Novak, will be featured in quick wraparound sketches designed to match the theme of each new series whose highlights are introduced during the program.

Breaking News!! NBC Supersizes the Season Finale of The Office

In a press release issued today, NBC has announced that the season finale of The Office will in fact be Supersized!! Looks like our efforts paid off. I’m sure this has much more to do with the quality writing and superb acting than our little petition, but either way this is fantastic news!!
So what does this mean? I know that we were really hoping for a truly supersized season finale, as in one hour, but I’ll take what I can get. The show will be an extra ten minutes long, running from 9:20-10pm on Thursday, May 11th.
Did you know that the season finale was written by Steve Carell? Guess he really wet his chops writing the screenplay for Threat level Midnight. Check out the press release about the finale as well as a brief episode description (contains minor spoilers):
IN SUPER-SIZED SEASON FINALE WRITTEN BY SERIES STAR STEVE CARELL, ‘OFFICE’ MATES LET IT ROLL — In the super-sized season finale, Michael (Golden Globe winner Steve Carell) and the Dunder Mifflin crew hold a “Casino Night” for charity in their warehouse — and take some big gambles. Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fischer, John Krasinski, B.J. Novak, Leslie David Baker, Brian Baumgartner, Kate Flannery, Angela Kinsey, Oscar Nunez, Phyllis Smith, Melora Hardin and David Denham also star. The episode was written by series star Steve Carell.
Thanks to everyone that took the time to sign the Supersize The Office petition. If nothing else, it was was great for the writers, producers and actors to see how much their fans appreciate them.
A special thanks to James from Northern Attack for taking my little idea and making it happen. You rock!! Thanks also to Jenna Fischer, Angela Kinsey & Brian Baumgartner for supporting our efforts and directing people to the petition. Love you guys!!!

Comments Off on No Summer Break for Staff of NBC’s The Office
This is the best damn news I have heard all week. Looks like we are going to get a little Summer love from the folks at The Office. I’m such a HUGE fan of the Dunder Mifflin Accounting Staff, and I’m glad to see they are getting the recognition they deserve. Congrats to all of them…especially my MySpace friends Brian Baumgartner and Angela Kinsey, who have always been kind to Give Me My Remote.
