Office cast hosts NBC Primetime Preview

Golden Globe winner Steve Carell and the cast of NBC’s Emmy Award-nominated “The Office” (Thursdays, 8:30-9 p.m. ET) will appear in character as the Dunder-Mifflin worker bees quit pushing pencils long enough to help showcase the network’s new series for Fall 2006-07 in “NBC Primetime Preview” – a 30-minute program that features original comedy from the series’ creative team beginning August 12 through September 17.

It will … be broadcast on the NBC Network on Saturday, September 2 (8-8:30 p.m. ET).

Cast members, including recent Emmy nominee Carell, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson and B.J. Novak, will be featured in quick wraparound sketches designed to match the theme of each new series whose highlights are introduced during the program. Series regulars Angela Kinsey, Brian Baumgartner, Phyllis Smith, Kate Flannery, Leslie David Baker, Mindy Kaling and Paul Lieberstein also will star.

Angela in Cat Fancy Magazine

The September issue of Cat Fancy magazine (the one with “The Mystery of the Manx” on the cover) features Angela Kinsey and her two adorable kitties, Lucy and Otter. (Lucy’s pictured here.)

An excerpt:

Almost everyone on the set at “The Office” has a pet. Fischer has a dog and a cat. Brian Baumgartner (who plays Kevin) has a dog and has brought him to the set. Oscar Nunez (who plays Oscar) has a dog. Wilson has a dog. Smith has a cat. Krasinski had a cat when he lived in New York. “We’re a pet-friendly set,” Kinsey says.

Aside from the print article, check out seven video clips made during the interview:

  1. Angela’s Pre-Office Days
  2. Fun with HR
  3. Angela Goes to The Office
  4. Bring Your Pet to Work Day
  5. CAT FANCY in The Office
  6. Angela’s Comments on CAT FANCY
  7. A Feline Photo Shoot

The CF interviewers aren’t especially lively, but Angela is vivacious as ever. :)

P.S. I had trouble viewing these videos on my Mac, but if you follow these steps, you should be good to go.

The Friday Tally

  • New cast member blogs have been updated by Jenna, Angela, Brian, Kate, and Karly (“Madge”). Lots of good reading! Siblings separated at birth, indeed.
  • Movies Online talks to Steve Carell. There’s hardly any Office-related stuff in this interview, but it’s still a thoughtful and poignant read, especially when Steve talks about finding the comedy in tragedy.
  • Los Angeles Times talks to Rainn Wilson. An article from last week about bad haircuts and the origin of Schrute-Space.
  • You guys do know that TVGuide.com has its own Office blog, right? The latest entry recaps yesterday’s webisode. Funny stuff!
  • And lastly, a reminder that the deadline to bid on Jenna’s dress at the Clothes Off Our Back auction is this Monday, August 7. Since I probably can’t even fit my head, much less my whole body, into a size 2 dress, I respectfully take myself out of the running.

Happy reading!
