"Frame Toby" - Deleted Scene #2

Aziz Ansari, Comedian

Don't recognize the name? Well, it will be common in your household very, very soon. Ansari was the first person cast for the oft-discussed The Office spin-off (which is not actually a spin-off but another comedy that will utilize The Office's documentary-style sitcom format).

An interview with Chicago Decider reveals some interesting things about the guy on the verge of super stardom. Including (dare we hope) some spoilers of the as-yet-untitled show.

Who is a Big Screen Big Shot?

Steve Carell, that's who!

A recently published article in Variety points out Steve's budding mogul status and the success of his company Carousel Prods., which just landed a three-year, first-look deal with Warner Bros. Pictures.

Favorite Quote: "I feel like I'm dying inside." -Michael
Favorite Moment: When Michael first sees Toby and when Dwight tells about his "perfect crime" at Tiffany's.
Overall Episode Grade: A-

NettesLayouts: Nette
Favorite Quote: "I feel like Neve Campbell in Scream 2. She thinks she can go off to college and be happy... And then, the murderer comes back. Starts killing off all of her friends. Learned a lot of lessons from that movie. This is just one of them." -Michael Scott
Favorite Moment: I just loved this episode! I loved the whole cops scene with Creed. I also loved when Pam realized that Jim bought the house for her and she gave him a big hug!
Overall Episode Grade: A

Flonkerton: Lauren
Favorite Quote: "What is my perfect crime? I break into
Tiffanie's at midnight. Do I go for the vault? No, I go for the
chandelier; it's priceless. As I'm taking it down, a woman catches me.
She tells me to stop, it's her father's business, she's Tiffanie..."
Favorite Moment: Michael's attempt to buy drugs; Ryan's right, he
probably never has done drugs.
Overall Episode Grade: B

MTT: Jenny
Favorite Quote: The entire monologue about Dwight and Tiffany
Favorite Moment: Pam standing in her new art studio. It was a bit cheesy, a bit fanfictionish, but totally well done.
