I just found out that Ken [Kwapis] has signed on to direct our Season Finale — which also happens to be our 100th episode!

You can find a few preliminary details about this on OfficeTally’s Season 5 news and spoilers page. (No spoilerish discussion on this post, please.)

Because if you think that you have to wait until after the Super Bowl to be treated to ‘The Office,’ you would be mistaken. ;)

And remember the special one-hour episode of ‘The Office’ airs 7:30pm PT/10:30pm ET.
