During the Writers Guild strike, a line made the rounds and I quoted it here…
Just got a message that says that production has shut down on the NBC hit sitcom, The Office. It seems its star, Steve Carell, has been calling in sick with what he claims is a case of "enlarged balls."
Just thought I'd note that in an interview in the current issue of Playboy, Mr. Carell says the quote is spurious. He did make it clear he would not work during the strike but, he says, he did not make the remark attributed to him. Well, he should have.
