SPOILER WARNING: I have posted the Season 3 premiere episode title and synopsis in the Season 3 post, AND I have confirmed with NBC that it is accurate! (Thanks to GMMR for the original tip.)

If you’d like to post a comment about this, please add it to the Season 3 news post. Thanks!

• Friday, Sept. 1:
  Jenna Fischer on ‘Martha’ (r).
• Saturday, Sept. 2:
  Office cast hosts NBC Primetime Preview. (Although you can watch the Primetime Preview videos here.)
• Friday, Sept. 2, late night:
  John Krasinski on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ (r). John tells his lawn dart story.
• Thursday, Sept. 7, late night:
  Steve Carell on ‘The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ (r). This appearance is a real treat because Steve stays for three whole segments! And the rapport between Steve and Craig is hilarious.

The Martha, Leno, and Ferguson appearances are all repeats.

Remember there is no Office episode next Thursday (football).

For a complete list of events, see the OT Calendar.

The Office has one more chance to win an Emmy tonight, and that is for Outstanding Comedy Series. Nominees:

• Arrested Development
• Curb Your Enthusiasm
• The Office
• Scrubs
• Two And A Half Men

I am too shocked to say anything else at the moment.

• Blogs updated this week: Kevin’s MySpace blog and Brian’s TVGuide.com blog, which contained quite a few Season 3 tidbits that I’ve added to OT’s Season 3 post.
• The latest NBC scheduling press release shows that the Season 2 finale Casino Night will re-air on September 14th. (And this time, it’s the supersized version!)
• Who loves The Office? — Conan O’Brien (see page 2 of The Onion’s A.V. Club interview) and NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams (see page 3 of The New York Observer’s interview). Thanks to Stacy for the Conan tip!
• Emmy spoiler warning: I will be posting Office Emmy news here on Sunday just as soon as I hear it, which means probably before the show airs on the West Coast. You have been warned. :)

As OfficeTally has publicized the Prism DuroSport music player in the past, we would be remiss to not relay the company’s latest announcement to recall its t-shirts:

An excerpt from the recall announcement:

Two specific product “defects” have been claimed. One leads to a very slight skin rash, while the other involves the actual shape of the shirt — it is possible that we may have inadvertently shipped dog shirts to a few of our human customers.

Read Prism DuroSport’s full recall announcement here. OT applauds the Prism DuroSport folks for stepping up and doing the right thing.

P.S. You can find a very logical explanation for the dog shirts here.

Monday’s E!’s Kristin chat transcript and Jenna’s MySpace blog both had some little tidbits related to The Office Season 3.

I’ve added the tidbits, along with some information from the SuicideGirls.com interview with Paul Lieberstein, to OfficeTally’s Season 3 thread. (Darn if that post isn’t getting a little unwieldy.)
