EVENT: Comedian B.J. Novak
DATE: Nov. 18
B.J. Novak is an actor, writer, producer, and standup comedian best known for his contributions in front of the camera -- and behind the scenes -- on NBC's Emmy Award-winning comedy series, "The Office." In "The Office," Novak stars as Ryan, the one-time temp who has risen to become the company's corporate boss. He is also co-executive producer of the series, and, as a writer, has scripted many of the show's most memorable episodes, including "Diversity Day," "Sexual Harassment" and "The Fire."
First discovered as a standup comedian, Novak has since established himself as one of the most original and prominent new voices in the comedy world. He has performed on Comedy Central and "Late Night with Conan O'Brien," and in his time away from "The Office"continues to headline sold-out shows at theatres, colleges, and comedy clubs. As an actor, Novak has recently appeared in "Reign Over Me" and "Knocked Up." Before “The Office,” Novak was best known for his improvised performances on the MTV hit "Punk'd," the celebrity prank show.
Novak will appear at Cameron University’s Aggie Gym on Tuesday, Nov. 18 at 8 p.m. For more information, call 580-581-2211.
