The Amazing Race is Moving to Wednesdays

I’m sorry but I’m going to have to hire a personal assistant to help me keep track of all my shows since they seem to keep moving on me.  CBS annouced today that The Amazing Race is moving from its Tuesday, 10pm time slot to Wednesday nights @ 8pm.  Ironically enough, I don’t think I watch anything at 8pm on Wednesday so this is going to work out just fine for me.  And the move allows me to get to bed a tad earlier on Tuesday nights.

Can someone tell me if The Amazing Race rules have changed?  Will all the last place teams to Philiminated? Phil keep saying “the last team to arrive may be eliminated”, but so far none have been saved.

Oh and on that note, I HATE HATE HATE Lake & Michelle.  They are so freakin’ annoying.  I thought I was going to loathe the hippies, but they are kind of fun.  I kinda love them.

John Krasinski & Mandy Moore to Wed?

 

Ok don’t panic.  John Krasinski is still a single man, and Mandy Moore & Zach Braff are still very much in love, but John & Mandy may play an engaged couple in the upcoming movie License to Wed.  Mandy Moore and Robin Williams have signed on, and Krasinski is in talks…but hopefully he will be signed on soon.

The story revolves around a young couple (Moore & Krasinski) whose wedding plans are interrupted when the pushy minister (Williams) of the bride’s family church orders the pair to complete a two-week prenup course. They must pass the class if they want to marry in his church. The groom fails the course and loses the girl but fights to win her back.

The film is being directed by Ken Kwapis, who Office-ianados know has directed many episodes of The Office inlcuding “Booze Cruise”, “Diversity Day” & “The Fire”

NBC’s The Office: The More You Know Videos and More

Yeah, today might have been Michael Scott’s birthday, but I’m thinking that the all new video section of The Office website was really in honor of my birthday.  Thank you NBC.  That was so sweet of you. 10 days late, but still sweet.

Seriously, you hace to check out this new section of the site.  It’s packed..I mean packed with videos.  Deleted scenes, cast interviews, episode outtakes, just tons of stuff for an Office-ianado.  And make sure you check out the hysterical April Fool’s Day “The More You Know” PSAs.  My favorites are the one they showed tonight during the show (Relationship), and BJ’s “The Worst Thing You Could Ever Do”…OMG!!! 

So head over to the NBC.com: The Office - Videos and start watching!!!

P.S.  The could have picked a better image of J. Kras for that first shot.  Not the best face…ah, he’s still adorable!!

Checking in at The Office

Sorry I’ve been a bit quiet today.  Super busy at work!  I just wanted to remind everyone that tonight is a brand spanking new episode of The Office.  It’s Michael’s birthday, and we know how much attention he needs on a normal day, so I can only imagine how obnoxious he will be on his birthday.  But Kevin has some news too, and it might just distract the rest of the Dunder Mifflinites from Michael.  Uh oh.

In other Office news, Jenna Fischer (Pam Bessley) will be on The TONIGHT SHOW with Jay Leno tonight.  Go Jenna!!!  I’m sure she will be cute and bubbly per usual.

And for those of you who keep asking, I’m sorry to report that I have NO IDEA when my Q&A with BJ Novak will be posted.  BJ emailed me 3 weeks ago and promised he would have it done that week.  The guy is busy, and I’m just a little TV blog, so I’m not sure I can bug him anymore than I have, but yeah…I’m bummed too.

Still no official word from NBC on whether or not they are Supersizing The Office.  The site is still live, and every comment helps, so make sure you leave you two cents if you haven’t already.

Update: Thanks for the heads up coverstock.  I NEVER watch Jay Leno or Letterman (unless of course the cast of The Office is on)

New Pic of Jennifer Garner & Ben Affleck’s Baby Violet

Someone just sent me this ADORABLE picture of Alias’s Jennifer Garner with her daughter, Violet. Sean Preston move aside, Violet is one cutie patootie!!! Daddy Ben Affleck is actually in Boston scoping out locations for a movie he will be shooting here this spring/summer.

Give Me My Remote! I Want to Watch…

Lots of FANTASTIC shows to choose from tonight. You know, if it were legal, I might considering marrying my TiVo. So what’s a girl to watch on a Wednesday night…

American Idol - Who is going to get booted tonight? There are a few for which I would not shed a tear. Yeah I am talking about you Ace “the Scar” Young, Lisa “Simba” Tucker, and Bucky“Please let me win American Idol so I can afford some braces” Covington

Veronica Mars - All new ep! The Rapes of Graff - which just happens to be the favorite episode title of Rob Thomas. Speaking of, I have a ton of great stuff from last night’s online press conference, but I’ve been so busy with my real job I haven’t had a chance to get to it yet. Sorry…I suck!!

Lost - Looks like I will be catching up with the Losties, the Tailies, and the Others late night. I haven’t watched last week’s episode yet. I know, I know, but I just haven’t found the time. You know how many shows I missed during my 5 days away?

One Tree Hill(?) - Ah, it’s been a looooong time since I’ve caught up with the kids of OTH. The Sophia Bush/Chad Michael Murray debacle just sent me running to an opposing network. Oh yeah, that and the horrendous writing. But after seeing Nathan in LA, I am reminded that OTH does have some eye candy. This show is on my maybe list.

What do people without TiVo’s watch on Wednesday nights? Well, I suppose it’s Lost and American Idol, right? Skip Idol, tape Lost and watch Veronica. Done and done!!!

UPDATE: John Krasinski IS the Voice of Ask.com

 I should have known better than to go against my gut instinct when it comes to John Krasinski.  So after all the hullabaloo yesterday, Ask.com just sent me an email letting me know that it IS in fact John Krasinski’s voice we hear in their commercials.

Check out the email I just got.

We contacted you recently regarding John Krasinski’s role in the Ask.com advertisements. At this time, we are running several ads in both the UK and the US and John Krasinski does provide the voice in our US advertisement. We regret any confusion and hope that you enjoy our TV ads.

 Yes, Ask.com, I do enjoy your ads. Click here to watch one of John’s Ask ads.

Posted by GMMR on March 28th 

If you’ve seen any of the latest ads for Ask.com, ya know, the ones with the monkeys doing searches, then you probably noticed that guy doing the voice over sounds EXACTLY like John Krasinski of The Office.  I’m probably John’s biggest fan and I was convinced it was him. As were countless other Office-ianados.  So in the name of journalism (ha) I went directly to the source to ask.  I emailed Ask.com directly.

As it turns out, John Krasinski is not the voice behind Ask.com.  Here’s the response I got today:

We appreciate you taking the time to write to Ask.com regarding our advertisement. We have been told that John Krasinski did not do the voice of the commercial. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.

I still think J. Kras is the man behind the commercials.  Until he denies it himself, I refuse to believe those silly folks over at Ask.com. What do they know…they only make the commercials?  Maybe they were confused by which commercial I was inquiring about.  It just has to be him.  I know someone emailed Jenna Fischer and asked her to ask John, so until then, I’m going to keep watching and re-watching the commercials on my Tivo over and over again.  Ah, kidding…well kind of…no I am…really.
