CraigHOST

CraigHOST
Greg, what was the
SteveHOST
number one song on the Billboard Hot 100?
CraigHOST
Oh, I know what Captain America made me feel.
24 MINS LATER
CraigHOST
Yeah.
CraigHOST
But what they did to that character, I know we've probably talked about it before, but what they did with Andy's character, I almost think the writers were just spiting him because they were so pissed that he was going to do the movie instead of The Office.
SteveHOST
Yeah, I've heard, I think, Greg Daniels talk about how the office had kind of an open door policy where, like, if somebody wanted to do something, they were more than welcome and they were supportive of them, like, doing a movie or whatever.
SteveHOST
But, yeah, I think when you look at it the way that they treated Andy Bernard, I think the writers may have not felt the same.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
It really was.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And to have Greg Daniels direct my episode, which I didn't know he was directing until I got on set.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so I thought I was going to vomit again, but I didn't.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I definitely did not do that on set.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
in an actor.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So, at least to me.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So I get to set and I see Greg Daniels and I'm like, what? You know, trying to be cool, trying to be cool.
Caroline FogartySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I didn't know he was directing this episode.
Brian MackHOST
Okay.
Brian MackHOST
Uh, with Greg Daniels, he also wrote, uh, in the following tree house of horror.
Brian MackHOST
He wrote the shinning with Greg Daniels, and then he wrote he's credited with this episode and credited with part of darkness.
Brian CorsonHOST
Oh, well, Bard of Darkness is also a, well, that's not a huge important episode, but it's a good episode from season six.
Brian MackHOST
I mean, it is to some people.
Paul MoriartyHOST
...
Paul MoriartyHOST
in a Greg Daniels show.
Paul MoriartyHOST
And his other colleagues are, uh, crazy people, Esmeralda, Ken, and loads of oth-others in the office kinda team up against him.
Paul MoriartyHOST
It's lovely watch.
Aaron SorkinGUEST
Okay, the first season was fantastic.
Aaron SorkinGUEST
For anybody who doesn't know, this is from Greg Daniels.
Aaron SorkinGUEST
It's not a spinoff of The Office.
Aaron SorkinGUEST
It's the same idea.
Jay KogenHOST
what is the show that you successfully guided to fruition? And just said like, man, so happy the work that went into that one paid off.
David KissingerGUEST
mean the one that i do think is for the ages is the office my only claim for having been a part of that is in helping to put together the ingredients the real hero of that story of course is greg daniels who's also a dear friend I believed completely in his ability to do it.
David KissingerGUEST
I believed that Steve Carell was absolutely the only man who could play that role.
David KissingerGUEST
And I fought for it pretty hard.
David KissingerGUEST
Yeah.
David KissingerGUEST
Maybe Fox wasn't the right place.
David KissingerGUEST
But one particularly painful example of this was a show that I produced with Greg Daniels a few years ago.
David KissingerGUEST
called People of Earth about a support group for people who've had alien abductions.
Ian Maxtone-GrahamGUEST
Very stressful to be there with these amazing writers.
Ian Maxtone-GrahamGUEST
You know, I mean, gosh, Dave Cohen, Ken Keeler, Greg Daniels, Brent Forrester, Steve Tompkins, Bill and Josh, Dan Graney, Jen Crittenden, who's been a good friend.
Ian Maxtone-GrahamGUEST
I worked on Veep with her.
Ian Maxtone-GrahamGUEST
All the people I'm forgetting about for no particular reason.
Lee Chwi LinHOST
It's basically season two of The Paper, which is out on HBO.
Lee Chwi LinHOST
Its showrunners are Greg Daniels and Michael Komen.
Lee Chwi LinHOST
You might know Greg Daniels, of course, from The Office.
Lee Chwi LinHOST
I think that's his most...
Lee Chwi LinHOST
Famous, known piece of work.
David SpadeHOST
Conan O'Brien was a Harvard boy, I think.
Dana CarveyHOST
Oh, oh yeah, him and Greg Daniels came in-
David SpadeHOST
Oh, yeah
Dana CarveyHOST

Edwin JanesHOST
This week, we're going to be talking a little bit more about the spinoff show from NBC's The Office, The Paper, which is in season two, which just released a little over a week ago.
Edwin JanesHOST
Alex and I talked about the first episode and some of our reactions expectations um for the series in last week's episode and this week we're going to be talking about episodes two through five so that begins with weekend ned and goes through dueling pencils um then we're going to head to the conference room we're going to talk about greg daniels uh creator of both the office and the paper and so many other things uh getting a star on the hollywood walk of fame getting a little bit of recognition some speeches and um steve carell gave a nice speech and then we're also going to hit emmy winners very quickly before we go but Before we jump into all of those things, Alex, what housekeeping do we have?
Alex WardHOST
Looking forward to next week, Edwin, we're going to be wrapping up the paper.
Alex WardHOST
So the, uh, you know, episodes six through 10.
15 MINS LATER
Alex WardHOST
And now it's like, Ned is having this relationship with someone who works for him.
Alex WardHOST
It just adds a layer of messiness that just to me is not additive to the show right now.
Edwin JanesHOST
I desperately would love to watch this show without making as frequent comparisons to the other Greg Daniels shows like this.
Alex WardHOST
Agreed.
