Planting its seed in fans since 2006.
A lovely story from Boston Magazine about The Office’s Steve Carell:
For years, celebrities—like the guys from Aerosmith—have flocked to Marshfield to fade into the idyll of this South Shore hamlet. But ever since Steve Carell bought the old general store, the townsfolk have been in an uncharacteristic tizzy.
The Office’s Rainn Wilson appeared on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien tonight.

Variety has named The Office’s Ellie Kemper (“Erin”) a comic to watch. Here’s an excerpt from her profile:
Ellie Kemper isn’t quite used to the idea that, as of this fall, she’ll be a series regular on one of her favorite shows, “The Office.”
“Being on set is surreal because it’s so familiar to you from TV, and now you’re in it,” muses Kemper, who plays Dunder Mifflin’s naive new receptionist, Erin. “The Internet is actually hooked up, so I sent an email to my mom that said, ‘I’m at Pam’s desk right now!’ It’s unbelievable.”

Variety has named The Office’s Mindy Kaling a screenwriter to watch. Here’s an excerpt from her profile:
Most recognized for her own performance on TV’s “The Office” as the chatty, needy Kelly Kapoor, Kaling says she’s increasingly identifying herself as a writer and a performer. “It comes from this impatience that I just wrote this and now I want to see it on its feet,” she says.

Aug 2: the contest is now closed to new entries. It may take me a week to finish reading all the entries and picking my top 20. Thanks for your patience!
Your task is to write a summary of The Office Season 6 premiere, entitled ‘Gossip.’
You must write it in the style of an official NBC summary, which means it must include a lead-in phrase in ALL CAPS, followed by a small paragraph. It must also be intriguing while also being maddeningly vague.
The entry that achieves the best balance of credibility, intrigue, and vagueness wins an exclusive Schrute Farms Beets Watch, courtesy of the NBC Store!
Here comes Season 6 …
Today is the first day of filming The Office Season 6! Woo!
Rainn Wilson has commemorated the occasion.
Angela Kinsey wrote in her MySpace blog yesterday: “We go back to work on The Office for Season 6 tomorrow! We are all really excited to go back to work. You would never know that it’s our 6th year. We all still get giddy and know how great we have it.”
The table read for the premiere episode happened last Thursday.

From Angela Kinsey’s MySpace blog, dated July 27, 2009:
How is everyone?! It has been SO long since I said hi. Okay… where do I start? How is every one’s summer going? May and June were all about reconnecting with family and friends for me and of course having some sweet sweet time with my lil’ gal. There is nothing better than hanging with Ms. Izzy.
I just got back from Boston where I was working on Furry Vengeance. What a great group of folks! I play “Felder”, Ken Jeong’s assistant in the movie. Ken and I met on the plane on the way to Boston and we hit it off immediately. And the whole cast and crew were so laid back and fun. We would all go out for dinner and hang out after work. It felt like an extension of The Office for me. Such a fun work environment. I took some pics and will find out if I can post them! :) Isabel came to Boston to join me and we hit some of the sites. I really loved Boston. The Boston Children’s Museum is so cool. I think grownups like it as much as the kids!
We go back to work on The Office for Season 6 tomorrow! I can’t believe. I am packing for Isabel’s trailer tonight. Our first episode back is written by Paul Lieberstein (aka Toby) and it is hilarious. He will also be directing it! We are all really excited to go back to work. You would never know that it’s our 6th year. We all still get giddy and know how great we have it. I usually get the gals a little gift for their trailer. I am thinking fancy soaps for this year. Any cute ideas? And Jenna if you just read this…act surprised when you see your soaps. :/ So here is a list of my favorite things from this summer…share some of yours too! Oh and I have to mention that I loved working on my Clairol campaign. I have never had such sassy hair!
Oh oh oh and a big CONGRATS to my bff, Ms. Fischer! Her hubby to be is the sweetest southern fella. He’s from Texas! I have already planned our Christmas family get togethers for the next couple of years. Hahaha. Jenna threw me the most awesome baby shower so I told her that we have to do something fun and girlie for her wedding.
That’s it for now. I hope you are all well. And I’ll be blogging behind the scenes of Season 6 soon!
