Pam Beesley on the Talk Show Circuit
Our favorite receptionist, Pam Beesley is going to be chatting it up tomorrow all over the TV. Jenna Fischer, who plays Pam on The Office will be on The Today Show tomorrow morning, Martha Stewart in the afternoon, and Conan O’Brien tomorrow night. Make sure you set your TiVos, because we all know how adorable Jenna is on these talk shows.
In addition to talking about tomorrow’s return of The Office (thank God), I’m sure we’ll hear about her upcoming movie SLiTHER, which was directed by her husband, James Gunn (Dawn of the Dead)
The White House Meets the Sunset Strip
Lots of West Wing news today here at Give Me My Remote. We just got word that Bradley Whitford, who plays Josh Lyman on The West Wing, will play a producer and recovering coke addict on Aaron Sorkin’s new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. As we mentioned before, the show is a behind the scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show. Whitford will join Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, and another West Winger, Timothy Busfield.
Early word is that the pilot script is brilliant. That early word is coming from Bill Simmons, and I pretty much pray at the alter of The Sports Guy, so I’m going to give this one a shot.
Lisa Rinna to be Back on Dancing with the Stars
She may not be doing to ramba or the salsa but Lisa Rinna will be back on Dancing with the Stars next season as co-host along with Tom Bergeron. It seems her fiesty personality won over the producers. Rinna will be the third female co-host in the season’s history. Lisa Canning was the first one let go, and now we are saying goodbye to Samantha Harris. Rumor has it that Harris will end up on Good Morning America as an entertainment reporter.
I always kind of thought Lisa Rinna was ovah, but with her stint as Logan’s mom on Veronica Mars, and now DWTS, she’s back y’all.
Supersized Office is all the Rage
It was just 2 days ago that we launched our campaign to supersize the season finale of The Office. In that short amount of time over 1,255 Office-ianados have supported our cause and left their messages for the NBC big wigs. We are super excited at the response but still hope to gather many more comments before sending them off to Jeff Zucker. If you haven’t yet left your message, please do so here.
Our efforts were not only featured in Jenna Fischer & Angela Kinsey’s MySpace blog, but also in The Chicago Tribune, and USA Today. Thanks to all who are helping to spread the word.
A West Wing Reunion
The final episodes of The West Wing will feature some very familar faces. Returning to the White House are Sam Seaborn (Rob Lowe), Amy Gardner (Mary Louise Parker), Nancy McNally (Anna Deavere Smith), Ainsley Hayes (Emily Proctor), Joey Lucas (Marlee Maitlin), Bob Russell (Gary Cole), John Hoynes (Tim Matheson), Danny Concannon (Timothy Busfield), and Lizzy Bartlet (Anabeth Gish).
Although it has been confirmed that Rob Lowe will be back for the last two episodes, there’s no word as to when the other special guest will appear. Something tells me that they would all make an appearance at Leo’s funeral.
Supersize My Office!
Give Me My Remote is teaming up with Northern Attack to launch a campaign for supersizing the upcoming season finale of The Office. For those of you who haven’t heard the news, Greg Daniels mentioned in a recent interview that he’d like to air an extended season finale. I think this a great idea, and I’m guessing most of you do, too. That’s why we’ve set up an online petition to further the cause. Head on over and show your support. And please, spread the word. We’re looking to round up as many quality signatures as possible.
Tell NBC you would like your Office supersized please. Click here.
Don’t Spoil Grey’s Anatomy For Me

How do you people on the West Coast do it? I’ve got another hour and 45 minutes before Grey’s Anatomy starts for me here in California. I am so tempted to check the boards and find out what happened with MerGe. Did She-Shepherd* tell He-Shepherd* anything more about her torrid affair with McSteamy? Did Alex and Izzie have dirty eyes again? Oh the suspense is killing me. But I won’t do it. I won’t be spoiled. But I hope you guys are around a little later to chat with me about it in the forums.
P.S. I’m watching Dancing with the Stars. But yeah, I read I spoiler & already know who won. I just couldn’t resist.
*All credit to TvGasm for the new nicknames…I thought they were pretty damn clever.
