Amy Poehler may be 'Office' bound

July 15, 2008 NBC and creator Greg Daniels have been mum on details about the project, but it is said to be a separate show with virtually no ties to the original.

Poehler's name was first linked to the "Office" spinoff in April, shortly after NBC announced the project at its "infront" presentation and before the release of Poehler's first starring feature, "Baby Mama," in which she shared top billing with Fey.
