I haven’t heard of these awards either, but hey I’m happy they’re nominated!
Up against 4 great 1-hour shows…I’m pulling for the little guy!
I’ve never heard of this group or these awards before, but I’m psyched. And “Program of the Year” — that sounds like a pretty big deal, does it not? :)
W007. Wow, its a real honor to be nominarted up against those shows.

WOW. Stephen vs John vs Steve. It’s going to be funny seeing who wins that one!
Oops, He doesn’t spell Jon with a “h.”
I guess I just got too used to spelling “John Krasinski” ;)
We’ve got this. Pssh. Piece of cake.
Whoa…the Program of the Year category is filled with some HEAVY hitters…great job!!!!!!!! Man, just to be mentioned with those other shows is unbelievable.
The fact that “The Office” is the only comedy to get a Program of the Year nomination bodes well for its chances in the Outstanding Achievement in Comedy category…
A side note: I love the category name “Individual Achievement in Comedy”. Not one for the boys and one for the girls. Yeah Lauren! (ok…my vote’s still for SC.)
