B.J. Novak Extends Contract on The Office

at .

Michael Scott may be exiting The Office after next season, but he won't be taking his former temp with him.

B.J. Novek has signed a new deal with the NBC sitcom, one that promotes the actor/writer to executive producer status through at least season eight.

Does this mean Ryan will become the next branch manager? We doubt it. A history of fraud and a cocaine addiction the last time he was in charge may stand in the character's way.

"B.J. has been an integral part of The Office since the launch of the show," said NBC president of primetime entertainment Angela Bromstad. "Whether he's in the writing room or appearing on screen, we always get the smart, sophisticated, ridiculously funny humor from him that the fans have come to love."

The Office premieres it new season on September 23.

The Office Quotes

Kevin: Michael, did you just throw up in here?
Michael: Nah. Just poopin'. You know how I be.
Kevin: It smells like throw-up in here.
Michael: Crazy world. Lot of smells.

David, here it is. My philosophy is basically this. And this is something that I live by. And I always have. And I always will. Don't ever, for any reason, do anything to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what. No matter... where. Or who, or who you are with, or, or where you are going, or... or where you've been... ever. For any reason, whatsoever.

Michael
