Jenna Fischer stars in a heart-stirring music video for Wisely’s first single, “Through Any Window,” from his album Wisely, to be released October 2nd.

Jenna has written many times about Willie Wisely in her MySpace blog, including:

January 2, 2007: I am shooting a music video for the Willie Wisely song “Through Any Window”. I couldn’t be more excited. This is one of my all-time favorite songs so to star in the music video is pretty cool for me. I’ve met with the writer and director on the shoot and their idea is very cool.

April 13, 2006: I LOVE this guy … Willie Wisely. His latest album Parador is great. I’ve been a fan of his for a long time. He has a folksy and unique sound that reminds me of Lyle Lovett — one of my other favorites.

The art of improv

MTV.com has an interesting story about the role of improv comedy in current film and TV show hits.

The story includes quotes from The Office’s Steve Carell, Leslie David Baker, and Phyllis Smith, as well as a video clip of Jenna Fischer “improvising” with her Blades of Glory co-stars.

I have to agree with what Phyllis says — during the pivotal Jan/Michael scene in “Women’s Appreciation,” where she’s in his office listening to his “break up” voicemail, Steve and Melora improvised brilliantly.

From my set visit notes:

One time Jan growls, another time she starts to cry, and another time, she accidentally gets tangled up in some phone cord or something, and exits Michael’s office in a flustered huff.

On another take, Jan actually throws an orange (or an orange ball, I couldn’t tell which) at Michael. We asked Steve later if he knew that Melora was going to throw something at him. He said, “she got that look in her eyes, so I knew something was coming.”

My phone call with Jenna Fischer — exclusive!

When I got home today after work (yes, I know it’s hard to believe, but I do have a full-time job outside of OfficeTally), I had a lovely surprise waiting for me in my inbox — an email from the newly Emmy-nominated Jenna Fischer, asking if I would like to chat briefly with her this evening.

Um, yes please.

She had decided not to do any formal interviews today, preferring to give an exclusive to OfficeTally to thank the fans! How great is that?
