Jenna’s Season 4 tease

SPOILER WARNING! Video and subsequent comments will contain spoilers.

This video interview is primarily about Jenna’s upcoming movie, Blades of Glory, but what got me really excited was Jenna’s mention of The Office season 3 finale! She even talks a teeny little bit about Season 4! (Nothing too spoilerish is mentioned, but the expression on Jenna’s face speaks volumes.)

The Office stuff comes around two minutes into the clip.

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. New episodes can’t come soon enough.

Jenna Fischer Naked Wired

The latest issue of Wired Magazine features an eye-catching graphic of Jenna Fischer naked and the article, “What We Can Learn from The Office.”

The Office Jenna Fischer Wired Magazine


Here’s what the Wired blog says about the cover:

The April cover of WIRED features a package of stories about radical transparency, our notion that the next model of business success is laying your company bare to the world—sharing secrets with your rivals, blogging about ideas as you have them, and copping to fumbles and foibles as you make them. The concept was crisp, but we all struggled with how to portray a pretty complex idea in the three-second visual byte that is the modern magazine cover. If you’re talking about transparency, the obvious metaphor is clear: you’re naked.

So of course, WIRED being WIRED, we wanted a cover that was smart and showy. And as Creative Director I wanted something that hadn’t been done before. We settled on the idea of printing on clear acetate. But it had to be interactive. Now you’re in a business suit—now you’re not.

Then we wrestled with the question of how to best show the real goings on inside the modern American office. How about using “The Office” as a model? And who would we like to see practicing what we’re preaching? Dwight? Ehhh…notsomuch. Of course, Pam. So we called NBC and pitched our idea and Jenna Fischer (thankfully!) liked the idea.

Michael Elins photographed her in Los Angeles in a dingy little studio. And yes, the whole thing is real; we shot it in two parts, Jenna in her business suit and her birthday suit (really). She was a great sport about the whole thing. Funny and endearing.

And no, I don’t have outtakes.

Inside TVG’s Sexy Party

Celebrating Rashida Jones’ appearance in TV Guide’s sexy issue, Office cast members talk about who they think is sexy:

Who would Jones — the daughter of Peggy Lipton and Quincy Jones — nominate for next year’s sexy list? “Rain Wilson. He’s got a sexy thing about him, he really does, the more people see him out of Dwight,” she said. “He’s got a sexy nerd thing going on.”

Nice photo of Rashida, Kate, and Brian, too!

The Office’s Andy Bernard in Atlanta

Creative Loafing Atlanta talks to Ed Helms:

Do you have any stories of things going wrong, or funny things happening on the set?

The Christmas episode was a fun shoot because we did it at a real Benihana with a real Benihana hibachi grill … Jim throws a shrimp at Dwight, who was about 8 feet away, and it bounced off Dwight’s glasses and went right into the cup of water he was about to drink from. It was a one-in-a-million shot that pretty much shut down the set for five or 10 minutes of applause. But we didn’t use it because Harold Ramis, the director that week, thought it would look fake, even though it wasn’t.
