I've been reporting from
Comic-Con these past few days, but here's a hodgepodge of random extra bits and pieces from my weekend.
- There was a panel I basically happened to attend by accident, which ended up being for this spooky-looking movie The Wolf Man, due in theaters April 3, 2009. Then, to everyone's surprise, the stars of the film, Benicio Del Toro and Emily Blunt, came onstage to talk about it.
So many of the funniest moments in
the season finale of
The Office came courtesy of Brian Baumgartner as Kevin, whose "special" relationship with Amy Ryan toed the politically incorrect line to hilarious effect. And Kevin's profile has only continued to grow this Summer, as he's starring in
this year's series of Office webisodes. So it's no surprise that Baumgartner was a pretty popular guy at NBC's party at the
TCA press tour.
It's the last day of sessions here at the
TCA press tour, and it's NBC's turn to hawk its wares. Just a few minutes ago, NBC Entertainment Co-Chairman Ben Silverman took the stage to clarify a few things about
The Office spinoff (and not-spinoff), the network's plans for late night, and more. Some highlights:
They've teamed up for SNL and
Baby Mama. Could Tina Fey and Amy Poehler soon be holding down NBC's Thursday night comedy fort together, too.
That's what it sounds like, if we can believe the numerous reports that
Poehler is in final negotiations to join the show, which also recently
cast Aziz Ansari.
