Q.  What are the dates listed on your calendar?
A. Those are standup performances.

Q.  A lot of the shows listed on your calendar are colleges.  Are tickets available to the general public?
A: There are at least two shows this month that have tickets on sale to the general public. On Friday, February 8th I will be in Washington, D.C. to perform at historic Lisner Auditorium.  Tickets for that are available at www.lisner.org
and at Ticketmaster.  I'll also be performing Los Angeles at Largo on 2/27. Tickets for that are available at www.largo-la.com. 

Q. Is the show on 2/27 a 227 themed show?
A. No.

Q. Will there be much onstage interaction between the cast of The Office and the cast of 227?
A.There is expected to be no such interaction whatsoever as no one from the cast of 227 is expected to perform at or attend the show on February 27th.

Q. Is the dude from The Jeffersons going to be there?
A.  I think you are thinking of the show Amen, not 227. No actor from either of those two programs is expected.

Q. Will people be signing things after the show?
A.  Sure, if you want!

Q.  Because I'm bringing my Office DVDs and my 227 DVDs.  My brother's birthday is coming up and I think it would be hilarious if I could get Steve Carell to sign the 227 set and get Jackeé to sign –
A.  Let me stop you right there: there is nothing about the show on February 27th that will appeal to a fan who is specifically and primarily looking for an evening that will satisfy a nostalgia for, or an appreciation of, the sitcom 227. Again: this is not a show that is geared towards fans of 227 to any extent above or beyond what would simply be considered a general targeting of comedy fans.

Q.  If Jackeé shows up, will you let her in?
A. If Jackeé makes a dinner reservation at largo-la.com she can have her own table. Otherwise, she is welcome to get in line for standing room at around 8:30.

Q.  No special treatement for Jackee?  On 2/27?  Boy, have you lost your mind?!
A. You might be better off doing something else on 2/27.

Q. Will I be able to get out of the show on 2/27 in time to keep my appointment with my Chinese dentist on 2/30?  It's a very painful root canal and my doctor speaks heavily accented English.  It's more or less all I can think about.
A. There is no such date. Still, I am sorry to hear about that.

Wait a minute? The 2/27 show is NOT a 227-themed show? I think my life has lost all purpose.

Q. How stupid did I feel after I took off work and made travel arrangements to be in the Chicago area the weekend of February 16, only to be told heartlessly by Michelle at Norris Box Office that the tickets to your performance were (1) for students only and (2) sold out?
A. Kinda.

Will you be doing a "take off" skit or skits based on the classic show Room 222 at any place on 2/22?

This is what happens when writers spend too much time not writing. All that comedic genius comes bursting out in absolute absurdity. Oh, and the programming we're left with on television sucks. I think it's good for everyone for the writers to go back to work. I'm cautiously optimistic.

This is way off topic, and probably not the right way to go about this, but here goes. BJ, I have a couple questions for you on the strike having to do with your position as both a writer and actor. I chose to write about the strike for my magazine journalism class, and although it has magazine in the course description, the questions would only be submitted to my professor and not sold or sent to any magazine. If you don't mind, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks!

P.S. I don't know if you remember this, but I lent you my snazzy red umbrella after "The Office" night at UCB in L.A. when it was raining and the valet took a long time to get our cars. Hey!

- Rebecca

Guess because you're so dead-pan (usually) on The Office, I am surprised when you give us a glimpse of emotion. This blog rocks, wouldn't have expected less, but it still was a surprise that ya done it. Ya done big!

I never saw 227 but I did see Exit 57 which I'm assuming is similar since they both have numbers in the title.

So just to clarify, Steve Carrell will be at the show on 2/27?

It's all your proper grammar and complete sentances. They confuse us simple folk. ;) Try saying it all over again in the instant messaging version of English... you know, with all the abbreviations and misspellings and whatnot.

Having a 2/27 show without inviting Jackee is like having a show on 3/11 and not inviting Korn. So yes, you're making it worse.

Also, having fans that are too young to remember 227 makes EVERYTHING worse.

I have never seen either Amen or 227. I suppose those were sitcoms from the eighties.

Hey You Millionaires

 
I am looking forward to your show at Northwestern on Feb 16. If you have time maybe you can stop by The Annoyance Theatre on Feb 17 at 7pm and catch our show. It is just down the street from Northwestern. Sounds like the writers strike is coming to a close. I look forward to some great new Office episodes!

well if no one from 227 is going to be there.. and steve carell isn't coming, then I certainly am not going to attend. Although the announcement is on YOUR page, I really find this sort of advertising unfair and misleading.
