JENNA FISCHER HAS SOME IDEAS FOR THE OFFICE REBOOT: Hey, NBC! Jenna Fischer (a.k.a. Pam) has some primo new plot ideas for a rebooted The Office. While the reboot rumors are just that, Fisher is game. So much so, she told E! what she thinks she and Jim (John Krasinski) could be up to. “I like to imagine that she’s working in some sort of artistic field, continuing on her streak of doing murals and being commissioned as an artist. I just love the idea that she’s still expressing that artistic side of her,” Fischer, who’s returning to TV with the unconventional family comedy Splitting Up Together in March on ABC, told E!. “And just enjoying watching her kids grow up with Jim. I hope they’re really happy, you know? Wherever they wound up. I can’t know. It’s hard to think. We all want to know, right? Exactly. Well, maybe Greg Daniels will tell us.” The proposed reboot would allegedly feature a mix of new and old characters. Steve Carrell‘s Michael Scott would not be in the mix however.
YOUTUBE WON’T BAN LOGAN PAUL: YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki says that the controversial vlogger Logan Paul will not be ousted from the platform. Despite posting several videos that offended viewers, including one that showed a suicide victim, she says he has not violated specific policies, and will remain.
MARTY ALLEN DIES AT AGE 95: Marty Allen, known as much for his Brillo pad-like hair as for his witticisms, has died at age 95. Allen kept America laughing through the 1950s and 60s with his partner Steve Rossi. They appeared on TV together at least 700 times, according to The Hollywood Reporter, with more than 40 stints on The Ed Sullivan Show alone. He died of complications from pneumonia. He is survived by his wife, Karon Kate Blackwell, who was by his side when he died. Speaking of his appearances with The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, he told the Las Vegas Sun in a 2014 interview: “When we were on with the Beatles, they kept looking at me, at my hair, and they were hysterically laughing. We took a picture because they couldn’t believe that anybody would have that kind of a style haircut. I’ve always had it, and it was more or less a great trademark. There’s no secret formula. I shampoo and comb my hair, and that’s the way it goes.”
