I found some stuff on E!Online with Kristin regarding future Office Gossip. Here is some of the dialogue between Kristin and guest emails.
Brooke in Los Angeles: Anything on The Office?
I talked to B.J. Novak himself on the Emmys red carpet about his burgeoning beard, and he spilled lots about Ryan’s future, saying, “[The beard] is a sign of Ryan’s wannabe maturity, his would-be transformation. Ryan sees himself as completely changed, and he wants to send a message. His clothes are completely different, and his facial hair is different. I narrowly avoided a pencil-thin goatee. At the last minute the other writers decided I could just grow scruff and call it a day. I wrote into my episode that [writer-actor] Mike Schur, who plays Mose, had to wear a horrible neck beard, which he grew for three months. And then he wrote into his episode that I had this awful goatee. And we experimented with a fake beard, actually, but I avoided that fate …”
Denise in Chicago: Greg Daniels said that Michael Scott’s hard to manage and that’ll be one of Ryan’s big struggles this year. What’s the deal with that? Will Michael be cleaning out the back of Ryan’s car?
I asked B.J. just that! He told me, “I do ask him to get me a cold water, in the first couple of episodes.” And how does he take that? Well, according to B.J., “Michael has incredible powers of self-delusion and incredible powers of idealization, so he takes that as a sign that Ryan is his friend who wants to treat him like a host. I mean, it’s a comedy show, and that relationship is very complicated. Michael still thinks Ryan is his best friend and his protégé — his partner in crime.”
Elijah in Philadelphia: The Office!
On the red carpet, I asked Phyllis Smith how Phyllis Vance was going to keep in touch with BFF Karen if she was gone from Scranton, and she said, “I guess we’ll have to blog on the computer with her … Next time I need to go to the beauty parlor, I’m certainly going to call her, because we made a fabulous pair together.” I also asked Phyllis how she does in the already infamous Fun Run, and she said, “I’m a pretty good contender. I have to let you know that.”
There’s no toliet paper here. Could Ryan…Tell Ryan to bring toliet paper! Could you tell him that? - Michael to Pam
