he was much cooler than his TV counterpart. It happened to be the same week they were shooting the Office finale, and I said to him “Maybe Jim will give Roy a run for his money next season?” and he said … click here for more.
TV Guide’s Michael Ausiello reports on Monday’s NBC presentation of their fall lineup (the “upfronts”):
The casts of The Office and My Name is Earl appeared onstage and explained what it meant to them to be a part of NBC’s storied Thursday-night lineup. I don’t recall any of their specific lines, but trust me when I say their shtick was the highlight of the nearly-three hour presentation. On a lesser note, we caught a preview of the first Office webisode, slated to debut this summer exclusively on NBC.com, and … click here for more.
