>>> IT’S BEEN MORE THAN 15
YEARS, CAN’T BELIEVE IT, SINCE
"THE OFFICE" WELCOMED US INTO
ONE OF THE WILDEST WORKPLACES ON
TELEVISION.
NINE SEASONS AND MULTIPLE EMMY
AWARDS LATER, THE SHOW HAS ONLY
CONTINUED TO GAIN FANS.
>> WELL, NOW "THE OFFICE" HAS
COME TO NBC’S STREAMING SERVICE
PEACOCK, AND IT’S GOT ALL NEW
BEHIND THE SCENES CLIPS AND
EXTENDED CUTS.
>> HERE TO TELL US ALL ABOUT
"THE OFFICE" ON PEACOCK ARE TWO
OF THE STARS ON THE FAN-FAVORITE
SERIES, KATE FLANNERY AND OSCAR
NUNEZ, WHO PLAYED MEREDITH AND
OSCAR.
CHECK OUT WHEN THEY TRIED TO SET
UP A STING ON A RIVAL SALESMAN.
>> YOU’RE TAKING OVER.
YOU HAVE TO GET HER OUT OF
THERE, AS SOON AS YOU CAN.
>> I CAN DO THAT.
THEN WHAT?
>> THEN MAKE HIM PITCH TO YOU.
WE HAVE TO SEE WHAT HE’S GOT.
>> EXACTLY.
YOU CAN DO THIS.
>> REMEMBER, YOU’RE NOT GAY.
>> STOP IT.
IT IS GOING TO BE GREAT.
>> IF ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS,
JUST ROLL WITH IT.
>> MEREDITH, I --
>> OH, MANUEL, HE DOESN’T SPEAK
ENGLISH.
>> HOLA.
>> MANUEL, CLEAN-O EL WINDOW.
>> IT PUTS A SMILE ON MY FACE,
SEEING BOTH OF YOU.
GOOD MORNING.
>> GOOD MORNING.
>> THE SHOW’S FAN BASE, IT’S
ONLY GROWN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS SINCE THE SERIES
ORIGINALLY AIRED.
I KNOW MY NIECES AND NEPHEWS ARE
OBSESSED WITH WATCHING IT.
I THINK I SAY "THAT’S WHAT SHE
SAID" EVERY SINGLE DAY.
WHY DO YOU THINK THE SHOW HAS
REMAINED SO POPULAR?
>> WELL, IT’S THE BEST WRITING
IN TELEVISION AND CONTINUES TO
BE, AND, YOU KNOW, WE TREAT OUR
AUDIENCE VERY SMART.
WE DON’T TELL THEM WHEN TO
LAUGH.
>> IN ADDITION TO THE EPISODES
FANS KNOW AND LOVE, THIS IS
COOL, PEACOCK IS OFFERING
EXTENDED CUTS OF THE MOST
BELOVED EPISODES.
KATE, CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE
ABOUT WHAT THEY ENTAIL?
>> WELL, THERE’S A LOT OF
DELETED SCENES NEVER ON THE DVDs
THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN SEEN
BEFORE.
I DID ADR FOR ONE OF THE SCENES.
OUR OLD EDITOR CALLED ME, AND WE
WERE JUST BACK IN THE SADDLE
AGAIN.
>> I WAS GOING TO ASK, SO,
ESSENTIALLY, YOU HAD TO DO SOME
VOICEOVERS.
WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?
>> RIGHT.
IT WAS AMAZING.
I MEAN, IT’S LIKE THE -- WE’RE
LIKE A FAMILY, EVERYBODY.
IT WAS THE BEST NINE YEARS OF MY
LIFE.
OSCAR, I’LL SPEAK FOR YOU, OF
OSCAR’S LIFE, TOO.
>> GUY SS, TWO YEARS INTO THE
SHOW, YOU GUYS HAD "THE OFFICE"
CONVENTION IN SCRANTON.
WASN’T REALLY EXPECTING MANY
PEOPLE.
LIKE ALMOST 50,000 PEOPLE SHOWED
UP.
IT WAS CRAZY.
>> WELL, AL, ALWAYS HAVE
SCRANTON.
>> OSCAR, I’LL START WITH YOU.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS, THE FIRST
SEASON OR SO, DID YOU HAVE ANY
IDEA HOW BIG THIS SHOW WAS GOING
TO BECOME?
>> NO.
NO.
AL, I THINK WE SAW YOU -- DID WE
DO THE THANKSGIVING DAY PARADE
AFTER SCRANTON OR BEFORE?
>> BEFORE SCRANTON, YEAH.
>> OH, THAT WAS SO COOL.
THAT WAS THE FIRST TIME KATE AND
I MET YOU IN PERSON.
THAT WAS FUN.
YOU KNOW, JUST TO BACKTRACK A
LITTLE BIT, ABOUT YOUR NIECE AND
NEPHEW DISCOVERING THE SHOW.
THE SHOW, IT’S LIKE CHILDREN GO
FROM "PAW PATROL" TO ADULTHOOD,
AND THE SHOW IS ONE OF THOSE
SHOWS THAT WHEN YOU’RE, LIKE,
11, 12, 13, YOU’RE LIKE, I’M AN
ADULT NOW, I GET THE JOKES.
THEY’RE WATCHING IT WITH THEIR
FAMILIES, AND THEY FEEL COOL.
THEY’RE GROWN UP AND GET THE
JOKES.
IT’S ONE OF THOSE SHOWS.
SO EVERY FIVE YEARS, THERE’S NEW
KIDS DISCOVERING IT.
IT’S REALLY COOL.
>> I HAVE TO ASK YOU GUYS,
BECAUSE I’M CURIOUS, "THE
OFFICE" IS ALWAYS JUST ON IN OUR
HOUSE.
I THINK I’VE SEEN EVERY EPISODE
SEVERAL TIMES.
CAN YOU WATCH THE EPISODES THE
WAY WE DO, OR ARE YOU ALWAYS
JUST, LIKE, I DON’T KNOW, LIKE I
CAN’T LISTEN TO MYSELF TALK?
CAN YOU WATCH YOURSELF IN THE
SHOW AND REWATCH IT AS MUCH AS
THE REST OF US DO?
>> NOT AS MUCH AS EVERYBODY.
I MEAN, I LOVED IT.
I GET, I DON’T KNOW, EMOTIONAL.
I DON’T KNOW.
CRITICAL OF MYSELF SOMETIMES.
I DON’T KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT YOU, OSCAR?
>> I HAVE THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM.
A LOT OF ACTORS CAN’T SEE
THEMSELVES ACT, PERFORM.
I CAN ONLY SEE MYSELF ACT AND
PERFORM.
[ LAUGHTER ]
I SKIP EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE I
KNOW WHAT THEY’RE ABOUT.
THEY’RE GREAT KIDS.
GOD BLESS THEM.
I CONCENTRATE ON REALLY WATCHING
MYSELF AND STUDYING.
I SURPRISE MYSELF EVERY TIME.
>> HE’S HONEST.
I LIKE THAT.
>> LOVE IT.
>> KATE AND OSCAR, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR JOINING US THIS
MORNING.
WE NEEDED A SMILE TODAY.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> OUR PLEASURE.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU GUYS.
