MULTITALENTED COMEDY ACTOR JACK BLACK TO GUEST-STAR IN NBC’S SPECIAL POST SUPERBOWL EPISODE OF EMMY-WINNING “THE OFFICE” EPISODE OF EMMY-WINNING “THE OFFICE”
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. – December 15, 2008 – Multitalented actor Jack Black ("Kung Fu Panda," "Tropic Thunder,") is set to guest-star in the upcoming post Super Bowl episode of "The Office." The announcement was made by Angela Bromstad, President, Primetime Entertainment, NBC and Universal Media Studios.
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. The movie stars Jack Black and other notable Hollywood actors.
The special hour-long episode titled "Stress Relief" will premiere immediately following "Super Bowl XLIII," Sunday, February 1 (10:30-11:30 p.m. ET; simultaneously to all time zones) on NBC. Season five of the Emmy-Award winning series will continue airing in its regular time slot; Thursdays (9-9:30 p.m. ET/PT) on NBC.
"The Office" is executive-produced by Ben Silverman, Greg Daniels, who developed the series for American audiences, Ricky Gervais, Stephen Merchant, Howard Klein and Paul Lieberstein and Jennifer Celotta and produced by Reveille LLC, Deedle Dee Productions and Universal Media Studios.
This year has been very busy for Jack Black, starting with lending his voice to the lead animated character of "Po" in Paramount Pictures' Kung Fu Panda. The film has earned more than $626 million worldwide, making it DreamWorks Animation's most successful non-sequel film to date. So it comes as no surprise that DreamWorks has signed Black for the sequel scheduled to release in summer of 2011.
Black was back on top of the box office charts in August for the Paramount release of "Tropic Thunder." Directed and written by Ben Stiller, who also starred in the film, Black was joined by the star-studded cast of Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise and Matthew McConaughey. The film was #1 in the box office for two straight weeks and has earned over $100 million domestically.
Black recently wrapped filming his next feature film, "The Year One," starring opposite of Michael Cera ("Juno"). Produced by Judd Apatow ("Pineapple Express") and directed by Harold Ramis ("Knocked Up"), Black plays "Zed" a lazy hunter-gatherer who is banished from his primitive village and set off on an epic journey through the ancient world. This adventure comedy is set to release in June of 2009.
Fresh Whedon!!
The first five volumes of the Looney Tunes Golden Collection were each $44.99. Now they’re $25.99!! (60% Off!!)

I'm surprised NBC isn't airing 30 Rock after - they keep trying to get people to watch. At least they are not airing Knight Rider after. How sad would that be?
-
Hmmmm. I'm a bit wary of this one.
-
Ha sounds fun.
-
jumps the shark? Oh wait that was when Micheal drove into the lake. I still love the show though.

Did you really just change the headline, because you...
by derlanghaarige
...realized that Jack Black had a cameo in Anchorman?
-
are you fucking kidding me?
-
...for what "The Office" has slowly become (a "verite sitcom" instead of a "mockumentary satire"). Still love the show - its laughs just come closer from the surface now. American audiences don't get "dry". The show should just add a laugh track and be done with it - I'd still watch, because it would still be one of the better comedies on television.
-
It kicked ass. What a great show.
-
What a poorly put-together press release.
-
Rather than getting involved in an intelligent way in the debate over Prop 8, he went and participated in that "Proposition 8: The Musical" debacle. Way to raise the level of discourse, Jack.
-
This is now stretching the bounds of what I consider as a series that has (mostly) stuck to its convictions for several seasons. I'd like to see Jack Black go completely chameleon and not play "Jack Black" - but we know he's not really capable of that.
-
Tits McGee
-
More lingering shots on Pam's tits.
-
it's supposed to be a real office?
-
for Ricky Gervais and Martin Freeman possibably Colbart...but...Black isn't bad
-
Where the hell is Todd Packer?
-
David Keotcher is back? Nice tease AICN but you can't trick me into thinking that Tim Robbins was going to be in the Office, I'm smarter then that.
-
fucking reading.
-
Is some Jane Lynch. stat.
-
jack black isn't going to be in "the office." He's going to be a character in a movie they are watching(which may sound lamer than if jack was playing like the new accountant or something, which is pretty damn lame.)
-
This man can do no wrong
-
... is Amy Ryan back.
-
there are like 18 more episodes this season

I hope The Office doesn't fall into the "guest star of the week" trap the many shows have fallen into.
If that happens, the writers will give up any pretense that it's a real office. Not that there's much left anyway. -
needs to be as my moustache.
-
yeah thats good Herc. Jack Black is in the movie for under a minute and is never on screen wtih Carrell. haha - Look up "cameo" maybe. Jesus
-
He would fit in with that comedy tempo perfectly. Loved his "Scarface" role in the Reno 911 movie. Rudd makes everything funnier, because he's Paul Rudd dammit!Jack Black just doesn't do it for me anymore. He basically peaked with School Of Rock, and with the Tenacious D shorts before that. Felt his character was the weakest link in Tropic Thunder. Oooh, the overweight druggie going cold turkey..hardly har har.Hell, I'll take Chris Parnell over Black at this point. His Dr. Spaceman on 30 Rock is hilarious.
