In what many are calling the most ironic curtain call in recent history, NBC vice president of drama Nora O’Brien literally (not theatrically) dropped dead on set yesterday. In a gravely serious press conference, NBC execs announced that O’Brien would be severely missed. At the time of her death, O’Brien was working on the set of ‘Parenthood,’ a lively new drama based on a 1989 film of the same name. She’d been making a killing at the network for six years.
We swear on our lives that everyone at OneRiot sends their condolences to Nora O’Brien’s family and friends. But to NBC: please don’t cancel Must See TV this week; without a new episode of The Office we would just die.
(I am so sorry for writing this.)
