SAG-tastic! - a podcast by Matt Sommer

Well, I missed the show... but even a day late, the results are still just as sweet: our favorite cast took home the award for "Ensemble in a comedy series," beating out 30 ROCK, DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, ENTOURAGE, and UGLY BETTY.

Forget about getting a straight answer from the cast of "The
Office," winners of SAG's comedy series ensemble award. In
fact, forget about staying more than five seconds on a topic with
the way the actors cut up the back room. How hard is it to keep a
straight face? "It's very hard to keep a straight face," castmember
Brian Baumgartner said with a straight face. "I'm thinking
they should have a trophy check," B.J. Novak interjected,
"like a coat check, but for trophies." Getting back to the awards
at hand, Novak joked about the cost of his SAG card: "I donated 25
bucks to KCRW, and six weeks later, my SAG card came in the mail."
Saving management for last, a smirking Steve Carell joked
that "Office" creator Ricky Gervais was jealous of the success of
the American version of the series. "In fact, before the show, I
was downstairs in the restroom, and he was there, and he leaned
over the urinal, looked at me, and said, 'I knew it!' That's my
Ricky Gervais story." Carell added that he couldn't wait to be on
Gervais' HBO series "Extras." "I'll follow him wherever he goes,"
he said. Finally, a straight answer.
