A super-short promo for The Coup aired last night during ‘Heroes.’
B.J. Novak on Leno
Just a reminder that B.J. Novak (“Ryan”) makes his first appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight, October 3rd!
Helen Mirren and Jet are also scheduled to appear.
I don’t know if B.J. will do any of his standup tonight, but here’s an old Comedy Central Premium Blend video if you haven’t seen it before.
Watch the video here. (Thanks, Denise!)
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 …
Tipsters: LJ Office community, Reid.

Jenna and John visit CNN
As Jenna Fischer mentioned in her MySpace blog last week, she and John Krasinski visited CNN for a little interview.
Thanks, Jill, for the tip!
Guess who comes to the convention?
Guess who makes a special appearance on this week’s episode, The Convention? I can’t really say much more without giving it away.
SPOILER WARNING If you don’t mind being spoiled, check out the article, photo, and hilarious video here. (You’ll need to scroll down to the second article on the page.)
Rainn Wilson is, as always, hysterical.
Thanks to Joel for the great tip!

What’s next for Steve and John
Since it’s a rather slow Office news day (not counting spoilers, of course), how about some tidbits on what Steve and John are up to?
Steve Carell
- Get Smart. Work starts in March on the big-screen version of “Get Smart,” in which Steve plays Maxwell Smart. Read a short blurb about it here.
- Horton Hears a Who. Steve will supply the voice of the mayor of Who-ville in an animated movie version of “Horton Hears a Who,” scheduled for release in 2008. Jim Carrey will voice Horton the elephant. See the full article and first-look image here.
John Krasinski
- Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. John will write and direct the big screen version of the David Foster Wallace book. More information at Cinema Blend.
- A New Wave. Okay, this isn’t a future project, but I thought y’all might be interested in this if you haven’t seen it yet. This is a movie John made last year which is still awaiting release. Warning: this is no Jim Halpert. Watch the trailer of A New Wave here.
New NBC Dwangela video
Come watch a Dwangela (Dwight + Angela) tribute video put out by NBC!
It’s set to the same music as the JAM Season 3 promo, which makes it all the more … hilarious.
Watch the new Dwangela video here; compare it to the old JAM promo here.
