TVGuide.com interviews Rashida Jones about her TVG “Sexy” shoot, her surprise appearance on SNL, and of course, her role as Karen:
NBC.com has outtakes from The Office’s “Business School” episode, where Karen ponders tearing down Pam’s art-show notice. It’s got some Jim-Pam fans calling you not-so-nice names.
[The writers] are very good about keeping it a fair, light competition, so I talked about that scene a little bit with Joss Whedon, who directed that episode, because I was hesitant about that moment. He was like, “Look, you just got all this new information and you have an impulsive moment, but you don’t do it.”

The Scranton Times-Tribune has a great report of their visit to The Office set — including video and photos!
Soon after finishing his scene with Mr. Helms, Mr. Wilson is trading dialogue with Ms. Kinsey. During their brief, slightly creepy exchange, Dwight asks Angela how he looks.
“Like Sean Hannity,” she says adoringly, referring to the conservative Fox News pundit. It’s a funny line, but the writers want her to put an alternate spin on it. Minutes later, she does a take substituting Mr. Hannity with another right-wing god, Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.
One take ends with Mr. Wilson cracking up. “She (Ms. Kinsey) rubbed her boobs on the door jamb,” he says. “They made a sound.”

A.V. Club talks to Mindy Kaling about Ben Affleck, SNL, and writing for The Office:
AVC: As a writer, who are you most enthusiastic about writing for?
MK: I love writing for Pam, because she doesn’t get a lot of huge jokes or anything, but she’s very passive-aggressive, and I think writing that is very fun. She’s also very likeable. I think that’s very fun to write. I think everyone will pick their own favorite character to love. Everyone loves writing for Creed and Toby, because Creed can be just non sequiturs, and in a way, it’s pretty easy. But I think writing for Michael Scott is pretty amazing … He’s fun to group-write.
Warning: a little bit of profanity.
