The Office is without a doubt one of the most popular comedy series in the US. It was based off the British TV show of the same name. The show was shot in a mockumentary style, with no laugh track or studio audience. It follows the lives of office workers in the Scranton, Pennsylvania, branch of the fictional Dunder Mifflin Paper Company. Even though it started out a little rocky, with a mostly unknown cast and relatively low ratings, the show took off and went on for nine seasons. As with any TV show, there are many things the fans may not know about it, so we’ve decided to gather some fun facts about the hit show.
Instant Chemistry
During the audition process, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer met for the first time and had pretty much immediate chemistry. While the producers held castings for different combinations of actors to see who clicked best, Jenna and Jim seemed like the best fit for the roles together. Once they got the parts, the first thing each one asked was whether the other got the part as well.
