Posted Mar 31st 2011 at 10:31 PM by Nicki Gostin

Rainn Wilson stars as Frank D'Arbo, aka The Crimson Bolt, in the hilarious movie 'Super,' which opens this Friday. You can of course also see Wilson as the most irritating and odd office worker ever on 'The Office,' going strong in its seventh season. The wonderfully offbeat actor spoke to us, of course, about Steve Carell's last season on the NBC comedy, working with Ellen Page and whether he ...

With a little more than a month to go before Steve Carell signs off for good, the cast of 'The Office' is on lockdown. Amy Ryan, who plays Michael Scott's HR-repping girlfriend, has nothing but love for the show but has zilch to reveal about what's going to happen. "I'm not allowed to say. Doesn't that suck?" she tells PopEater. Yes, it does! As we wait to see if Michael and Holly get married and ...

Posted Feb 15th 2011 at 03:01 PM by Nicki Gostin

Ed Helms is on quite a roll. He's got his day job on 'The Office' as an uptight, rage-suppressing paper salesman. He was part of the smash hit 'The Hangover' (the sequel has finished filming). And now he's starring in 'Cedar Rapids' as a sweet, slightly naïve insurance salesman who learns about life at an Iowa convention. He spoke to PopEater about the new film and how the 'Office' cast ...

Steve Carell to Leave 'The Office' Early

Posted Jan 16th 2011 at 08:43 AM by Christine Fenno

Steve Carell, a nominee at tonight's Golden Globe Awards (Best Performance by an Actor in a TV Series - Comedy or Musical), has had a long career at 'The Office.' He even won the Globe in 2006 for his work on the series. Still, last year's announcement that he'd be leaving the cast at the end of this season was a jolt. Would paper sales in Scranton -- and Thursday nights on NBC, for that matter ...

Craig Robinson of 'The Office' Assures Us 'That's What She Said' Jokes Are Far from Dead

Posted Oct 28th 2010 at 04:15 PM by Zach Dionne

In the last few years of comedy, Craig Robinson has stolen more scenes, movies, and TV episodes than we care to count. Since his brilliant cameo in 'Knocked Up,' the 39-year-old Chicago native has carved a reputation reaching far beyond "that Darryl guy from the Dunder-Mifflin warehouse." Still a regular on 'The Office' -- in more scenes than ever after notching his own office alongside the ...

Look Who's Leaving, Too: Stars Who Left Hit TV Shows

Posted Jul 5th 2010 at 02:00 PM by Dino Sossi

Nothing lasts forever. (Except cellulite.) But when it comes to celluloid, not even the best shows can hang on indefinitely. Steve Carell is leaving 'The Office' after next season, Larry King will switch off the mic this fall and Oprah will step down from her daytime TV throne next year -- so how will these shows (or the holes they leave in their timeslots) fare without their star ...
