More hardcore than parkour.
Thanks so much to each and every one of you for the birthday wishes today — my MySpace inbox runneth over. :)
As today is a school night, there probably won’t be any major celebrating until the weekend. But how great is it that I get to watch an Office marathon and then top the evening off with John Krasinski on Conan? Now that’s a birthday gift. ;)
Thanks again, you guys are the best!

From Hollywood Reporter:
“Publisher MumboJumbo has entered into a multiyear relationship with the Universal Pictures Digital Platforms Group to develop mass-market games based on the NBC series The Office.
Developed and published exclusively by MumboJumbo, The Office game will debut in the fall as a PC game sold at retail and available as an online digital download. Next year, the plan is to create additional games based on The Office license beginning with portable experiences for the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable.”

Update: MumboJumbo offers a free trial of the game!

John Krasinski appeared on E!’s “Daily 1O” show tonight to talk about the basketball wager he made with his Leatherheads co-star and director, George Clooney.
While some of you are skeptical as to who the real winner was, here is the scoop straight from John. :)

MoviesOnline Canada spoke to Ken Kwapis, director of License to Wed. Ken is also a director and co-executive producer of The Office, and mentioned our favorite show several times in the interview, including a cute story about Jenna Fischer’s audition for Pam:
[Jenna] said to the casting director, “I’m so desperate to get this part. What do I need to do when I go in there and meet the director?” And the casting director said, “Just go in there and bore them.” And I thought that was the most brilliant advice because that’s the style of the show — people who kind of disappear under the woodwork. She came in to audition and just sat in the corner for awhile and I remember literally someone came up to me and said, “I think that woman is under the misperception that she’s here for a receptionist’s job.”
HollywoodPressTV interviews The Office cast members Steve Carell, Creed Bratton, Leslie David Baker, Craig Robinson, Oscar Nunez, and David Denman at the Evan Almighty premiere.

A reminder that Steve Carell appears on NBC’s The Today Show and Comedy Central’s The Daily Show with Jon Stewart today.
Steve and Jon are so cute together. They’re like little giggle partners.
