Ohio State University’s The Lantern scores an interview with Greg Daniels, executive producer of The Office, and B. J. Novak.
Casino Night is discussed; proceed with caution.
Read the official article here, and the rough transcript here (recorded by the reporter’s sister, Becca, who also happens to be an Office fan vid creator — check out her videos in the video playlist under “Becca Productions”).
The transcript includes Greg Daniels’ first public mention of the supersizedoffice.com petition!
Alicia: Well I guess I should ask about the finale, you’re probably not allowed to give away too much, but I heard it’s supersized, which is exciting.
Greg: And that by the way came about because a Chicago newspaper had printed something that I said in an interview about, I was just kind of being a little facetious and saying Jeff Zucker oughta supersize it because I don’t want to have to edit it, and these fans started a website called supersizedoffice.com…
Alicia: Yeah, I signed that petition.
Greg: Oh, did you? Good for you! Yeah, anyway, well they really listened to that. And that’s why we have a supersized office.
Nice!
Damn, Jennie, you’re quick! It just went to print today! I’ll try to get the rest of that transcript up tomorrow :)
Becca, and let me add that you did an EXCELLENT job transcribing the interview. It’s almost better than the final piece, I must say! ;)
