Sorry about that.
So, on a lighter note, I'm gonna meet Dwight tonight! Yes, this Dwight, in all his calculator-watch wearing, beet-loving glamour.
He's emceeing an event in town that I'm attending for work, and that they'll be granting interviews for reporters afterwards.
Awesome.
Here's the thing, though: When it comes to talking to celebrities, my interviewing style looks and sounds amazingly like this, Chris Farley's "The Chris Farley Show" character on SNL.
"Remember that time, when Jim sent you faxes from Future Dwight? Um... that was awesome."
Also, think of the most non-funny cause you can for the event to be supporting. Got it? OK. If you guessed combatting gender-based human rights violations against women and girls, you'd be correct! You know, just the kind of easy, lighthearted topic that lends itself to a fun, non-serious interview about life at work and Dundie Awards.
So, I'd love to some help with questions. Here's the scenario: I need to somehow ask Rainn Wilson, the guy who plays Dwight and who is not Dwight tonight, questions that will make sense and maybe even entertaining reading for a business publication during an event with serious overtones.
Hey, how hard can that be?
C'mon, people. Whaddya got?

ARGH. . .can't believe I didn't see this until Monday morning. I was going to suggest this approach:
Dwight Schrute: Brain teaser. I have two coins totaling 15 cents. One of them is not a nickel. What are they?
Ryan: A dime and a nickel.
Dwight Schrute: ...No I said one of them is not a nickel-
Ryan: But the other one is, I've heard that before.
Dwight Schrute: Okay. A man and a son get into a car accident, they're rushed to the hospital. Doctor says, 'there's no way I can operate on this boy--
Ryan: Because he's my son. The doctor is the boy's mother.
Dwight Schrute: A man is found hanging from the ceiling-
Ryan: He stepped on a block of ice, hung himself and the ice melted.
Dwight Schrute: A hunter-
Ryan: It's a polar bear because you're at the North Pole.
Dwight Schrute: DAMMIT!
i got nothin', but i've developed a new found love for rainn wilson!
