Whoa Nellie, look who is coming back to Dunder Mifflin! NBC announced today that Catherine Tate will return to The Office to reprise her role as Nellie Bertram. She’ll show up in the second half of the season after she’s hired by friend and Chairman Jo Bennett (Kathy Bates) as a “misguided special projects manager working directly for the corporate office who very much enjoys the favoritism received from Bennett.”
Tate first joined the NBC comedy in last season’s finale as one of the candidates interviewing for Michael Scott’s job.
“Catherine is hysterical,” said executive producer Paul Lieberstein in a statement. ”We introduced her briefly in last season’s finale and knew she had to be a part of the show somehow. We’ll meet her again as corporate’s special projects manager, and her relationship with Robert California (James Spader) will be far from professional. We’re thrilled that she’s joining the cast.”
Tate headlined her own eponymous show for the BBC.
This made it sound like she was an important character returning, but I can’t place her!
She’s the wishy washy lady who kept saying she’d do one thing to manage, then would swing to the opposite. She interviewed for the manager job along with Jim Carrey, Ray Romano, and James Spader.
Thank you for that smart critique. Me & my nbhoiegur were preparing to do some research about that. We obtained a great book on that matter from our local library and most books exactly exactly where not as influensive as your info. I’m extremely glad to see such info which I was searching for a lengthy time.
my sisters friend makes $59 every hour on the computer. She has been fired from work for 6 months but last month her income was $6626 just working on the computer for a few hours. Read about it here CashHard.cøm
Fact check please. The last sentence is incorrect. “The Catherine Tate Show” ended four years ago and she followed it by being on Doctor Who but she’s no longer on that either.
It does not say that she currently headlines it. The article says she “headlined.” Past tense. That is true. No fact checking needed.
Yeah, I found it odd that that was all they had to say about her career. Never mind she’s legend in the geek-verse.
I love Catherine Tate! I hope the scripts they give her are good, because The Office isn’t as good as it used to be.
Phew!!! Glad I’ve already left this series cos having Catherine join the team would have sent me out the door anyway.
It is spelled Dunder Mifflin with 2 f’s.
It’s not a real company you dingus.
LOVE Catherine! Watched her on Doctor Who, she is hilarious.
Well she was a stinky one. I receive no enjoys from this lady. I had a glad when Mr. Californya was boss I saw and not this lady that I had expectation. She should be an onion seller.
No… no more characters. I still feel like we have no background on James Spader’s character, and Meredith Oscar Angela etc. still get virtually no lines!!
Nobody cares about Meredith Oscar Angela Stanley etc. They were cast with boring nobodies because that was the vibe of the show at the time. They were never meant to be big roles in The Office.
Actually Oscar and Angela are hilarious and the show could use more of their stories.
Meredith, Kevin, Creed – yes you’re right.
Jo seems like a no-nonsense, smart type. Why does she keep hiring idiots like Gabe, DeAngelo and this lady? She must have a blind eye to morons.
After watching it last night, I could have sworn it was “Mayberry, RFD” and Nard Dog was being played by Ken Berry.
Sorry for the dated reference…but it still works.
I as well as my guys were found to be viewing the great tips and hints on your bsteiwe and then then developed a terrible feeling I had not expressed respect to the blog owner for those secrets. These women were definitely for that reason joyful to see them and have now extremely been tapping into these things. I appreciate you for truly being very kind and also for pick out this form of magnificent topics most people are really desirous to discover. Our honest apologies for not expressing gratitude to earlier.
Great addition. I am looking forward to see her in the show.
I thought she was funny in last season’s finale, and the Catherine Tate show is a great DVD or Netflix rental. If you’re not familiar with her work, she’s versatile and plays so many different characters. This is great news for the Office!
If you’re going to talk about “the media” as a monolithic enitty, then the only universal bias is the drive to maximize profits.I don’t care to to engage you in simplistic questions like “is ‘the media’ liberal or conservative?” “The media” is not monolithic. But spend 2 minutes at for plenty of stories from mainstream media outlets that misrepresent reality either through a conservative bias or laziness.
Love Catherine Tate, great news.
Show should have ended with Steve Carell’s departure. Boring now.
Are you bovred?????
Are you?
Do I look bovered?
I stopped watching the office. I will come back to it to watch Catherine. Love her.
