THE OFFICE: Josh Groban Teases His Guest Spot in ‘Garden Party’

In case you needed another reason to love Twitter, Josh Groban shared during a conference call today that the social media site played a big part in him securing the guest role of THE OFFICE’s Walter Bernard Jr., younger brother of newly appointed office manager Andy.

“[THE OFFICE star/producer Mindy Kaling] direct messaged twittered me and I was shocked to hear from her,” he explained. And, as it turns out, Groban is a huge fan of the show and had time off from his tour, so he was able to accept the guest spot.

So what can you expect from the Bernard family in “Garden Party”?

THE OFFICE: Crime Aid

Ladies and gentleman, now that’s how I like my OFFICE.  Left feeling a little empty after last week’s episode, “Crime Aid” brought me back to my happy place.

THE OFFICE is at its best when it utilizes the power of the ensemble cast and last night’s episodes did that and did it well.   From the inter-office banter surrounding the robbery to the scenes as the disaster of an auction in the warehouse, the cast all had their moments (ok well maybe not Kate Flannery but I’m sure Meredith will show up in a deleted scene…she always does).

Michael and Holly are in that blissful phase of a new relationship when nothing matters in the world other than being with your new S.O. It’s all about the stolen glances and kisses.  So you can imagine that a thing like locking up the office at night so people don’t break in and steal all your stuff wouldn’t really register on to Michael and Holly’s radar.

To help raise funds to recoup the losses of his employees, Michael concocts Crime Aid (Crime Reduces Innocence. Makes Everybody Angry. I Declare), an auction in the warehouse which is “like Farm Aid. But instead of farms fighting against AIDS, it is us fighting against our own poverty”. Here’s something else he could try….filing an insurance report.  But Michael’s employees are dealing with dramas of their own which have nothing to do with their missing office supplies.

Upfront ’08 Memories – Meeting the Cast of THE OFFICE

As I continue to stroll down memory lane of the Upfronts ’08, there’s no way I can talk about my week without talking about getting to see the cast of my favorite show, THE OFFICE.

Yes, I was lucky enough to meet the cast last year, but it really doesn’t matter. I still get just as excited about seeing the collective group that make me laugh out loud every Thursday (ok and every Tuesday if we are talking TBS reruns). Just being near them I had this stupid smile on my face (as seen in the pictures below).

Now the weird thing about the Upfronts is that the stars are just kind of hanging out. They’re walking around and talking with friends, and such was the case with the cast of THE OFFICE. The first cast member I spotted was Oscar Nunez, who was sitting on a bench chatting it up with Sendhil Ramamurthy (Mohinder from ‘Heroes’). That’s when the excitement kicked in. Dunder Mifflin was in the house. After seeing Oscar, it seemed everywhere I looked there was a DMer. First Mindy Kaling, then B.J. Novak. I spotted Phyllis Smith and Leslie David Baker and then the lovely Kate Flannery. Next thing you know they were all there getting settled on the big white couch.

As the cast was one of the biggest draws at the event, there was a designated area where fans could take pictures. The line started 45 minutes before the cast even arrived.

The cast members in attendance were: Ed Helms, Leslie David Baker, Phyllis Smith, Rainn Wilson, Paul Lieberstein, Craig Robinson, Jenna Fischer, Brian Baumgartner, Oscar Nunez, Kate Flannery, John Krasinski, Creed Bratton, Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak. Steve Carell was there for the press line but he was busy rehearsing for SNL across the street. Oh and as much as I would like spinoff casting rumors, no Scott Adsit (Pete, 30 Rock) isn’t joining the cast…he just snuck in for this picture.

So here are a few pictures that I snagged that night. It’s always so surreal to be able to talk to your favorite performers up close and personal. And although it’s been said by me and countless others, the cast of THE OFFICE are genuinely nice people. Based on the smiles and laughter, they truly enjoy each other’s company, and the couldn’t have been any nicer to any of the fans who waited around for their chanced to interact with the cast of their favorite show.

TV Stars Every Which Way You Look at the NBC Upfronts

It’s going to be a bit before I’m able to upload my pictures from last night’s NBC Upfront party, but I thought I would share a few of the highlights and set the scene.

Because NBC already had revealed their 2008-09 primetime schedule a few weeks ago, they didn’t have their traditional Upfront presentation.  This year it was more of a sensory experience.  We entered Rockefeller Center and walked into the NBC Experience.  As we made our way through we were greeted with videos, artwork and even the Deal or No Deal ladies sharing the story of next year’s primetime schedule.  It was a lot to take in, but not a bad way to spend some time in line.

The next part of the experience was TV come to life.  The cooks from TOP CHEF were making appetizers, Janice Dickenson from THE JANICE DICKENSON MODELING AGENCY was taking glamour shots with us as we walked through.  The gladiators from AMERICAN GLADIATORS were jousting each other (and from what I hear, the party goers as well).  There were a lot of fun kiosks where we could pick up buttons (a few I snagged as a future giveaway), get our pictures taken as if we were in the cast of our favorite shows (which I can’t wait to show you), and even get mini footballs signed by the NBC NFL guys (I got one for my Dad).  A great time.  And did I mention this was all before we entered the party?  Yup.

The party itself was insane.  Much more crowded than last year, but a lot more celeb sightings.  It’s kind of strange to be having a drink with your friend, just chatting it up and then brushing shoulders with Christian Slater or Kyle Chandler as they walked by.  Very surreal.  A few of my favorite celebrity sightings:

8 Comments

By far the best moment of this year’s SAG Awards was when the cast of THE OFFICE, my very favorite show on television, took home the award for Outstanding Cast in an Ensemble Series (Comedy). It was a pleasant surprise and I think the cast was a bit surprised as well.

Here are some pics from the cast of THE OFFICE on the red carpet on last night’s SAG Awards. I’m having MAJOR technical difficulties today which is precluding me from sharing the ton of photos I have of the cast from last night. I figure something was better than nothing, but I do sincerely apologize and hope to have the rest up soon.

Congrats once again to this fabulous group of actors: Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, Angela Kinsey, Ed Helms, Brian Baumgartner, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Leslie David Baker, Kate Flannery, Creed Bratton, BJ Novak, Paul Lieberstein, Mindy Kaling, Melora Hardin and Craig Robinson. We miss you and can’t wait to see you (in non-reruns) soon!

THE OFFICE Cast – Red Carpet Arrivals….

THE OFFICE – Live from the Red Carpet
The video isn’t great, but hopefully it will serve a purpose until better quality videos are available.

Video #1: Ed Helms, BJ Novak, Jenna Fischer, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Brian Baumgartner and John Krasinski in various red carpet moments from last night’s SAG Awards

Video #2: John Krasinski talks to TV Guide’s Lisa Rinna on the red carpet (not sure how he kept his eyes on her face and not her inappropriate cleavage…nice job, John)

More pics from the ceremony and after party will be available once I figure out a way to beat this blog into an inch of its life and get things working again.
