Season 4 Finale
The
Office drunk is in NYC, and I'm only slightly hung over. I am here in the city that doesn't sleep with the cast that doesn't sleep. The cast of
The Office is in town for the announcement of the new season. It's the same week that our Season 4 wraps up in a nice bow [Thursday at 9 pm/ET]. I am one lucky redhead.
I am a former New Yorker and the only thing better than being back in NYC is being here with Dwight, Andy, Kevin, Phyllis, etc. I passed my old restaurant, the Red Eye Grill on 7th Ave. (across from Carnegie Hall). A lot has changed in nine years. NYC loves
The Office. I took a picture on 6th Ave. with a family who had run into and taken a photo with Kelly (aka Mindy Kaling) one hour before! Now I am just representing Dunder Mifflin, the people's paper company (what was that jingle that Darryl wrote?). We are bringing a little Scranton to the Big Apple.
The one-hour finale will be this Thursday, and get ready. We all signed confidentiality agreements so I can only say that we are going out with a
bang! We truly do have the greatest writers on TV. I am not just sucking up to get more lines, I swear. I think they have out done themselves. Twists, turns, answers and new questions.
As some of you know, a few of the
Office cast got to be talent scouts on
Last Comic Standing. Angela and Oscar did the L.A. show and Brian Baumgartner and I did the Minneapolis show. We got the cold end of that stick. It was 11 degrees below zero when we were there. The comedy was a little more cold, a littler more fresh. Well-preserved. Our episode airs June 12th, I think. I just did a bunch of publicity for
LCS with Josh Gomez from NBC's
Chuck. Josh is adorable. He plays a big geek but he is a big cutey. We had a good time talking about the comedians we watched and hand-picked to move on the finals. It was a big responsibility - people's lives change! The winners get a really good ride. They get their dream of being a stand-up on a whole new level.
Josh did the San Francisco show. Check your local listings. If you haven't watched
Chuck, you should. It is a great concept and Josh Gomez and Zach Levi are really terrific and adorable. Ladies, you enjoy!
I can't wait for you to see the season finale of our show. It is a monster. One hour. Jam-packed! Hey I said Jam, and I should have said "Jam." "Jam" is a term used by
Office superfans referring to Jim and Pam. (Together they are "Jam.") Not unlike last year's "Dwangela" referring to Dwight and Angela. Or Michael and Jan together, they are "Man." (OK, I just made that up right now. Should it be "Jichael"?)
How about Meredith and her true love, Vodka? "Mondka"? Never mind.
Thank you for watching
The Office! NBC, Thursdays. Season 4 DVDs coming late summer/early fall. We just did the commentary! You are the greatest fans in the world (and NYC, too).
Let me know what you think!
