Did you miss NBC President of Entertainment Kevin Reilly’s cameo on ‘The Office’ last night? Me too!
With no advance fanfare, Reilly briefly popped up in this week’s episode of the Peacock’s hit laffer “The Office.” Reilly — whose cameo featured no lines and lasted about three seconds — played a prospective boss interviewing Dwight Schruth (Rainn Wilson) for a job.

During Steve Job’s Macworld keynote address today, he announced the coming of a revolutionary new product called the iPhone.
To show off the iPhone’s video capability, he used the cold open from ‘Branch Closing’ in his demo!

I worked at Macworld myself today, and believe me, the excitement surrounding this thing was unbelievable. And yeah, the phone is FREAKING COOL.
