Phyllis Smith

Yeah, a screenwriting duo.

Did I remember Damon Wayans was in this, or Vanessa Bayer, or Fortune Feimster, or Phillis Smith, or Ian Gomez, or Michael Hitchcock? Really just remember the top three.

[laughs]

And we'll get into it next episode.

Like, instead of, like, what's another show that only really has, like, instead of, like, The Good Place that really only has five really important characters, The Office has at least, it has over, like, seven characters.

There's also Phyllis and Stanley.

So like I was saying, there's just a lot of people.

And the amount of people only grows as we get farther into the show.

And then I'll just list off the main actors before I end this short episodes.

So it would be Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson...

Jenna Fisher, John Krasinski, Brian Baumgardner, Oscar Nunez, Angela Kinsey, BJ Novak, Mindy Kaling, Paul Lieberstein, Leslie David Baker, Phyllis Smith, Creed Bratton, Kate Flannery, and I believe those are all the main characters, and Craig Robinson and David Denman.

um but yeah that's that was a lot of people and it's very hard to keep up but if y'all want to like hear it in a way that's like slower i will like obviously you can look it up um and then i'll just say it again in the beginning of the next episode so yeah thank you so much for listening to this episode every listen is deeply appreciated i really hope that you enjoy the episode and if there's any questions about the office season one or if there's anything that you'd like me to break down like um You know, like, who are the characters? You can leave it in the comments.

And they didn't just stop at the writer's room.

Phyllis Smith was literally Alison Jones's casting assistant.

Wait, really? She wasn't an actor?

No, she was just sitting in the room reading scenes opposite the auditioning actors to give them someone to talk to.
