To Tell the Schrute: Office Spin-off Talk Is Bogus

Responding to a FoxNews.com report (which I never bothered passing along to you) that new NBC overlord Ben Silverman is looking to spin off The Office's Dwight into his own show, a source close to Mr. Schrute's portrayer, Rainn Wilson, tells TVGuide.com that the "buzz" is "totally made up... a complete farce."And here we thought our autographed bobblehead Dwights were about to rocket in eBay value. Drat.
