Here are some promos for the upcoming season premiere of The Office titled “Gay Witch Hunt” where Michael finds out that Oscar is gay. CAN’T WAIT. It airs this Thursday, September 21 @ 8:30PM ET/PT on NBC. Also in this entry are more promos from “The Convention,” which airs September 28. In magazine news, Esquire Magazine recently interviewed John Krasinski:

What’s been the best prank so far? Maybe putting all of Dwight’s stuff in the vending machine. But from a personal standpoint, popping the fitness orb he was sitting on. I was supposed to puncture it, and it was supposed to slowly deflate, but on the eighth take I hit the seam of the ball, and it just ripped open. He fell down and hit his head. If you watch the episode again, I literally lunge out of the frame because I’m laughing so hard.

Check out that scene with the fitness orb above, it’s twice as funny watching it now! And if you haven’t already, check out Jenna Fischer’s booze cruise video blog. It’s only available for purchase via Season 2 Special Edition DVDs sold exclusively at Target.

Check out the larger promos in the gallery… they’re all beyond hilarious! For example: Dwight has a calculator embedded in a mold of green jello. Hahaha. The only one I don’t get is why Stanley is doing crossword puzzles…

Group photo standing: Phyllis Smith as Phyllis Lapin, Paul Lieberstein as Toby, Oscar Nuñez as Oscar Martinez, Jenna Fischer as Pam Beesly, Angela Kinsey as Angela, B.J.

Sitting: John Krasinski as Jim Halpert, Mindy Kaling as Kelly Kapoor, Rainn Wilson as Dwight Schrute.

As the lanky, lovelorn cog Jim Halpert on NBC’s remake of the British mockumentary The Office, John Krasinski has won a devoted female following.  Turns out the slightly shambling, beagle-eyed actor is also a sensitive lit’ry man.  A 26-year-old graduate of Brown University, Krasinski is preparing to direct his own movie adaptation of David Foster Wallace’s collection of short stories Brief Interviews With Hideeous Men.  "This book changed my life," he says earnestly. 

(Continued after the jump)

So did a fateful decision by Brown’s basketball coach, who wouldn’t let the 6′3" Krasinski on the varsity team midseam, after he returned from a semester in Costa Rica.  Krasinski pursued performance instead, joining an indie sketch comedy group and studying at the O’Neill National Theater Institute, where he learned that "when you’re in the middle of a Bernard Shaw scene, it’s generally not a good idea to go into a Chris Farley impression."  He’s been toggling effortlessly between satire and sincerity ever since.  This fall, those crazy for Krasinski can catch him in Nancy Meyers‘ romantic comedy The Holiday, Christopher Guest’s Oscar spoof For Your Consideration, and the hotly anticipated Dreamgirls.  He’s also filming his big-screen leading role, opposite Mandy Moore in the romance License to Wed.  "It’s rare that someone this talented has so much class and humor," Moore coos.

""There’s no way to say no to a big studio at this stage in the game," Krasinski says.  Besides, "it’s this really sweet, heartfelt movie… and I’m a guy who wears his heart on his sleeve."
