Idris Alba Interview On NPR's Fresh Air

NPR's "Fresh Air" program recently spoke with Idris Alba.

" Actor Idris Elba is best known for his stint on HBO's acclaimed drama The Wire, where he played Russell "Stringer" Bell, a drug dealer and aspiring real-estate mogul.

Although "Stringer" never made it in the corporate world, Elba will soon be donning a suit: Starting next week, he'll play Michael Scott's new boss in NBC's popular prime-time comedy The Office. The trade journal Variety reported in January that he'll be with the show for a six-episode arc, playing "a no-nonsense hire at Dunder Mifflin's corporate office who will throw Michael Scott into turmoil."

You Can Miss "Miss March" - But If You Go - Craig Robinson Is Worth It

Nearly every review of "Miss March", an attempt at an Apatow-like sex comedy, has been horrible.

However, nearly every review also says that Craig Robinson steals the movie! No big surprise to us Office fans!

One such example comes from Examiner.com:

"Now, even though Miss March was largely disappointing, there were a few highlights. Like I said, most of the jokes fell flat, but there were a few occasions where I laughed out loud at jokes that were legitimately funny. The one character that was consistently hilarious throughout the flick was Horsed**k.MPEG, played perfectly by Craig Robinson, better known as Darryl on The Office. On The Office, Robinson steals almost every scene he's in and that's exactly the case here, as was also the case in Pineapple Express and Zack and Miri Make a Porno. It's easy to see why Robinson is quickly becoming a go-to actor for a supporting character role."

Have you seen "Miss March"? Do you agree Craig was the only bright spot?

BJ Novak Discusses Web Comedy At SXSW

The blog, NewTeeVee, has a great report from a panel at this weekend's SXSW that discussed Web Comedy vs TV Comedy.

One of the panelists, along side writers from the web, The Colbert Report and more, was our own B.J. Novak.

"Web viewing will decrease the value of TV syndication. Instead of watching whatever happens to be on, as Novak put it, “people don’t watch stuff they don’t want on the Internet.”
