Jenna Fischer proclaimed: “It tasted really good. I mean, like, it was amazing. Have you had cake from this place before? If not, treat yourself to one. Amazing!”

For all the details, head on over to GMMR. (And thanks to Wendy for being the mastermind and project manager for putting this together!)

Reminder: Jenna on Conan tonight

Jenna Fischer appears on ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ tonight.

This is a repeat of her March 2nd appearance, and also includes Bob Costas and Dwayne Perkins.

Jenna relays a pretty funny story about her short stint as an International Spice Girl.

Fortune talks to Dwight Schrute

Dwight Schrute offers Fortune Magazine his typically sage advice on getting ahead in corporate America (Rainn Wilson makes a brief appearance at the end of the interview).

An excerpt:

I’m sure as a young person climbing the corporate ladder you’re a big Fortune reader …

Absolutely. I love their articles in Fortune that have to do with pirate ships that have sunk off of Barbados. Abandoned gold mines that still have a great deal of treasure in them in the Congo. And ruins in Peru … Oh wait a minute, that’s Fortune Hunter Magazine.

Thanks to GMMR for the tip!

Ricky Gervais talks about The Office

Entertainment Weekly speaks to Ricky Gervais about some of his current projects. Ricky also talks a little bit about the The Office:

Are you pleased with the way the American version of The Office has evolved into its own show?

It’s my favorite sitcom. You try to make shows that you want to watch. I did with The Office, I’m doing it now with Extras. It’s the show you wish someone else had made, but I had to make it. With the American Office, it’s the best of both worlds because someone else made it, and it’s just how I wanted it. So it’s a joy.

Thanks to Matthew for sending this in!
