Out of Office: Amy Poehler Gets Other NBC Sitcom | Today's News: Our Take | 7/21/2008
Remember that Office spin-off that Amy Poehler was rumored to be circling? Well, it's not dead yet, but Poehler won’t be on it, as she has nabbed another NBC show.NBC Entertainment co-chairman Ben Silverman announced Monday that they've locked in Poehler to a sitcom commitment to be produced by Office vets Greg Daniels and Mike Schur. It's unclear what the Poehler show is about. When pressed for details about a premise or setting, Silverman only said: "It's going to be... funny."The timeline for when this new show might air was also unclear. Lorne Michaels said at Sunday's Saturday Night Live panel that the currently pregnant Poehler would appear on the show until she gave birth — some time after the election hopefully, he joked.

Wilson then recalled, "We did an improvisation with me and Jenna [Fischer], where I told her that I had an ex-girlfriend stationed in Kuwait City... a reservist.

Ask Matt | 11/12/2007
A few strike-related questions for you. I'm familiar with the basic reasons behind the writers' strike but not the fine details, so I'm still wondering why the late-night talk shows are affected. Conan, Letterman, Leno, Jon Stewart and the others are all accomplished comedy writers and I'm sure could write their own monologues and comedy skits.
