Joe: Can you tell when Amy Ryan makes an appearance next season?
Jenna: Her voice makes an appearance in episode 5 I think.
Thomas: If The Office is shot in L.A., how do they make the snow for the outdoor winter scenes?
Jenna: They use snow machines. And they cover the ground in fake plastic white mounds of some weird thing. And then put fake snow on top to make it look like a big pile of snow. One of the coolest things was the scene in the parking lot when we all got in a snowball fight. The cast stayed late and we all just kept playing in the snow!
Michael Scott Paper Co.: Jenna, all the winter scenes in the office where you wear winter clothing, is it usually hot during that time or is it actually cold?
Jenna: Yes, in LA it gets VERY hot from August – October. And because we have to shoot in advance, we are shooting for “winter” in a Los Angeles summer. This week I had to shoot a scene in 102 degrees but pretend like it was cold. I sweat through my coat!
Graig: Do you ever film on location outside of LA? I heard a rumor that you did some filming in Scranton last season.
Jenna: We have never filmed in Scranton. But we would like to!
Carol: you and John make the relationship seem so real! When I first started watching I though you were really a couple, but it’s because you’re great actors!
Jenna: Thank you. John and I have wonderful chemistry together. It’s a blessing to work with someone where it is so effortless. We are very good friends but have never been a couple in real life.
Roger: which episode of the office is your favorite?
Jenna: I love the baby episode!
Michael Scott Paper Co.: When does shooting wrap up for Season 7?
Jenna: We will shoot until April 2011.
Michelle_Fischer: Jenna, I just got your autograph in the mail the other day, and wanted to say thank you! So thank you :)
Jenna: I have a box of stuff in my office waiting to be signed! I think I have stuff from 6 months back! You are lucky! I’m glad I got yours to you!
Ricky: will you guys be auctioning off a set visit to the office anytime soon?
Jenna: I am hosting the Kitten Rescue Fundraiser on September 11th in Los Angeles. I will be auctioning off a set visit to The Office at their live auction that night.
smalltownlawyer: Jenna, just curious ….. which Office related question do you get tired of answering over and over again
Jenna: The questions we get asked the most are “What’s it like to work with Steve Carell” and “How much do you improvise.” Neither one really bother me. But those are most popular.
Jenna: Sad Happy Sucker will run for 8 weeks and then we have a short hiatus in November. I’m not sure if I’ll do a movie or just fall sleep for a month!
Just left the chat. Jenna was gracious as always. She chatted for over a hour when she has the opening of her play tonight. She is so great to her fans. We are very lucky.
I just left the chat. OMG Jenna is the best!!! She was really answering questions that came at her, and not just go around them like other people, she is GREAT!!!!!!!
[from tanster: thanks!]
Saw the play last night. It’s really funny and I would definitely recommend it for everyone.
I just love Jenna! I’m even more excited for the Season 6 DVD now..the blooper reels are always my favorite..their laughter is contagious! :)
