“Wait for Me”..what a lovely video. And the two articles about JK, he seems like a wonderfully, level-headed, thoughtful and gracious young man. Makes me like him that much more.
John K., the new Fletch?! I thought I couldn’t love anyone else more in the role than Zach Braff, but I LOVE this. How perfect! Hope it’s not just a rumor.
The “Stretchy-shrinky thingie” has been around for years, just not on the NBC store page. It is a Hoberman “mini-sphere” in the “rainbow” color-scheme. I have one on my desk too. :) And just a bit of trivia – in the first season they also used a Hoberman mini-sphere, but it was the “rings” color-scheme. Slightly different.
It’s so sad that I know that.
Pam Pong is now one of my favorite songs and the fan video was wonderful the perfect JAM video.
The PamPong song is perfect and so was Ladama’s video!
Thank you so much for these lists…love the Time video and I know I would never find tidbits like this on my own. Great job Tanster!
Yeah, I used to have one of those “stretchy, shrinky things”, but I haven’t been able to find it since I have moved. :( Hopefully it’ll turn up someday! I know when it does, I’ll have one of those Darryl moments in the warehouse. :)
And oh yeah… That Office Convention Website is kinda driving me nuts. I’m kind of glad I’m not able to go because if I have reserved a hotel room or bought plane tickets and by this time there’s still hardly any info., I’d be even more peeved. Cuz I mean, people don’t even know how much these tickets are. They could be up to $100 or more! If I go to one of these conventions, it’ll probably be in the future because maybe things’ll be better sorted out then. And I mean, it’s only 3 1/2 months are so away. Not that much time.
I’m sure it’s been posted here before, but you can hear an interview between John Krasinski and Robin Williams at the Interview website:

Love the video! How sweet.
This site really does rock. I never have to worry if I missed anything on my favorite show and cast – and you have things on this list that I wouldn’t even think of looking for. Awesome job, tanster.
I couldn’t download “pam pong” I think they got rid of that option…how sad.
Download the song here:

Anybody catch Ricky Gervais on The Concert For Diana? He was absolutely hilarious.
Woot! Way to go SF Chronicle for doing an article on Mr. Krasinski!
Augustine, sorry it took so long for me to get it up! (That’s what she said.)
:)
Whoa!
Time (Wait for Me) that’s my fanvid up there!
Wow! It feels so surreal to see it up there on Officetally! I don’t know what to say, I feel honored. Thank you so much, thank you Tanster. Hope everyone liked it. Thank you.
Question… I clicked a couple people forward in the EW Top 100 and for Kristen Wiig it says:
“NEXT …and play John C. Reilly’s wife in Walk Hard (December).”
But, Jenna Fischer is in that role. What’s this about?
13) the great
I saw Ricky Gervais and nearly died when Gareth came out with the guitar and they sang Free Love on the Free Love Highway. I was at the gym and nearly fell off the treadmill, I was laughing so hard. That’s one of my favorite moments from the British version!
I was wondering if we would ever have an opportunity like that in the states where Michael and Dwight could reprise “Teach Your Children” from “Take Your Daughter to Work Day.”
Augustine….thanks to your video the Time song was in my head all weekend. I checked for it on iTunes and couldn’t find it….anyone know who sings it?
Ya, my Pam Pong video made it to OfficeTally! Thanks everyone (especially Sweet Diss and the Comebacks for writing the song :) )
Augustine, congrats on a fantastic job on “Time.”
I’ve had major doubts since I heard they were making a new Fletch movie, but maybe John Krasinksi could pull it off. I think Jason Lee would be a good pick, too.
I loved Jenna and Angela’s updated blogs. Wow, Angela is a true friend. It was so moving to hear how much she helped Jenna through that tough time.
Cardigan?(#19)- “Time” is by a Canadian singer named Chantal Kreviazuk.
My friend (Mexicanity) told me about the David Brent thing on the Concert for Dianna and how Ricky went into his dance. I’m sad I missed it. Has anyone Youtubed it yet?
Washingtonpost.com briefly mentions that the median age of “Office” viewers is 38 – pretty young in comparison to most other shows.
I thought you all should know that John Krasinski is not going to be Fletch. The part went to Josh Jackson (per joshuajackson.net)
Augustine & Lauren good job on the videos! I love JAM!
To Cardigan #19 – the song is by Chantal Kreviazuk. You can go to her website and download the song for free! http://myspace.com/chantalkreviazuk

^Sorry i think i might have mispelled it the 1st time
Anyone living in NYC should check out BJ Novak at Crash Test over at the UCB theatre tonight! Info can be found over at ucbtheatre.com
seat 18b (andemarg) made a fanvid set to “Pam Pong”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJQA_vjkSb0 I really like the voiceovers!
initial reviews for ‘license to wed’ are not looking good
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10007597-license_to_wed/
seat18b’s video was amazing!! i loved it!
Thanks so much for the reference to the Time song…I couldn’t download off Myspace but since I couldn’t get the darn thing out of my head I splurged at iTunes :)
i dont’ know if it was posted. but steve was on moviefone:unscripted w/ lauren graham. they mention the office :)
This is a quick article about John in today’s edition of the Boston Herald…
http://theedge.bostonherald.com/movieNews/view.bg?articleid=1009313
loved rashida’s story on michael jackson’s monkey Bubbles. and her mentioning John. hahah.
Regarding Brief Interviews, has anyone heard where John be working on the editing? They shot it in NYC, but will he be editing it there or in LA?
does anyone know tim meadows’ myspace url?
Aw, I loved that PamPong youtube! Great job, Lauren!
I really think the song should have a different name though . . . it just doesn’t seem to fit with the depth of the song.
Hey folks – I saw License to Wed on Tuesday evening and I really liked it. It wasn’t the greatest movie ever made but John is fantastic. The three stars had good chemistry and I think it had a little something for everyone, so don’t believe all the bad reviews. If you go, stay through the credits b/c they show outtakes. And on a side note, if you live in the U.S., VH1 is reairing the Concert for Diana about a billion times this week – I caught the Ricky Gervais clip and it was really funny. The crowd went nuts so the show must have been really popular over there.
With License to Wed being so bad, it’s hard to imagine John Krasinski being offered the lead in a movie. But then again, that Shia Lepoof guy got the lead in Transformers and he is a truly horrible actor.
Can’t see Tim Meadow’s Myspace page… I requested to be his friend a few days ago. I guess he denied my request :(
