Written about Writers

We've got two articles about two of the amazing writers on staff at The Office for you to check out:

First, Vanity Fair has posted a Q&A with none other than Brent Forrester. To read that article, go HERE...

Second, The New York Times did a feature on writer (and everybody's favorite diversity seminar leader) Larry Wilmore (pictured above with Melora Hardin). Office Fans will remember Larry as Mr. Brown from the episode "Diversity Day" in season one. To read that article, go HERE...

Kaling and Forrester Have New Web Series

According to our friends, The Hollywood Reporter, Brent Forrester and Mindy Kaling have signed on for new web projects with a company called 60Frames.

"A new company fronted by former UTA agent Brent Weinstein is launching the biggest slate of professionally produced originals to ever hit the Internet.

60Frames Entertainment is introducing seven shortform video series that feature contributions from writers and talent drawn from TV programming at NBC and Comedy Central....

The projects first out of the gate at 60Frames include "Erik the Librarian Mysteries," from "The Office" producer Brent Forrester, about a demented librarian. The series also features "Office's" Mindy Kaling."

"The Office" Mentioned in Leno's Monologue

The Late Night talk shows came back LIVE last night. Conan, Dave and Jay all went live.

In Jay Leno's monologue, written by himself because his writers are still on strike, he shows us a spoof picture of Jeff Zucker's house (Head Honcho at NBC)...

And then showed us spoof video of "Writer's Town" where the writers live. How can they fit all those brilliant Office writers in that one little shack?

LITO Interviews Gene Stupnitsky

Our good friend Donna, over at LifeInTheOffice.com, scored a great interview with current out of work Office writer - Gene Stupinsky!

"Gene: The fact that a reality show is replacing us bothers me less than the face that so many Americans want to spend time with Donald Trump in their homes."
