Life In The Office

Backstage.com has posted an interview with a good number of the Office cast. There are some of the usual question, but there are also some new stories. When asked if they “ever communicate with each other in character?” Jenna told this little story:

Phyllis used to sit at her desk and make fake sales calls. I kid you not, one time the director yelled “cut,” and people started getting up and milling around, and she finished her call. She hadn’t made the sale yet. She kept going.

It’s a fun interview to read…especially if you’re looking for a little Office fix this holiday weekend.

Link: Method To “The Office” Madness

Last night I was reading thru my latest issue of Time Magazine. It was the year end issue where they name the person of the year and top ten lists from the year. When I got to the “10 Best TV Shows” I was expecting to see The Office. And I did. (But don’t ask me what that picture is doing in the middle of the Office tidbit.)

There’s nothing special in that little article. It’s the same thing we’ve written and seen a hundred times. But, I love anytime that I see The Office mentioned in popular shows or magazines. I feel like it’s our little engine that could.

Update: LITO reader Tim just sent in an article that he scanned from Stuff Magazine. This one has Kevin and Angela telling you how to plan an office party for Christmas. Surely this was written before Angela totally bombed on her party planning duties. You can read this scanned article here.
