Oscar Nunez from "The Office"
Still flying high after attending the SAG Awards last night, hope you saw our Twitterstream of pics yesterday, you can see them again here. We will have many more pics and video clips of the event for you soon.Fans of Eric McCormack and Tom Cavanaugh can get some helpings of them with the premiere of "Trust Me" on TNT tonight at 10pm. We've missed those guys so it will be interesting to see them work together in this new program.
Also tonight we will see Conan O'Brien sitting in the chair at the Actors Studio - should be pretty funny but we loathe the excessive commercial breaks.
