The title says it all. On September 29, The New Adventures of Old Christine’s Emmy-winning leading lady Julia Louis-Dreyfus will drop by The Jay Leno Show.

Also joining the host on that episode is another huge comedy favorite: Soap, Saturday Night Live, City Slickers, etcetera, etcetera veteran Billy Crystal.
Catch the fun at 10pm ET on NBC and, if you’re game, wait around until 11:34pm ET for The Office’s John Krasinski and The King of Queens‘ Patton Oswalt on The Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien.

Well, it looks like H.R. man Toby really is leaving, after twelve years at Dunder Mifflin, and for Costa Rica, too. Despite the fact that he despises him, Michael wants to throw a big farewell party for Toby to celebrate having a huge weight lifted off his back. Obsessively frugal Angela is against a huge to-do due to a lack of funds, which leaves Phyllis in charge of finding an anti-gravity machine per Michael’s request after the boss hands over a shoeful of dough he’s saved.
Toby’s replacement, Holly (Academy Award nominee Amy Ryan, …read more

If you’ve been hankering for more of Michael and Dwight and Pam and Jim and everybody else on The Office, tonight is your night.
After pulling Monk and Psych from the schedule last week due to unimpressive ratings, NBC has replaced the repurposed cable programming with a two-hour block of Dunder Mifflin repeats tonight.
Each hour will feature one of those double episodes the sitcom is known for: both installments of the fourth-season premiere “Fun Run” at 8pm EST, followed by the two parts of “Dunder-Mifflin Infinity” at 9pm.

We get off to a typically funny “Michael is an idiot” start when, excited to be going to a job fair at Pam’s alma mater Valley View High School, he declares Daryl can hire some students to work in the warehouse and nobody has to worry about giving them internships since they’re definitely not going to college. Daryl’s instant, spot-on comeback is to ask Michael which college he attended. Michael ignores the question, of course, because he didn’t go to college either, presumably.
While Michael lugs Daryl (blue-collar rep), Oscar (accounting rep), and Pam …read more

While MICHAEL bemoans the poor quality of the women people have been setting him up with — according to him, they lack a certain Cindy Crawfordness — RYAN takes a trip to the Scranton branch after informing everyone they’ll have to work the next day, a Saturday. Why? The goal is to reformulate the sales they’ve been making by phone as website sales through Dunder Mifflin Infinity, a change that will get the sales reps no commission.
As the staffers complain during the unenthusiastic meeting Michael calls with Ryan, it’s not just switching the …read more

Uh-oh! An office fight of sorts is in store on the May 1 episode of The Office involving Michael — of course — and Stanley.
I can’t imagine how the title “Did I Stutter?” relates to that, but I have full confidence that I know which Dunder Mifflin-ite is going to come out on top. Hint: Not the eternally annoying one.
The Office airs Thursdays on NBC at 9pm EST.

The April 24 episode of The Office is all about misplaced intentions and ruined plans … again.
On “Night Out,” Michael and Dwight attempt to have just that, and unfortunately for Ryan in New York, they want him to come along. Sounds like good times … for us.
While Michael and Dwight are busy infiltrating his life, the employees back in Scranton are busy hating on Ryan for ruining their weekend. I bet payback is gonna be fun to watch, too, because you know the office crew isn’t going to take that sitting down.

The April 17 episode of The Office is just plain weird, which hopefully means it’ll be twice or even three times the funny.
On “The Chairmodel” (the episode has been retitled; it was originally called “Parking,” which is why I’m posting the description again), silly Andy and Kevin take advantage of boss Michael’s fixation on a chair model (yes, I wrote that correctly) to get into a big confrontation with other nearby businesses over — wait for it — parking spaces. Apparently, they can be stolen, and Andy and Kevin want Dunder-Mifflin’s back.

The Con
Bad, Michael Scott! Bad, Michael Scott!
The bossman fakes an order from corporate for the Scranton branch to work late one Friday night, all so he can corner JIM and PAM and force them to come to his house for a three-couple dinner party. They’ve already gotten out of such an invitation about nine times, but they aren’t so lucky now, to Jim’s great, great consternation. Poor DWIGHT also gets the blues when he learns one of the invited couples is ANDY and ANGELA, and, worse, he can’t attend because MICHAEL claims …read more

If you’ve been hiding in your closet or visiting a faraway planet the last couple of weeks, you might not know that much-adored Office star John Krasinski has been making waves in a new feature film, alongside Academy Award winners George Clooney and Renée Zellweger.
The movie in question is called Leatherheads, and although it hasn’t performed as well as expected at the box office, there’s a good chance it will do well on DVD — just from all the women rushing to buy it because of Clooney and Krasinski’s presence.
Krasinski showed up — always a good thing — for a …read more
