If there’s one sitcom that has mastered the art of combining awkward silences with chaotic laughter, it’s The Office. The beloved mockumentary-style show that made us crack up and laugh hysterically for nine seasons!

From Jim’s pranks on Dwight to Michael’s team-building efforts, each episode was about how they walked the line between hilarity and secondhand embarrassment. But there’s one particular episode that pushed the boundaries of what The Office could be.

Dinner Party: The Office’s masterclass in dark and awkward humor A still from The Office | Credits: NBC

Episode 13 of season 4 is titled Dinner Party, and it felt like a pressure cooker of emotional tension. It kicks off with a classic Michael Scott manipulation: He fakes a last-minute corporate mandate for everyone to work on a late Friday. Minutes later, it’s “cancelled,” so Jim and Pam are now free, which means they...

B.J. Novak might be best known to The Office fans as Ryan Howard, but behind the scenes, he was one of the show’s sharpest writers. His scripts often leaned into the show’s most uncomfortable, chaotic, and hilariously unfiltered moments. And while the highest-rated episodes like “Stress Relief” or “Dinner Party” get all the spotlight, they don’t come close to the raw comedic brilliance of “S*xual Harassment.”

Novak’s writing here is fearless, fast-paced, and packed with unforgettable one-liners. Among all the episodes he wrote, this one stands out as the funniest. Here is why!!

B.J. Novak’s “S*xual Harassment” might not sit at the top of the IMDb rankings, but it easily holds its own among the show’s most iconic episodes.

What makes a joke land? Is it the truth? Or just how far the comedian is willing to go? Ricky Gervais would argue that the answer lies somewhere between brutal honesty and tender humanity. He’s the creator of The Office and is known for fearlessly roasting Hollywood at the Golden Globes.

But Gervais is much more than that! He’s one of the best minds we have in the entertainment industry. So, let’s look at what he has to say about humor and see if that helps reshape your perspective about characters like Michael Scott.

…we are soon getting a spin-off of The Office. Sort of. In September, Peacock will premiere The Paper, which is set in the “universe of The Office.” Or, in other words, the planet Earth.

The show won’t feature Jim, Pam or Michael Scott, but it will include former Dunder Mifflin accountant Oscar Nuñez. And within the world of the show, the documentary is being produced by the same PBS team that somehow shot nine years’ worth of footage of a paper company before airing a single episode.

This time, the subject of the spin-off will involve a totally different, yet still paper-based, dying industry. According to the recently-released official logline for The Paper, “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when...

Set in the same universe as ‘The Office,’ ‘The Paper’ sees the same documentary crew from Dunder Mifflin find a new subject to follow.

Who’s ready to get back to work? The documentary crew that filmed employees of the Dunder Mifflin paper company for so many years is on the hunt for a new subject, and they’ve found one at long last. The new Peacock spinoff of “The Office” is finally emerging from its shroud of secrecy. The show will be called “The Paper,” and NBCUniversal revealed the first details about the show at its May 2025 upfront presentation. We’ll let you know everything they shared below!

If someday Michael Scott and David Brent were thrown into Squid Game, the UK boss would make a dark and cringy speech and get eliminated in the first round. Whereas, our favorite Prison Mike would accidentally charm his way to the finals with a “that’s what she said!” joke. And this weird difference is what Ricky Gervais explained in an op-ed for Time.

In a savage take, Ricky Gervais explained why The Office US had to sweeten Michael Scott, whereas David Brent in the UK show was the human version of a paper cut—annoying, painful, yet weirdly unavoidable. As per Gervais, Americans like their cringe with a side of hope, but Brits want their awkwardness served cold with extra misery.

The American NBC fan-favorite series ran between 2005 and 2013 and was based on the UK series of the same name crated by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. The mockumentary sitcom went on to be adapted across the world, most recently, in Australia, with a female boss.

This morning, it was revealed at NBCUniversal’s Upfront presentation in New York City that the Greg Daniels and Michael Koman-produced comedy series The Paper will premiere on Peacock in September. A first-look photo shows Domhnall Gleeson standing on top of a desk talking to the employees, which includes Oscar Nuñez.

The Paper, a mockumentary from Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set in the same universe as NBC’s Emmy Award-winning hit series The Office, and features the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch. The crew is searching for a new subject when they discover a historic Toledo newspaper, The Truth Teller, and the eager publisher trying to revive it.

Cast members Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, and Nunez, who will reprise the role of Oscar Martinez from the original series, all appeared at Radio City Music Hall. Also part of the ensemble cast but not in attendance: Chelsea Frei,...

The series, from former Office showrunner Greg Daniels and Michael Koman, is set to premiere in September. Peacock also released the first image from the series, which also shows Oscar Nuñez, who will reprise his role as Oscar Martinez from the earlier series.

Nuñez, Gleeson and co-star Sabrina Impacciatore appeared on stage Monday at NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation to advertisers, and Nuñez related that he talked with Daniels that post-The Office, he imagined Oscar moving to a more cosmopolitan environment.

“Greg heard me and moved Oscar to Toledo, Ohio, which has three times the population of Scranton,” Nuñez said.

At the risk of getting The Office‘s theme song stuck in your head, we come bearing new details about its upcoming spinoff, now officially titled The Paper.

Stars: Pete Davidson, Lil Rel Howery, Isla Fisher, Poppy Liu, Stephen Root, Billy Boyd, Ricky Gervais | Written and Directed by Peter Hastings

Written and directed by Peter Hastings, this delightfully manic animated comedy is based on the best-selling series of children’s graphic novels by Dav Pilkey. As such, the film is a spin-off, of sorts, from 2017’s Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie, which was also based on Pilkey’s novels.

For a U-rated animated comedy, Dog Man has a surprisingly dark beginning. Indeed, it’s basically RoboCop, only instead of a cop and a robot, it’s a cop and his pet police dog (both voiced by Hastings). Sure enough, after an introduction to the crime-fighting pair, they are suddenly caught in an explosion, after which a nurse looks at their mangled bodies and says, “What if we sew the dog’s head onto the man’s body?...

Muppet fans won’t be starting the music or lighting the lights anytime soon, according to a new report by US Weekly, which has debunked recent rumors that The Muppet Show is set for a revival by Disney. While whispers about the House of Mouse planning on bringing back Jim Henson’s massively influential puppets for a revival that would have been incredibly meta considering the premise of the original Muppet Show have circulated since April, it seems that there will be no handy work going on inside Muppet Studios anytime soon…at all.

Rumors of The Muppet Show’s revival first surfaced last month, when it was said that Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the rest of the fuzzy gang of colorful characters would be getting a new reboot in 2026. This was said to be coming in the form of a revamp of the original Muppet Show format, with big-name...

Hollywood is still processing the new Golden Globe category for Best Podcast and what it might mean for the industry. While full eligibility requirements will be announced at a later date, one thing is abundantly clear: your friendly neighborhood pods won't be eligible for this award. The organization is only considering "the top 25 podcasts" to qualify for the six nomination slots.

With that number in mind, we've consulted Spotify's list of the most-listened to podcasts in the United States, to try to get a grasp on who might find themselves nominated at the 2026 Golden Globes.

Many of the top content creators are already well-known in the industry, including former Globe host Amy Poehler (Good Hang With Amy Poehler), who won a trophy for Parks and Recreation. On her podcast, the actress enjoys light-hearted chats with high-profile celebrities as they share stories and laughs — no advice allowed.

Many fans would’ve forgotten that Daredevil and Superman acted together in a 2007 romantic fantasy film. A young Henry Cavill wore a blonde wig and played the pompous jerk Humphrey in Stardust, a movie starring Charlie Cox. The film is based on a story by Neil Gaiman, with Argylle director Matthew Vaughn helming it.

It is no wonder that you don’t remember seeing him in the film, because his role was relatively small and the film had a star-studded cast. However, Cavill’s breakout role came after this film in the medieval series, The Tudors. His role in Man of Steel in 2013 would earn him international recognition.

Nearly two decades after its debut, The Office (U.S.) continues to dominate pop culture, and much of its lasting appeal can be traced to one man, that is Steve Carell. Though the series began as an adaptation of the British original created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, it quickly surpassed the original.

According to the show’s creators and cast, the American version succeeded because of Carell’s performance as Michael Scott. True to say, the character could’ve easily been unwatchable, but became one of television’s best-worst bosses. And as someone who helped shape the show, Michael Schur knows exactly what made The Office (U.S.) outgrow its British predecessor.

Actors Who Almost Played Michael Scott in The Office(Photo Credit –Facebook)

Before Steve Carell became the face of The Office as Michael Scott, the role was hotly contested by a slew of actors. Imagine anyone other than Carell delivering classic “That’s what she said” lines or awkwardly steering his staff through cringeworthy team-building exercises. Well, that almost happened! The Dunder Mifflin boss wasn’t always destined to be Carell’s signature character.

In fact, The Office’s producers had a whole lineup of actors in mind for the role before Carell’s comedic genius won them over. But it wasn’t just about his talent, it was his performance in The 40-Year-Old Virgin that convinced NBC to keep the show alive, giving Carell the chance to shine as the most lovable (and painfully embarrassing) boss on TV. So, who else could’ve been Michael Scott? Let’s dive in!

After a successful theatrical run, Dog Man is heading to streaming. The latest animated hit from DreamWorks Animation will be one of several 2025 movies to hit Peacock in May.

Per Deadline, Dog Man is set to begin streaming exclusively on Peacock on May 30, about four months after it premiered in theaters in late January. This marks the third 2025 release that Peacock subscribers will be able to stream next month, after the forthcoming streaming debuts of Steven Soderbergh's acclaimed spy thriller Black Bag and the Ke Huy Quan-led action comedy Love Hurts on May 2 and May 9, respectively. Additionally, Universal's latest monster movie Wolf Man was recently added to Peacock on April 18.

Peter Hastings wrote and directed Dog Man, which is based on the best-selling graphic novel series of the same name by Dav Pilkey, loosely adapting the first, third, and seventh books. The movie sees "a faithful police...

Peacock announced on Wednesday morning that Dog Man, DreamWorks’ animated feature starring Pete Davidson, Lil Rel Howery, and more, is set to begin streaming exclusively on the service on May 30.

Adapted from the #1 global bestselling book series by Dav Pilkey, the author and illustrator behind kids’ phenomenon Captain Underpants, Dog Man sees a faithful police dog and his human police officer owner injured on the job. Thereafter, a harebrained surgery fuses the two of them together and Dog Man is born! As he embraces his new identity and strives to impress his Chief (Howery), Dog Man must stop the villainous Petey the Cat (Davidson) from cloning himself and creating an evil kitten, doubling his evil abilities. The story takes a turn when the kitten forges an unexpected bond with Dog Man and in the process, they discover the power of family to bring even the most hostile foes together.

Paul Feigis an accomplished director. He brought us A Simple Favor, and now, with its sequel, Another Simple Favor, coming out soon, Feig has been reflecting on his long and varied career. During a recent Q&a following Collider's early screening of Another Simple Favor, Feig spoke to Steve Weintraub about his time on The Office, reflecting on the comedic magic that's made it one of television's most beloved sitcoms. Feig has a long history of directing some iconic episodes of television. He worked on Arrested Development and directed 19 episodes of The Office, including "Goodbye, Michael," which was the last episode that Steve Carell's Michael Scott was a series regular.

During their conversation, Feig talked about the streaming life of the show and how fans continue to interact with the series. Based on an original sitcom from the United Kingdom created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the...

The Golden Globes just announced the date of the 2026 ceremony, for all those award show superfans who like to plan out their TV viewing schedules seven months in advance. Nikki Glaser will be returning to host, and presumably Ricky Gervais will be returning to tweet out worse monologue jokes from his bathtub.

While much of Hollywood seemed to enjoy Glaser’s act, the hype surrounding the comedian’s Golden Globes debut was very much focused on her comedy roast cred. Obviously this made some stars nervous. And, apparently, it made one star in particular very nervous.

Glaser appeared at the TIME100 summit, and revealed that several attendees of the Golden Globes told her afterwards that they were “really, really scared” about what she was going to say, purely because of the Tom Brady roast. But as Glaser pointed out, she’s “hired to be mean” at roasts, whereas at the Golden Globes,...

Michael Scott’s evolution into the goofy, heartwarming guy who’s actually good at his job has been quite immaculate to see unfolding on screen. But the jump the creators took from Season 1 to Season 2 was quite big, so big that fans of The Office, who often force their friends and family to watch the series, have to beg them to push past Season 1, because it actually gets better after that.

And it really does. So what really changed, exactly? Well, Michael Scott’s hairline was one thing, and his attitude and personality were also on the list.

Now, on the 20th anniversary of The Office, the show’s creators are finally pulling back the curtain on what really turned things around and how they almost didn’t get the chance to, if they didn’t change certain things. Turns out, a little heart, a lot of rewrites, and a...

As The Office celebrates its 20th anniversary, it’s hard to imagine the TV landscape without it. Before it became a cultural juggernaut, Michael Schur was convinced that making the show would be a terrible idea. In fact, Schur was so sure that it wouldn’t work that he almost passed on the opportunity to join the project.

What changed his mind? One unexpected meeting with co-creator Greg Daniels completely changed Schur’s perspective. That pivotal meeting with Daniels later shaped Schur’s career and changed the course of television history. Here’s how one strange meeting led to the creation of a cultural phenomenon.

HBO is known for its legacy shows such as The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, The Wire, and Game of Thrones. The premium network is known for its quality storytelling and was instrumental in ushering in the Golden Age of TV at the turn of the millennium. The shows that were aired during this time transformed TV storytelling.

However, in the age of streaming, there are plenty of networks and streamers who have built on HBO’s legacy. The network also has a streaming platform of its own in Max, which has been giving some excellent work in the form of The White Lotus and The Last of Us.

However, there are a few shows that seem to have fallen under the radar for fans, which proves that HBO is still one of the big players in the game. Here are 8 underrated HBO shows that did not get the love they deserved when they first aired.

On Wednesday April 23 2025, ABC broadcasts Live with Kelly and Mark!

Season 3 Episode 167 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “Live with Kelly and Mark” promises an exciting mix of humor and charm. Scheduled to air soon on ABC, the show will feature the talented comic Ricky Gervais and the well-known TV personality Lisa Vanderpump. Fans of both guests can look forward to an entertaining hour filled with laughter and engaging conversation.

Ricky Gervais, famous for his sharp wit and unique comedic style, will likely bring his signature humor to the show. Known for his stand-up routines and hit series like “The Office,” Gervais has a knack for making audiences laugh with his insightful takes on everyday life. Viewers can expect him to share stories from his career and perhaps some funny anecdotes that showcase his comedic genius.

Lisa Vanderpump, a beloved figure in the world of reality television, is also set to join the episode.

It’s been more than a decade since audiences said farewell to The Officeand the workers at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, and 20 years since the show first premiered on NBC. A spinoff, reportedly titled The Paper,has been in the works at Peacock, and now one former Office star confirms that he will be part of the new cast.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Oscar Nuñez, appearing on the Todayshow with fellow The Office castmate, Angela Kinsey, confirmed that he will reprise his role as Oscar Martínez for the new series. The new show will feature the same “mocumentary” feel with the same documentary crew that filmed the workers at Dunder Mifflin. However, in the new show, the crew will follow the workers at a struggling midwestern newspaper.

“They’re still editing and stuff,”Nuñez said. “It’s very, very exciting.”In February, it was rumored that Nuñez would be back for the reboot.

It’s hard to imagine anyone but Jason Sudeikis as the endlessly optimistic Coach Ted Lasso, but believe it or not, he wasn’t the first pick for the role that would go on to define his career. Before Sudeikis laced up Lasso’s iconic sneakers, the part was reportedly offered to big names like Chris Pratt and John Oliver.

Thankfully, they passed, and the rest is history. Ted Lasso didn’t just become a hit AppleTV+ show, it became a cultural comfort blanket and a major milestone in Sudeikis’ career. So, weirdly enough, fans might owe a little gratitude to Pratt and Oliver for giving them the version of Coach Lasso people never knew they needed.

NBC almost cast someone else as Ted Lasso, here’s who they picked first!

Seth Rogen may not be invited to present at an awards show anytime soon.

The Studio star and co-creator sparked controversy at the 2025 Breakthrough Prize ceremony, held on April 5 at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Often referred to as “the Oscars of Science,” the annual black-tie gala celebrates the world’s leading scientists and attracts a high-powered mix of A-list celebrities and Silicon Valley elite.

Rogen took the stage to present the Special Breakthrough Prize in Fundamental Physics alongside Edward Norton. Norton thanked the event’s major backers — tech billionaires and Breakthrough Prize cofounders Yuri Milner, Mark Zuckerberg, and Sergey Brin. But Rogen took the opportunity to pivot into politics.

“And it’s amazing that others [who have been] in this room underwrote electing a man who, in the last week, single-handedly destroyed all of American science,” Rogen said. “It’s amazing how much good science you can destroy with $320 million and Rfk Jr. very fast.

Johnny Depp once quipped, "I've had about 17 comebacks, and I don’t understand it because I didn’t go anywhere." Well, Day Drinker now marks comeback No. 18.

The three-time Oscar nominee for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Finding Neverland, and Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street just began production in Spain on the Lionsgate thriller Day Drinker. The plot follows a cruise ship bartender (Madelyn Cline) who becomes embroiled in a criminal enterprise with the titular alcoholic passenger (Depp) and a well-known criminal (Penélope Cruz). The first look photo featuring Depp (above) was released today.

Day Drinker marks Depp's first Hollywood film role since the conclusion of his highly publicized defamation trial against his ex-wife Amber Heard in 2022. Before that, the controversial actor was arrested for assault in Vancouver (1989), for hotel damages in New York City (1994), and for fighting with paparazzi in London...

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a police procedural workplace comedy series created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur. The Fox and, later on, the NBC series is set in New York City.

The sitcom has been around since the earliest days of television, when Lucille Ball, Dick Van Dyke, and Mary Tyler Moore ruled the airwaves. In 2015, there's countless more channels that existed in those days, but even with an endless amount of content to watch at any given moment, many viewers always find themselves drawn back to one particular modern classic: "The Office."

"The Office" originated in the UK, created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and starring the former as the insensitive Gm of a paper company. The mockumentary sitcom was adapted for American audiences on NBC in 2005, swapping out Gervais for Steve Carell, then known for his work on "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart." The show also boasted a supporting cast including future Hollywood icons like John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, and Mindy Kaling. 

Not every season of "The Office" has been its best, but the show's lovable characters...

The FX comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has made a mark in the sitcom space by its penchant for going against all established tropes. The ensemble comedy goes dark in every episode, and every time one hopes that the makers wouldn’t go to a darker space, they double down and go to a space that feels completely off-limits.

Hence, it was surprising for Iasip creator Rob McElhenney when other sitcom creators and actors such as Jerry Seinfeld crib about ‘wokeness’ ruining comedy. The Seinfeld star grieved about political correctness affecting comedy, citing a storyline from his own show that he claimed would not be allowed to air today, before McElhenney called him out.

Look, we all know Liam Neeson as the guy who’s going to find you and kill you if you kidnap his daughter, right? But here’s the thing – beneath that stern expression and those intimidating threats lies an actor with some seriously impressive comedy skills that don’t get nearly enough credit.

While he’s built his reputation on intense action roles and dramatic performances, our favorite Irish tough guy has actually been making us laugh for decades.

Ghosts has been a hit for the BBC in the UK and CBS in the U.S. Now viewers in France are going to get their own version of the comedy series, which follows a group of spooks from different eras who reside alongside a living couple who move into a country mansion.

The French series — Ghosts : Fantômes en Héritage — will drop on Disney+ in France and then play on commercial broadcaster TF1. The show was set up through BBC Studios, the French arm of which produces. It is a version of the Monumental-produced UK series not its U.S. equivalent.

The team behind the French comedy tell Deadline that having become fans of the show and its writing, they stuck closely to the stories from the UK series in their first season, which like its British forbear runs to six instalments. They are, however, already working on a...

It’s been over a decade since The Office aired its final episode, but the beloved TV show remains one of the most-watched and quoted shows of all time.

The NBC mockumentary series was based on the 2001–2003 BBC series The Office created by Ricky Gervais.

Whether you’re binging it for the first time or rewatching it after a dozen viewings, The Office is one of those reliable comfort comedy watches, thanks to the amusing antics and emotional interactions beloved characters like Michael Scott (Steve Carell), Dwight (Rainn Wilson), Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer).

Across nine seasons and over 200 episodes, some episodes stand out above the rest, and viewers have made it known. From hilarious cold opens to heart-wrenching goodbyes, The Office delivered some of the greatest moments in TV history.

We’ve rounded up a definitive ranking of the greatest episodes ever, based on viewer ratings on IMDb.

It seems odd to refer to 1988's "Willow" as "the Willow movie," but that's because every nostalgic intellectual property is ripe for refreshing in the modern franchise era, and "Willow" finally got a sequel streaming series on Disney+, also called "Willow." Over 30 years passed between the two, and that's a lot of time for actors to change or even pass away. Warwick Davis' passion for his biggest lead role without special effects makeup never waned, and his enthusiasm is palpable still as he struggles to get the series reclaimed from the Disney vault into which it quickly vanished (and we know the annoying reason why).

The original movie, written by George Lucas and directed by Ron Howard, was an attempt to do for fantasy what "Star Wars" had done for science fiction, and it even featured groundbreaking special effects, like the first use of digital morphing. It was a box office disappointment in its day,...

Grief is a parasite that sits in a mourner’s chest until they actively release it into the ether. Ask anyone who has grieved a loved one, and most will tell you it never really leaves. This phenomenon plays out in films in different forms: in a thriller (Searching), the grief manifests itself in the protagonist’s frenzied search for a reason for their loss; in an action film (John Wick), it breeds a vengeance in the protagonist, who succumbs to violence to release their grief; and in a romance (P.S. I Love You), it becomes a silent spectator to the insurmountable change wrought in the lead who is left behind. Transformation, however, is an inevitable outcome that comes to define the grieving protagonist. In recent years of global uncertainty in the aftermath of the pandemic, shows like Ricky Gervais’s Afterlife, Dead to Me, and Fleabag have charted new...

Quick LinksA Man Died From Laughing While Watching A Fish Called WandaThe Role of Wanda in A Fish Called Wanda Was Written for Jamie Lee CurtisKevin Kline Won His First and Only Oscar for a Fish Called Wanda

1998's A Fish Called Wanda was a zany heist comedy starring Jamie Lee Curtis as the title character. It had a script written by Monty Python alumni John Cleese, who also featured in a lead role opposite Curtis. The movie was a major success in its time and led to accolades for almost all of its major players. Screenwriter Robert McKee references it multiple times in his script-writing manifesto: Story: Substance, Structure, Style and the Principles of Screenwriting. To this day, it's considered by many to be a near-perfect comedy.

Curtis would eventually win an Oscar for the comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), but her performance in A Fish Called Wanda showcases her comedic prowess perfectly.

Part of what made the original British version of "The Office" and the early seasons of its American counterpart so engaging was that they both felt so tactile and believable. Sure, the later seasons of the U.S. version of "The Office" weren't its best, but initially, the characters and their interactions felt real, the drudgery of their office work felt real, and that very office itself felt real. No doubt helped by the well-executed mockumentary format and use of mostly unknown actors, this element of realism was part of what made the show as enduringly beloved as it became — everybody, at one time, had a boss like Michael Scott, and everybody had endured the beige, fluorescent hellscape that was the modern office.

It's a testament to the production team's talents on the U.S. "Office" (which Ricky Gervais wasn't involved with) that most of the series was shot on a set.

Isn’t it hoot how a show about the most unassuming of jobs—a paper company, no less—could become a touchstone of popular culture? As we sit here pondering its profound impact, we can’t help but recall Jim Halpert’s poignant line in The Office: “Everything I have I owe to this job—this stupid, wonderful, boring, amazing job.”

Ah, the irony! That’s the sweet spot that makes this NBC classic more than just a comedy—it’s a masterclass in paradox. It captured the beauty of life’s dullest routines, where we see ourselves reflected in the quirky, often maddening characters who spend their days at Dunder Mifflin or Wernham Hogg.

Who knew that a show about staplers, cubicles, and passive-aggressive pranks could become a profound meditation on human connection, vulnerability, and purpose? It wasn’t just a comedy—it was our comedy,...

The Officeintroduced audiences to the "World's Greatest Boss," Michael Scott (played by Steve Carell). But, when the actor left after Season 7, Dunder Mifflin had to find a new regional manager. Ricky Gervais, who co-created the British original series and played its version of Scott, named David Brent, was one actor rumored to take over from Scott. During a recent interview to celebrate The Office's 20th anniversary (feel old yet?), Gervais addressed his potential casting in the US version of the show and put a long-running rumor to rest.

Speaking to The Independent, Ricky Gervais was asked about the rumors surrounding his "failed" audition for The Office to replace Steve Carell. The comedian and actor confirmed that he was in talks to reprize his role as David Brent in the US version. However, press outlets and fans took those initial conversations and the end result wildly out of context. "When...

Twenty years ago, NBC premiered a new sitcom based on a hit U.K. series. The Office debuted on March 24, 2005, and was not an immediate hit in its initial six-episode run. The show struggled to find its footing out of the block, with several episodes virtually xeroxed from the storylines of its British predecessor created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant and transplanted, often clunkily, to Scranton, Pa. But soon enough showrunner Greg Daniels found his groove and leaned into the strengths of his formidable ensemble, led by Steve Carell, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and Rainn Wilson.

The Office would go on to become a must-see TV staple, running nine seasons and earning five Emmys in 42 nominations — and then becoming a hit all over again as a new generation rediscovered and binged The Office when it hit streaming. Until 2023, The Office held the record as most-streamed series, with more than 57 billion minutes watched.
