Friday’s ‘Ellen’ may be TiVo-worthy

I got an email yesterday from a very excited OT reader named Shannon:

I thought I’d give you (and all the fans of “The Office”) an update on a commercial I saw for “The Ellen DeGeneres Show.” I saw a commercial late last night for segments coming up this week, and up came a clip of John Cryer, Heidi Klum, and low and behold, our beloved John Krasinski!!!

Anyway, it was a clip of each of them singing, but there was no sound of them; just the announcer’s voice. I looked on Ellen’s website, and it lists Friday as “Ellen’s Karaoke Show”, and lists Heidi and John Cryer, and “some surprise performances.” (Why they didn’t list John Krasinski, I have no idea!) But, he will definitely be singing. And who doesn’t love John Krasinski singing??? “Love me, love me …”

Thanks, Shannon, for the heads-up!

Update: Here is a preview of Friday’s show — that is definitely John singing at the beginning!

Clips and Quips video: missing scene

clips and quips

If you are a long-time Office fan, you’ve already seen Boaz Frankel’s hilarious interview with Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, and Rainn Wilson.

But did you know there was a scene that was never aired? — Boaz tries out for the part of Phil, the intern. Talk about awkward pauses …

Watch the deleted scene here. (You’ll need to fast-forward through the Jordana Brewster interview.)

Thanks to Betsy for the tip!


‘Office’ Lovebirds Enjoy Their Work

Frazier Moore of the Associated Press talks to Jenna Fischer and John Krasinski about their roles of Pam and Jim on The Office.

An excerpt:

Pam was thrown for a loop by Jim’s boldness [in Casino Night]. So, apparently, was Jenna.

“At the table read,” reports John, “when I first read my line, ‘I’m in love with you,’ Jenna said, ‘What?!’ — right in front of the whole cast. It was hilarious. They put that in the final script.”

Read the full interview here.

Reading Jenna Fischer

In the September issue of Esquire magazine, Jenna Fischer wrote an article called Ten Things You Don’t Know About Women.

Here is a video, created by Preston Conner and shot entirely on a camera phone, of various Office staff members (including Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, Kate Flannery, Charles Esten, Ed Helms, John Sparano, and Dan Beals) reciting from the article.

Warning: Definitely NSFW! It’s pretty raunchy stuff …
