The Office PaleyFest LA 2007: Full Conversation

Cast and EPs of NBC's The Office gather at PaleyFest LA 2007 to celebrate their show. Topics include: Michael Scott's place in the show's "pantheon of doofuses"; Carell's memorable onscreen kiss with Nunez; whether the show's in-the-making "documentary" will ever be shown to the public; the producers' faithful portrayal of Scranton, Pennsylvania; whether Scrantonicity will ever release a CD; how Jones feels about getting "rooted against" in the show's Jim-Karen-Pam love triangle; plans for more hour-long episodes and director's cuts; and what Creed's job at Dunder-Mifflin actually is.

Kevin and Kelly too

[@LifewithCheyi]

The way I was so shocked hearing Kevin be completely intelligent and normal and Angela, Kelly, Michael. I mean all the cast is a testament to how amazing they are as actors and playing characters that are completely different then who they are and fouling the audience. It could be who they are? haha I didn’t think it was possible, I just couldn’t picture them normal either 😂 until this interview. Bravo!!!! Great work. I love the show ❤

The final trivia was so fun

[@simsandsurgery1]

So it really amazed me how much you could tell this was from so long ago. For a lot of it, it seems perfectly at home in the modern day, then at a certain point the moderator comes out with the line “I feel like I should blackberry you” and you know it’s because that’s what it was back then… it was before iPhones and smartphones and she wasn’t saying it ironically… Edit: The MySpace comment…

wow, this is right in the middle of shooting season 3 or 4. You can see like they where just casted or talking timid like it´s a local theatre play hahah. And on 15:11 that dynamic of the camera beeing a character on the show is the first time that the concept of interactive-video's previous step was not there at the time ir ut would have been better. Because it´s a perfect connection with the audience as the story arcs develop, the camera goes exactly where you would incstintively look almost everytime.
