http://www.yardbarker.com/entertainment/players/john_krasinski/143312 Recent articles about John Krasinski en-us John Krasinski was a guest on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon last night, and he brought with him the incredible idea to have a lip sync battle with Jimmy. The result? One of the greatest moments in late night television history. Watch the clip above to see the two (silently) belt out some Katy Perry, Run DMC, and Boyz II Men, among others.

Beyond the 35-year-old Pacific Northwest native's dayjob as frontman of the highly succesful indie rock outfit Death Cab For Cutie, Gibbard also caught a lot of noterity as the voice of The Postal Service (remember "Such Great Heights?"), released several solo albums under the moniker of ¡All-Time Quarterback!, played a small role in the John Krasinski film Brief Interviews with Hideous Men and recorded a solo album with Son Volt vocalist Jay Farrar back in 2009.

The exchange, by way of Puck Daddy: I don’t blame them for referencing that instead of anything that’s happened since Jim and Pam got married (what’re they supposed to do, off him tickets inside of a boring storyline about who wants to run Dunder-Mifflin?), but if I was Wilson I’d trick them into phasing all their tweets in the form of meatballs. Here’s a pic of Luc Robitaille presenting Dwight with his tickets, or one of the Blues Brothers getting a gift from Jason Bateman, I can’t really tell because they Instagram’d it and they might as well have been standing in a 1970s sandstorm: I ...

The shows air back to back (usually) on NBC's Thursday night comedy lineup. The two also have something else in common: both are fans of Chicago sports teams, with Offerman supporting the Cubs and Robinson pledging allegiance to the White Sox. The two go back and forth during the commercial, with the baseball (and city) related jabs at each other ringing true to many fans, regardless of your fandom. My favorite line during the commercial was Offerman referring to US Cellular Field as "mobile phone park", as the stadium gained the rather generic sounding name before the 2003 season as a replacement for the hallowed name of Comiskey Park, which was rebuilt in time for the 1991 season.  This ad is a definite improvement over the series of Alec Baldwin-John Krasinski ads that flooded airwaves last year, which gave off more of an upper class, elite...

Can a guy get the comedic stylings of Max Greenfield?Or, if they plan on sticking with NBC's Thursday night lineup...I'll gladly watch Ben Schwartz.

Last year the hat company featured Red Sox fan John Krasinski (Jim Halpert from "The Office") and Yankee fan Alec Baldwin (Jack Donaghy from "30 Rock") in a series of hilarious ads that highlighted the rivalry between the two A.L. East foes.  This year the company has chosen to feature Cubs fan Nick Offerman (alpha-male Ron Swanson from "Parks and Recreation") and White Sox fan Craig Robinson (Darryl Philbin from "The Office"). The ads look like they'll aim to poke fun at the intra-city rivalry in Chicago. The first one does not disappoint...but, really, could anything involving Ron Swanson disappoint?  http://twitter.com/PeteBlackburn http://twitter.com/TheNosebleeds Thu, 05 Apr 2012 15:27:00 -0400 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/park_recs_ron_swanson_and_the_offices_darryl_star_in_new_era_ads/10491910 http://network.yardbarker.com/all_sports/article_external/park_recs_ron_swanson_and_the_offices_darryl_star_in_new_era_ads/10491910 Park & Rec's Ron Swanson and The Office's Darryl star in New Era ads http://www.yardbarker.com/all_sports/articles/park_recs_ron_swanson_and_the_offices_darryl_star_in_new_era_ads/10491910 http://www.yardbarker.com/images/yb_logo_square_grey.png Last season, New Era ran a series of ads involving Alec Baldwin and John Krasinski fighting back and forth over the Yankees and Red Sox. This season it looks like it’ll be Nick Offerman and Craig Robinson going back and forth about the Cubs and White Sox. It’s not Yankee related anymore, but I have a feeling that I’m going to run a few of these anyway because it is baseball related and I like Offerman and Robinson. Here is, what I’m assuming, is the first of a few of these that we’ll see this season.

Just watch. —– Last year it was Alec Baldwin and John Krasinski debating Yankees/Red Sox. I’m delighted they left the east coast and came home to the midwest for this year’s series. If the one-liners are as good all year as the ones here, this is going to be great. And sorry Swanson. I’m with Craig on this one.
