David Denman in "Gary Unmarried"

The CBS comedy, Gary Unmarried, starring Jay Mohr had a special guest star this week from Dunderland. David Denman played Mohr's girlfriends' ex-husband. Poor David he always plays someone's ex, doesn't he?

You can watch the episode, which is quite funny, by clicking HERE.

What did you guys think, does he remind of Roy in this show too?

Warehouse Men in Fan Boys

Craig Robinson and David Denman both appear in the upcoming comedy entitled "Fan Boys". It's a movie about some Star Wars uber fans attempting to break into George Lucas' Skywalker Ranch and looks quite funny from the trailer which has finally showed up online.

Employee Transfer - Deleted Scene #3

The Families' Thoughts - Employee Transfer

Once again the members of the other 4 families of the Scranton Business Park have convened to discuss the activities over at Dunder Mifflin. We are joined by Bob Vance of Vance Refrigeration, Paul "Cool Guy" Faust of Disaster Kits Limited, W.B. Jones of W.B. Jones Heating and Cooling and Bill Cress of Cress Tool and Dye.

So, without further ado, we present the thoughts of the men who run the Scranton Business Park, sent in directly from them about the "Employee Transfer" episode.

Vance's View: I always knew that DARYL was one tough son-of-a-gun and watching his heroics last night reminded me of the time that I was on an expedition to a little garden spot known as: VIET NAM -- and the Lieutenant got hit out on patrol and I had to carry him back. An 'EMPLOYEE TRANSFER' of another kind and if you've never tried carrying a 200 lbs. wounded, bleeding, screaming friend five miles through enemy territory in a driving rain while the wily-boys in the black pajamas are shooting AK-47's at you, you should, because it's a real TESTER -- much like spending 14 hours in a truck with Scott as he gets DUMPED AGAIN. In fact, they are so similar that I can't decide which is worse; but I do know a HERO when I see one and his name is Daryl.
Sincerely, BOB VANCE, VANCE REFRIGERATION

Cool Guy Paul's Cool Thoughts: Sorry all…I did not have the time to watch so I could give you my comments as Dwight sent in an emergency request for me to put together a Cornell University Disaster Kit. Dwight requests custom kits all the time and I gave up on saying no to him. Whatever he requests I tell him no problem and that I think his ideas are genius. Then I throw something together and sell it to him. For this one I simply ordered a bunch of stuff from the University bookstore, added some water proof matches and a field guide to edible plants in the Upstate New York area, marked it up 400% and shipped it off to him.

W.B. Jones' Grade A Badass Review: Who the hell makes decisions at Dunder Mifflin Corporate? Michael is way over his head running the Scranton Branch. He's a complete and utter wuss when it comes to taking charge of anything - especially his own life. Dwight should be running that operation, he has the drive, nerve, moxie and strategic thinking to achieve objectives and to get things done. In fact since Holly's gone, Dwight should be promoted to head of personnel. Then maybe you'd see how efficiently things would run at Dunder Mifflin, even in spite of Michael.

Cress' Convo: Leave me alone!

As always we have to thank the men BEHIND the men behind Scranton - Bobby Ray Shafer (Bob Vance), Paul Faust (Cool Guy Paul), Barry Sigismondi (W.B. Jones) and Terrence Beasor (Bill Cress) for their amazing willingness to share with us and all the Dunderheads out there!

One of my favorite things about 'The Office' is that the ensemble players get as much love as the 'stars' of the show.

Proof? NBC has new shirts for Angela, Kevin and Creed. Cute little cartoon versions of them with a catchy quote.

Craig Robinson - Live

Hello my fellow Dundermaniacs!

Last night I took in Craig Robinson's stand-up act at Southern Connecticut State University and it was a riot!

Upon taking my seat you could already see the perfect setup for Craig on the stage. A single chair, a microphone and an electric keyboard for him to play.

After a lukewarm reaction to the opening comedian, Craig was introduced and the audience met him with a roar of applause and cheers. He walked right to his chair, cleared his throat and began to play a very powerful classical sounding piece of music, which then segued into the music of "If You're Happy And You Know It" - without Craig singing, and the audience instinctively clapped our hands at the appropriate part. Then came verse two, and the audience again clapped their hands - that's when Craig BANGED on the keyboard and yelled "It's stomp your feet mother#&*#^#s"!

THAT was the opening of the show that lasted about 45 minutes and had the audience laughing throughout. Craig played songs and had the audience singing along all night. Songs included Eye of the Tiger, Summer Loving, All My Life, Here Comes the Bride, and many many others - each one interspersed with Craig's own words and hilarity.

Craig then did some Q&A from the crowd after his set. We learned that he believes Steve Carell is one of the funniest people he's ever met, and Will Farrell is hilarious at every moment. Craig had no idea if Daryl will stay with Kelly in the long run, he doesn't know what Daryl is doing every week until he gets to the table read for each episode. He is not going to put out a music album anytime soon - at least not until he gets a bit "older and wiser" and he loves working with Judd Apatow.

The closing number? His song from the "Local Ad" episode of "The Office" and then right into The Office theme. Brilliant!

After the show, Craig stayed around and did a meet and greet with fans and as I made it out of the auditorium, the line was already wrapped around the hallway and back to meet him.

If you ever see Craig is coming anywhere near you for his act, you need to get there. You won't be disappointed. Excuse the blur of the photo - cameras were not allowed, so I snuck that one. Yeah, I'm all about breaking the rules for our readers!
