On the last episode of The Office, we saw that Michael (Steve Carell) isn't all that evil when, after successfully trying to get some insider info from a competitor, he decided to repay the family for the kindness they've shown him.  Dwight (Rainn Wilson) wouldn't have any of it, though, and The Office fans had the old and tested Michael-Dwight dynamics throughout the last episode.  Meanwhile, the folks back at Dunder Mifflin set up a debate, complete with visuals and well-thought out arguments, to deliberate on a most startling, relevant issue: is Hillary Swank hot?

On tonight's episode of The Office called “Stress Relief,” something's going to go wrong with Dwight's fire safety seminar, and he must make amends to the rest of his officemates who freaked out.  Meanwhile, Michael himself tries several ways to get his employees to relax but later on figures out that he is everybody's main stressor at work.  His recourse?  A no-holds-barred roast of himself.  This, particularly, should be fun.  Also, Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) convince Andy (Ed Helms) that they're film gurus after the three watch a pirated movie.

Also on this special hour-long post-Super Bowl episode of the Emmy-winning NBC comedy, movie stars Jack Black (Kung Fu Panda), Jessica Alba (Fantastic Four, Good Luck Chuck, and Sin City) and Cloris Leachman (Young Frankenstein, Dancing with the Stars) will guest-star as one of the movie stars in the bootlegged Hollywood movie that the office employees will try to watch during the workday.

The special hour-long episode will premiere immediately following Super Bowl XLIII on Sunday, February 1.  The Office will return to its regular time slot on Thursdays 9pm on NBC.

Alba, 27, rose to mainstream popularity after playing the lead in the television series Dark Angel from 2000 to 2002.
