Come here for Office news, you will.
Lest this event slips through the cracks today, a reminder that B.J. Novak and Friends will perform at Largo, Los Angeles tonight.
You know who B.J. is — he’s a cast member of that Emmy award-winning show, The Office. (Man, that felt good to say.)
Please report back if you attend the show! (Wonder if any Office-mates will make surprise appearances?)
P.S. Note from B.J.: Sold out. Some standing room (at the bar) available if you get there early.
Happy Birthday, B.J.!
It was way back during the fall of last year when I first became interested in The Office and found B.J.’s website.
Which lead me to MySpace, Jenna’s page, Northern Attack, the idea to start my own site, and the rest is OfficeTally history. ;)
Thanks, B.J., for igniting my obsession for The Office. Have a great day!
P.S. B.J.’s next live appearance will be “B.J. Novak and Friends” at Largo in Los Angeles on Monday, August 28th, with Mindy Kaling (“Kelly”), Craig Robinson (“Darryl”) and “surprise guests.” This has been added to the OT calendar.
The University of Southern California (USC) School of Cinema-Television is presenting a panel discussion with The Office’s creative team this Sunday, July 30th:
Panelists will include:
Co-Executive Producer Paul Lieberstein, who also plays “Toby”
Co-Executive Producer Kent Zbornak
Supervising Producer BJ Novak, who also plays “Ryan” (the temp)
Director Ken Whittingham
Staff Writer and USC Alum Caroline Williams
This event is free!
Thanks, Aaron! And I hope if you or any other OT readers attend, that y’all come back with a full report. :)
Update 7/31: I am tagging this post with a SPOILER WARNING so that people who attended the discussion can feel free to post comments about the upcoming season!
Ohio State University’s The Lantern scores an interview with Greg Daniels, executive producer of The Office, and B. J. Novak.
Casino Night is discussed; proceed with caution.
Read the official article here, and the rough transcript here (recorded by the reporter’s sister, Becca, who also happens to be an Office fan vid creator — check out her videos in the video playlist under “Becca Productions”).
The transcript includes Greg Daniels’ first public mention of the supersizedoffice.com petition!
Alicia: Well I guess I should ask about the finale, you’re probably not allowed to give away too much, but I heard it’s supersized, which is exciting.
Greg: And that by the way came about because a Chicago newspaper had printed something that I said in an interview about, I was just kind of being a little facetious and saying Jeff Zucker oughta supersize it because I don’t want to have to edit it, and these fans started a website called supersizedoffice.com…
Alicia: Yeah, I signed that petition.
Greg: Oh, did you? Good for you! Yeah, anyway, well they really listened to that. And that’s why we have a supersized office.
Nice!
B. J. Novak (“Ryan”) has some upcoming comedy club appearances, as mentioned on his MySpace home page:
As always, these dates are also listed on the OfficeTally Calendar.
A quickie interview, that is.
GMMR (Give Me My Remote) recently got the chance to ask B. J. Novak (“Ryan”) a few interesting questions, and B. J. really turns up the funny on the answers!
Go check out the five questions here.
Here is Ryan the temp’s iTunes playlist — hilariously written, as usual. Check out the explanations for tracks 10 and 11.
