FANS OF NBC'S 'THE OFFICE' TO CREATE RE-IMAGINED SEGMENTS FROM THE EPISODE 'MURDER' TO BE POSTED AS NEWLY EDITED 'FANISODE' ON NBC.COM

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. � June 11, 2010 � Inspired fans of NBC's hit comedy "The Office" (Thursdays, 9-9:30 p.m. ET) can now re-create their own re-imagined version of a segment from the "Murder" episode and upload it to NBC.com.

The episode, which was broadcast earlier this year, will be split into 86 segments. NBC.com will choose one fan re-made segment for each of the 86 to comprise the new "fanisode."

Innovative participants can produce a new take on any one of the segments via live action, animation, claymation -- or with any other creative media. Fans can view clips of the episode and read the script from each segment on NBC.com.

Registration is now open for users to sign up for the individual segments that they want to submit.

Once viewers have signed up, they can upload their own personalized re-imagining of the segment directly to NBC.com. Fans will also be able to earn points with NBC's "Fan It" affinity program, redeemable for fun, Office-based prizes.

After all the segments are completed, NBC.com will edit the best submissions and will post the new fan-created "fanisode" online.
