[nyc94]

30 Rock: Tracy Morgan and his entourage were discussing the whereabouts of previous members of the group and he says one of them is "studying Hotel Management at Cornell".

And Conan O'Brien had Prof. Steven Kaplan talking about bread.

Please, it's, "Well go ahead, Fat Balls. That's a good program."

As well as alumnus Keith Olbermann '79.

If anyone follows The Office closely, did they ever give Ed Helms a big send-off?  I missed last week's episode.  It seems like he just disappeared.  Last night Karen said she was the only one left from the Stamford office.

[mttgrmm]

yeah i noticed that too.

he left in episode 3x14, titled "The Return", it's the one in which Dwight is working at Staples and Michael goes and gets him to come back.

Andy loses his mind and punches a wall after Michael tells him off (and Jim hid his phone in the ceiling and kept calling it... "large tuna, have you seen my cellular telephone device?").

then they have a christmas party and he's not there, but they never actually say like "he's fired" if i remember correctly.  he shows up at the end looking through a window of the break room, but that's the last i've seen of him.

(i have these downloaded, i'm not just running this back from memory...)

Thanks.  I thought he was in the scenes in the office at the very beginning of the Phyllis' Wedding episode although he may not even have had a line.  It made sense that he wouldn't be at the wedding.  Even if he was potentially the worst Cornell alum on TV he was pretty funny.

edit:

She also said that Ed Helms' character is in anger management, which I guess means he'll be back.

I somehow missed that.  Maybe he'll be back when Ed Helms can work in some time off from Harold and Kumar 2.

Andy, the Cornell alum portrayed by Ed Helms, is indeed attending anger management classes (recall that he punched a hole in the wall). This information was revealed in a deleted scene posted at nbc.com, but was never shown on air.

As an aside, a few weeks ago there was a debate among hardcore Office fans (present company included ::crazy: whether the deleted scenes should have "counted" in the Office canon, even though they were never officially aired.

Nevertheless, Andy will definitely return to The Office, as Ed Helms was promoted by NBC to a series regular.

That's right; I agree with you. My minor point is that, until Karen's scene at the party in last week's episode, for three episodes you wouldn't have known where Andy was, unless you checked out the deleted scenes on nbc.com which show Andy driving off to anger management classes. But of course, it's mostly a moot point now.

Anyone see Stephen Colbert's "Better Know A District" on Wednesday, March 21? In the 434-part "Better Know A District" series Colbert interviewed Congressman Maurice Hinchey of New York's "Fighting 22nd".  Before the interview Colbert mentions that the 22nd is home to Cornell University and that Cornell used to have a live bear at football games.  If you watch Colbert you know how he feels about bears.

Hinchey was my assemblyman when I was a kid.
