Saturday Night Live made host Martin Freeman reprise two roles at once last night, and because Martin Freeman is very talented he did just that, returning to The British Office, which is what it is officially called, in the character of Bilbo Baggins.
The Office was built on referential humor, but its biggest trademark was its signature, silent cutaway shot. So after cataloguing every pop culture reference made on the show, two guys with a lot of time on their hands created the "Stare Machine," a database of cutaways, sorted by every human emotion under the sun.
The Office Time Machine, a year-and-a-half labor of love by Joe Sabia, collects every reference in The Office, sorts them by year, and puts them all into video supercuts. This level of obsessive detail has to be seen to be believed.
Angus T. Jones may have apologized for his faith-based anti-Two and a Half Men rant, but that doesn't mean his fellow TV actors are about to let him live it down.
During a conference call with reporters this afternoon, The Office executive producer Greg Daniels dropped a bombshell announcement: The upcoming ninth season will be the show's last.
It was tense for a while there, but after last night's word that NBC has picked up 30 Rock and Community for additional — albeit abbreviated — seasons, today brings news that their Thursday night siblings Parks & Recreation and The Office have been renewed as well.
NBC's The Office may be terminally ill as far as longtime fans are concerned, but the network isn't quite ready to pull the plug just yet.
Just like the weekend, the 63rd Primetime Emmys are history. This year's telecast was hosted by Glee's Jane Lynch and aired live on Fox from the Nokia Theater in Los Angeles. Despite Alec Baldwin's last-minute pullout, pretty much every small screen star showed up to celebrate television's biggest night.
It's a sad inevitability. No matter how hard you try, how accurately you plan, how much you control what you eat, it's going to happen at some point: you will have to poop at work. It's where the biological meets the professional and it's always, pardon the expression, a shit show. Let's try to make it easier, shall…
Yes, ladies and germs, you might just be seeing a little more of Mr. Manganiello. Also today: bad news for Kat Von D, good news for Josh Groban, and this summer is going to save the movie industry.
You thought you were done with Carrie B. and her shoe-loving ways, but you are not. Also today: J.Lo is officially in, ABC is maybe out, Sarah Silverman is in-demand, and Katy Perry is the best at being the worst.
You've probably never lost any sleep wondering what would happen if someone created a title sequence for The Office in the same style as the opening credits of '80s mainstay Dallas. But someone did it, anyway, and it's pretty awesome. [via NYM]
Welcome to August, everyone! It's the month where not one single thing gets done at anyone's job anywhere in the world. But just because there is nothing to do doesn't mean you can just sit at your desk and do nothing. Here's a guide to making yourself look busy without troubling with any actual work.
I know you hate your asshole boss, the one who is always yelling at you and making snide remarks. I hate him too. But guess what, he's actually making you work harder and work smarter. At least that's what science says.
Ever wonder what The Office would look like if it were transplanted to Kabul? Here's the trailer for The Ministry, which will soon premiere on Afghanistan's largest television network, Tolo TV.

On tonight's extended episode of The Office, Michael Scott—the lovingly buffoonish boss portrayed for the last seven years by Steve Carell—said his final goodbyes to the folks at Dunder Mifflin. And when it came to those goodbyes, Michael saved the best—a last-minute airport bear hug—for last. Here are the emotional…
Tonight is Steve Carell's final episode of The Office, a show few people were happy to hear was being made but somehow became a critical and popular success, largely due to Carell's go-for-broke performance.
A cast member says it's on its way out next year, but other people say it's not. Who to believe?? Also today: Snow White might have finally found her huntsman, the next Batman movie heads to the big PA, and we have to talk about Hunger Games.
