A few moments with The Office

In last night's episode of "The Office" Andy finally found out about Dwight and Angela's affair. The revelation resulted in a hilarious confrontation that culminated in a ridiculous duel.

The genius of this show is the way the ensemble works together. We all know that Michael, Dwight, Jim and Pam are the stars, but, at the same time there would be a huge hole if there were suddenly no Creed, Meredith or Stanley.

Last night's best quote came when Meredith said, "I've had two guys fight over me before, but usually it's over who holds the camcorder."

I fell off the bed laughing.

In other great news coming out of the show, Tim's favorite Amy Ryan is returning as HR rep Holly. The producers have her signed for the finale, but, they really want to keep her around on a more permanent basis.

Also joining the cast in a short arc is Idris Elba. He will be playing a serious Dunder-Mifflin rep who is evaluating Michael and the Scranton gang. Elba is best known for his work in the HBO series "The Wire" and stars in the upcoming film "Obsessed" with Ali Larter and Beyonce. He is an extremely accomplished actor who hasn't shown his comedic skills yet, so I'm excited to see what he brings to the show.

"The Office" is the funniest show on television right now and these additions along with the anticipation of the post Super Bowl episode are just enhancing its already legendary status.
