Alba, Leachman to join Black on ‘The Office’
That’s right, ‘Fantastic 4’ star Jessica Alba and ‘Dancing with the Stars’ spectacle Cloris Leachman will be joining funny man Jack Black on the post-Super Bowl episode of ‘The Office’.
We also know more about Alba’s and Black’s roles in the episode thanks to an NBC press release:
In one plot of the special post Super Bowl episode of “The Office,” some of the office workers try to secretly watch a bootlegged Hollywood movie during the workday. Alba and comedic actor Jack Black will play characters in the bootleg movie.
According to Korbi Ghosh at Zap2it.com, Leachman will be joining Alba and Black in the bootleg movie, but the NBC press release doesn’t corroborate that.
I have no problem with big-name guest stars, but Rick Porter over at Zap2it.com is ‘nervous’ that they might be doing what ‘Friends’ did for their post-Super Bowl episode in 1996, adding multiple guest stars at the expense of plot. He makes a good point, but I think the writers of ‘The Office’ wouldn’t be so cheap, as is evident by the minor roles Alba, Black and Leachman will be playing in the episode.
What do you think? Are you excited about these stars’ appearances in ‘The Office,’ or are you worried that they’ll pull a ‘Friends’?
