Really, there are few moments of The Workplace that aren't price amusing — or extra.
However there was one scene particularly that even had solid members in stitches, it was revealed on a current episode of the Office Ladies podcast, which is hosted by solid alums Jenna Fischer (Pam) and Angela Kinsey (Angela). Their visitor for the day: Brian Baumgartner, the actor who performed Kevin.
"Brian," Fischer mentioned, "I bear in mind if you sit on Steve's lap as Santa. And I do know everybody at all times brings it as much as you, but it surely was like we nobody might get via it."
The scene from 2009's "Secret Santa" — which begins at 1:56 within the video above — exhibits Steve Carell, as Dunder Mifflin department supervisor Michael Scott, dressed up as Santa Claus. Kevin sits on the smaller man's lap to relay his Christmas needs … or one thing.
Kevin, who's not identified for being very vibrant, doesn't even have a response to Santa's query about what he hopes to search out below the tree. (Nevermind that he's not a baby.) When Scott/Santa asks what he had anticipated to occur within the interplay, Kevin solutions actually, "I didn't know. No one has ever let me sit on their lap earlier than."

As comical because the second was to audiences, a number of the solid members discovered it simply as amusing. Mindy Kaling (Kelly), Ed Helms (Andy), and Rainn Wilson (Dwight) are all overtly smiling within the scene.
"For those who watch that episode," Fischer continued, "persons are breaking within the background. Mindy simply walks out. She simply turns and leaves."

Kinsey chimed in and Baumgartner confirmed that, "Ed dives behind the corridor."
The take they managed to movie with folks on the verge of laughter was genuinely the very best they may do.
"I believe [the crew] simply gave up," Fischer mentioned. "They have been like, overlook it. That is what it’s."
Baumgartner recalled, too, that he requested Carell if he was OK, as a result of the longer term Oscar nominee would make a pained noise each take. It was all for present, in fact, and he was effective.
The universe of The Workplace, which aired from 2005 to 2013, will proceed in an upcoming sequence for Peacock that's created by Greg Daniels, a co-creator of the unique U.S. model, and Michael Korman, of Comedy Central's Nathan for You. It's slated to star Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, and extra.
