TWO webisodes premier tomorrow!

This from the official NBC press release:

NBC’s hit comedy “The Office” (Thursdays, 9:30 – 10:00 p.m. ET, moving to 8:30-9:00 p.m. ET in the fall) goes digital when the first two of 10, original stand-alone webisodes premiere on NBC.com on Thursday, July 13.

In the first webisode, each about two-three minutes, the Dunder Mifflin accountants — Angela (Angela Kinsey), Kevin (Brian Baumgartner) and Oscar (Oscar Nuñez) — discover that $3000 is missing from the Scranton office, and no one is above suspicion as the crack team of numbers crunchers tries to solve the mystery — before turning on each other.

Then, in the second webisode, while the accountants suspect that Michael is responsible for the theft, they have to question the other staffers first, beginning with Phyllis (Phyllis Smith). Rainn Wilson, Melora Hardin, Kate Flannery, Leslie David Baker and David Denman also star.

Find both episodes at NBC.com tomorrow …

Watch for The Office to come home

This just in from the Wilkes Barre Times-Leader:

While it’s just in the rumor stages, the word on the street is that the cast of the Emmy-nominated “The Office” may descend upon its “hometown” of Scranton to shoot some scenes … it might involve footage of the lively St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

Well, you know that Angela probably won’t attend the parade — she thinks green is whorish. ;)

This news is pretty much in line with what we knew already. I’ll add this little nugget to the Season 3 post.

Rainn on Conan and Regis

  • Just a reminder that Rainn appears on ‘Late Night with Conan O’Brien’ tonight. Other guests include Stephen Colbert and Lil’ Ed and the Blues Imperials. I’ve confirmed this at NBC.com, TVGuide.com, Yahoo TV, and my TiVo. It’s a little confusing, because the show is on Wednesday late night and appears on the Wednesday schedule, but because the show starts after midnight, the correct date of the show is Thursday, July 13th.
  • Rainn will also appear on ‘Live with Regis and Kelly’ tomorrow morning.
  • As for tomorrow night, Brian alerted me to the fact that NBC.com is no longer listing The Secret as part of the Thursday night schedule, so as Jim says, that’s what I’ll be working on the rest of the day. ;)

Original stars to visit The Office

From this morning’s headlines at contactmusic.com:

The British stars of the original The Office show are set to visit the US version of the hit comedy to shoot cameo roles. Ben Silverman, who executive produces the American version for NBC, claims employees of Slough, England paper company Wernham Hogg could find themselves sharing an office with Scranton, Pennsylvania company Dunder Mifflin.

Silverman tells the New York Post newspaper, “There’s a lot of love between (the casts and crews) of the two versions of the show.” “Expect some cameos from the UK paper company.” While Silverman refuses to name which stars will be appearing, he does say the show’s creator Ricky Gervais, who played cringeworthy boss David Brent in the UK version, won’t be on the US comedy anytime soon. He says, “We’re going to save the big man for now.”

Oh boy oh boy oh boy!
