Paul Feig was under a lot of pressure before the release of “Bridesmaids” in 2011 — and it was more than just his own career on the line.

Speaking on a panel at SXSW the night after the premiere of his new film “Another Simple Favor,” he shared that in the lead-up to the release of “Bridesmaids,” he was told his success or failure could have a significant impact on how women’s ideas would be treated in the industry moving forward. Though Feig was the director, the film was otherwise led by women: Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo wrote the screenplay and appeared in it alongside Maya Rudolph, Rose Byrne, Wendi McLendon-Covey, Ellie Kemper and Melissa McCarthy.

“So many female writer friends of mine were going out and pitching female-led comedies, and they all heard from the studios: ‘We have to wait and see how ‘Bridesmaids’ does,'” Feig said. “I was like,...

Yeppers, it's true! The Office reboot just confirmed its first returning star, and the excitement for the in-the-works continuation series has officially increased. Obviously, all of us fans are excited to see what's in store for the upcoming Peacock follow-up of the beloved sitcom, but let's be honest, we're all waiting to find out who from the original could be coming back.

Well, our first Dunder Mifflin alum has boarded the reboot to reprise his character: Oscar Nuñez will bring back his character Oscar Martinez. Variety notes that Oscar will not be a central character in the new series set in the same universe as all our favorite characters. Additionally, he's been part of the pilot script from the beginning and will be in the mix with the other new characters.

Even though Oscar might not have been our first draft pick for a returnee in The Office offshoot, he's...

There’s no denying that The Office is one of the greatest sitcoms in television history. As a remake of the BBC series of the same name, the American version permeated pop culture to become a bona fide phenomenon that won five Primetime Emmy Awards over the course of its nine-season run. Now, a follow-up series for Peacock is hoping that lightning will strike twice, and its chances of success just got even better thanks to the news that The Office star Oscar Nuñez is along for the ride.

It should be noted that nothing has been officially confirmed, but according to industry insider Jeff Sneider, Nuñez is set to reprise his role of Oscar Martinez in The Paper, which comes from Office creator Greg Daniels and former Late Night with Conan O'Brien writer Michael Koman. Like its predecessor, the new series will once again be shot mockumentary style with a single camera,...

While there is nothing quite as perfect as New Girl, you need something to fill in the void. You’ve rewatched the show a thousand times, and now you want to check out something else.

There are some great comedies out there that bring the same humor and heartfelt storylines. There are comedies that had us shipping couples like crazy, and they brought up some important social topics with great comedic relief.

Not sure where to start to fill the void? Here are five shows like New Girl to watch next.

"The Office" had an impressive array of guest directors over the course of its nine-season run. J.J. Abrams, Harold Ramis, and Jon Favreau — who coincidentally was on the original shortlist of actors to play Michael Scott in "The Office" — all helmed episodes of the series. Another big-name guest director who wasn't brought on until the ninth and final season was Bryan Cranston, who oversaw the fourth episode of season 9, entitled "Work Bus." While the season itself isn't anyone's favorite stretch of the series, Cranston's episode is memorable for a very dark reason — namely, for almost killing the entire cast of the show.

The series' 180th episode overall, "Work Bus" saw the staff of Dunder Mifflin leave the office after Jim (John Krasinkski) convinces Dwight (Rainn Wilson) that the office itself is unsafe. Dwight then brings in an airport shuttle bus as a temporary workspace and the staff cram themselves...

When it comes to TV, romantic storylines have always been common, with some of the most popular fictional couples coming from network TV. While some of these iconic couples, like Ross Geller and Rachel Green (Friends), Pam Beesly and Jim Halpert (The Office), or Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big (Sex and the City), ended up together at the end of their respective series, some TV couples didn't end up being endgame.

Many TV fans are disappointed when their favorite couple does not end up together in the end. This can occur for many reasons, usually because one of the characters ends up with someone else or an actor decides to leave the show. Of the many beloved TV couples that didn't end up together but should have, some stood out more than others.

A team up between The Office stars and Green Day was not on my 2025 Bingo card, but I'm intrigued. The punk rock band known for hits like “Basket Case,” “American Idiot,” and “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life),” are working with two alums of NBC's most popular comedy show on an unexpected new movie. While the film has been described as a comedy, it is not related to the recently released and poorly received Australian version of the long-running show about printer and paper sales. The new film sounds much more exciting.

According to Variety, Live Nation Productions is partnering with Green Day to create a comedy film inspired by the band's crazy early days on the road, and is set to star The Office's Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey. New Years Rev is described as a coming-of-age story about three friends, who will be played by Mason Thames of The Black Phone,...

The Office remains one of the most beloved sitcoms of all time, but its later seasons left many fans divided. While James Spader’s Robert California is often criticized for the show’s decline after Steve Carell’s exit, a growing number of viewers argue that the real issue was Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard.

Despite Spader’s commanding performance, Andy’s transformation into an insufferable, self-absorbed manager ultimately did more damage to the show than Robert California ever did, at least according to some fans.

This season will mark the final time Pat will host the celebrity version of the iconic game show. Fans of Wheel Of Fortune have been eager to watch him host his last season.

Also, the 2024 presidential election coverage,...

Even long-time fans of Saturday Night Live and The Office have to admit that some jokes haven't aged well. SNL (soon to be 50 years old), and the U.S. The Office sitcom are both no strangers to controversial moments and jokes. When both shows collided in a special SNL sketch in 2008, the controversy was dialed to 11. Michael Schur, who wrote on SNL before writing the US Office, said he felt blindsided by the controversial sketch, and knows it hasn't aged well.

Appearing on The Lonely Island and Seth Meyers Podcast, Schur remembered the controversial pre-taped sketch. The episode saw Steve Carell host the beloved live-comedy show, and the episode joked about the US The Office ripping off the British version. The show's original creator, Ricky Gervais, opened the sketch, explaining how the British version was inspired by a Japanese show called The Office, before showing a "never before seen on American TV" clip.

The characters in Dunder Mifflin always managed to make us laugh. During its nine-season run, The Office‘s worst episode is rated at 6.4 on IMDb, which speaks a lot to the quality of the series. Unfortunately, that sad title goes to the 19th episode of Season 8, titled Get the Girl. It was an Andy-focused episode and Ed Helms’ character wasn’t exactly fan-favorite like Michael Scott.

Ellie Kemper and Ed Helms as Erin and Andy in The Office | Credits: NBC

In particular, the episode focused on Andy’s relationship with Erin, which didn’t sit well with many fans of the series. The Andy-Erin romance was dragged along for too long, from Season 5 to Season 9, only for Erin to end up with someone else leaving Ed Helms’ character a wreck at the end.

The comedy genre has been under attack for quite some time now as the studios have stopped making mid-budget comedy movies and refocused all their attention on big-budget blockbusters. Amidst all this, a niche sub-genre in comedy, like raunchy comedy films, has been forgotten. If it’s not a classic like American Pie or Road Trip, people don’t even remember most of the fantastic raunchy comedies that came out. So, we compiled a list of the best underrated raunchy comedies you might have missed out on.

The Office cast members have a mini reunion in a heartwarming new image following Jenna Fischer's cancer update. First airing on NBC in 2005, the hit sitcom serves as an American remake of the British show of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.

Known for playing receptionist Pam Beesly in the show, Fischer revealed via social media post in October that she had been diagnosed with breast cancer but, following treatment, is now cancer-free.

Mindy Kaling, who played Kelly Kapoor in the show, now shares a new image on Instagram of her reunited with Fischer, Angela Martin actor Angela Kinsey, and Erin Hannon actor Ellie Kemper.

TV shows need compelling protagonists, but some great shows end up having more interesting supporting characters. The main character is the one who advances the plot and carries the bulk of the show's drama, but this doesn't always guarantee that they will be the audience's favorite. Supporting characters have the opportunity to bring something different to the show, and they are unburdened by the need to directly impact the main plot.

Comedy shows are more likely to have supporting characters who outshine the protagonist. In drama shows, the story is usually too important, so the protagonist has to be the most interesting character or the entire show could fall flat. Comedy offers a bit more leniency, because audiences don't necessarily need to be captivated by the main character's personal journey to enjoy the humor of the show and the subplots.

The Office The Office Wouldn't Work Without Its Fun Ensemble...

Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Daredevil aren't two shows that are often mentioned in the same breath, but in 2019, the two Netflix shows crossed paths in a very unexpected way. The Ellie Kemper-led sitcom and the Charlie Cox-led superhero drama shared very little in common other than their New York City setting. However, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt found a way to openly acknowledge Daredevil in a very clever and meta way before the sitcom came to a natural conclusion after four seasons in 2019 and went out on a high.

Inversely, Daredevil being axed after three seasons remains one of the most painful Netflix cancelations to date. Thankfully, the Daredevil: Born Again cast is almost a complete reunion of the original show, suggesting Disney+'s upcoming show will serve as a direct sequel to the Netflix effort. Interestingly, even after Daredevil's final episode was released in October 2018, Marvel fans were treated...

Peacock’s new spinoff series of “The Office” has recruited seven new guest stars across series like “The Conners,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and “Loot.”

The guest stars join previously announced ensemble cast, which includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore, Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Alex Edelman, Ramona Young and Tim Key as series regulars. Eric Rahill was also previously announced as a guest star.

Set in the same universe as NBC’s series “The Office,” the new mockumentary series will turn its attention to a dying newspaper.

Netflix is well known for its original content, and many of those titles are geared toward families. In November 2024, the streamer has a massive list of new releases, including several family favorites, including a new fantasy Spellbound, The Fairly OddParents: A New Wish, Pokémon Horizons: The Series part 4, and more.

The US version of The Office remains one of the best sitcoms produced. Throughout the series nine seasons, the Dunder Mifflin family and crew provided laughs to audiences and gained a solid fanbase that holds strong even a decade after the series finale. While fans fell in love with the endings for Michael, Jim, Pam, Dwight, and Angela, one series regular left off on such a sour note that viewers couldnt help but wonder what had happened. Andrew Bernard deserved so much better than his The Office finale. So why didnt the writers give it to him?

If any show disproves the idea that all remakes are rubbish, it's The Office. The Steve Carrell-led comedy, which first aired in 2005, was initially met with skepticism. Critics understandably raised concerns about how American optimism would combine with the caustic cynicism of Ricky Gervais' much-loved original, and early reactions suggested that The Office would go the way of other ill-advised trans-Atlantic TV clones. 19 years later, not only has The Office stepped out of the short-lived BBC series' shadow, but that it deserves to be considered on its own terms as one of the all-time great comedy series.

He goes by many names: Michael Scott, Michael Scarn, Michael the Magic, Date Mike, Prison Mike, and even Blind Guy McSqueezy (some of the jokes have become a bit dated), but Steve Carell's lovable idiot from The Office almost had many other faces, as the show's casting director was eyeing several Oscar-caliber actors for the part. It's hard to imagine the US version of The Office without Steve Carell's Michael Scott - NBC tried to for the final two seasons and it didn't work. It's almost guaranteed that the show wouldn't have become the sitcom monolith it's now known as without him. But, in an alternate universe, The Office would have been led by some other insanely talented and insanely different actors.

With the highly-anticipated sequel to the hit mockumentary series The Office greenlit by Peacock, one producer on the original show is looking forward to whats to come. Justin Spitzer, who was a producer on The Office told Screen Rant hes excited about the new series, which is reported to be called The Paper, and will follow the lives of reporters at a declining newspaper.

I havent had anything to do with The Office reboot or spinoff or whatever theyre calling it, so all I know about it is what Ive read in the press. But Im very excited to see it! Spitzer said. I remember when I heard they were going to do an American remake of the British Office, and I thought, Theres no way anyone can do justice to the BBC original. But, then Greg Daniels pulled it off. So if theres any writer up to the challenge...

Every fan of The Office can agree that the role of Michael Scott was perfectly cast. With Steve Carell in the role, the American remake of the British series of the same name became a major hit that earned the actor six Primetime Emmy Award nominations.

Before landing on Carell, there was a lot of pressure to find the right person to play the boss of Dunder Mifflin Paper Company's Scranton branch. On the Office Ladies podcast, which is co-hosted by cast members Angela Kinsey (Angela) and Jenna Fischer (Pam), The Office casting manager Allison Jones recently spoke about the original casting choices for Michael Scott. In the very first meeting to discuss possibilities, Greg Daniels who developed the American version of The Office of NBC and the other creatives suggested Oscar winners Philip Seymour Hoffman (Capote) and Paul Giamatti. However, Jones also admits that these ideas didn't get very...

The Office was originally created in the U.K. but it was the U.S. version that stole the viewers' hearts, between many other international versions. The popular sitcom ran for nine seasons between 2005 and 2013, and the series finale also included a beloved guest appearance.

The U.S. version of The Office followed the work lives of the employees of a paper company branch and had a big ensemble cast. The main cast consisted of Steve Carell, Rainn Wilson, John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer, and B. J. Novak. Carell, who played Michael Scott on the sitcom left at the end of Season 7 and had a guest appearance in the finale, but recent episode of Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey's Office Ladies podcast (via CinemaBlend), the two revealed Carell was hesitant about returning as Michael in the finale.

On the day of what could easily be the most important election in the history of the United States of America, feeling a bit of anxiety, regardless of who you are rooting for, is natural.

Steve Carell's appearance in The Office's final episode wasn't just a surprise to audiences. On the latest episode of the Office Ladies podcast, hosts Jenna Fischer (who starred as Pam Beesley) and Angela Kinsey (who portrayed Angela Martin), shared details about Carell's memorable return to the series. Carell hilariously portrayed Dunder Mifflin's branch manager Michael Scott for seven seasons. He exited The Office in 2011 but famously returned for its 2013 finale. The crew acted secretly to get the Golden Globe Award-winning actor back on the show, and even some of the cast didn't know he would be featured in the finale. Kinsey was one of the people who had no idea that Carell would return, and Fischer shared:

It was really hard not to tell you ... and you did not find out until he showed up on set that day.

Just weeks after the release of the female-led Australian version of The Office, the hit sitcom is getting yet another international remake. Created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, The Office franchise follows the everyday shenanigans of employees at dead-end corporate companies and their overly-eager bosses. The show debuted in the U.K., but the U.S. version, starring Steve Carell, helped propel the franchise to international acclaim.

Per Variety, La Oficina is the new Mexican interpretation of The Office, which comes courtesy of Amazon MGM Studios. The show will be directed and executive produced by Gary "Gaz" Alazraki, with Marcos Bucay acting as showrunner. The new show follows the Jabones Olimpo (Olimpo Soaps) company, and their regional manager, Jeronimo Ponce III. The official announcement reveals the new show will follow a similar format to its predecessors, reading:

There’s no denying that the US version of The Office has maintained its popularity, even after decades, since the show’s finale. So much so, that the series now sparks dubious talk of a reboot every other month. But while the majority of the show’s popularity was based on characters like Michael Scott, Dwight Schrute, and John Krasinski’s Jim, a few have related to characters like Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard.

Ed Helms in The Office | image: NBC

Introduced in the third season of The Office, Ed Helms’ Andy Bernard joined the Dunder-Mifflin Paper Company, and immediately came off as a doofus and a jerk, rubbing his Ivy League education in people’s faces. However, although Andy outraged a number of fans, the actor behind the character was deeply pleased by his role. So much so that Helms even admitted to relating with his character and aspired to be more like him.

Sometimes, the absence of a TV character was so great that the showrunners had no option but to bring in a replacement to fill the void. There are many reasons this can happen, from actors wanting to move on before interest in the show has started to wane or even behind-the-scenes controversies that mean a vital character must be written off without warning. Occasionally, character replacements, such as the addition of Winston replacing Coach in New Girl, work out well. However, theyre often complete disasters that frustrate viewers who long for the return of the original star.

TV character replacements are different from when a part gets recast, as rather than trying to push a different actor into a previously established role, this is when a new character is created to fill the void. While they often share similarities with their predecessor, this is not always necessary, as some shows...

Michael Scott from The Office stands among the pantheon of legendary sitcom characters, alongside Rachel and Ross (Friends), George Costanza (Seinfeld), Al Bundy (Married with Children), and Ron Swanson (Parks & Rec). But he wasn't always the World's Best Boss, as director Paul Feig revealed that early ratings for the show suggested a seething hatred for the character from audiences. That is until Steve Carell flipped the entire dynamic with a single, inspired acting choice.

Appearing on the Dinner's On Me podcast, Paul Feig recalled working on the earlier seasons of The Office and the mixed audience reaction to Michael Scott's early persona. "So Steve was this huge star all of a sudden, and they had this huge star in the show that they thought wasn't working, and it wasn't working in the ratings," he began. Feig directed several episodes of the adored sitcom, including a pivotal moment which saved...

In her post, she explained that on December 1, 2023, she was diagnosed with Stage 1 Triple Positive Breast Cancer, an aggressive form of breast cancer thats thankfully receptive to treatment. After a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and unwavering support from her friends and family, Fischer is now cancer-free.

It didnt take long for familiar faces to show up and share their support for Fischer. Several The Office costars commented on her post to share their support. Ellie Kemper (who played Erin in the series) expressed her love for Fischer and thanked her for sharing her story and inspiration. Similar support was sent from costar Angela Kinsey, who said,...

When it comes to the format of long-running television, there's always the possibility of a disappointing finale. With longer-running shows, audiences become so invested in the stories and characters of a TV show that an underwhelming finale can feel very upsetting after years of build-up. There are a few well-known TV shows that had infamously disappointing finales, such as Game of Thrones.

While some TV show finales were always a big event in pop culture, many of them didn't live up to expectations. However, there are many instances in which the penultimate episode, the episode before the finale, was a better watch. While these instances do not necessarily mean the finales were bad, the penultimate episodes were slightly better for fans who made it all the way to the final season.

Viewers were drawn not only to the intricate investigations but also by the evolving personal lives and relationships of the main characters.

Sitcoms are some of the best and most popular TV series out there. They're incredibly versatile shows, as any premise with a suitably funny spin can make for a great "situational comedy." One of the hallmarks of a great sitcom is the incredible characters that populate them. Having an enjoyable and likeable main cast is tantamount to making the premise work, but it goes beyond that. These shows also need a variety of other characters to bounce off of. The best shows make these characters so good, that fans will be wishing they got to see more of them.

There are absolutely tons of underrated sitcom characters. From main cast members, to reoccurring roles, to bit parts, there's a lot that exists in the world of "what could have been." Sure, there's such a thing as "too much of a good thing," but there is also such a thing as...

Very often, a fictional character gets a total hate mob whipped up against them. Sometimes it's justified take Joffrey from Game of Thrones for example, who was a psychopath and a killer but sometimes it's not. Sometimes, all the character did to get hate from fans was get in the way of a relationship or make a single bad decision.

Unfortunately, this very often has a negative impact on the person playing that character. There have been awful stories about actors coming out years later and talking about how the hate affected them as people. No matter what the character did, going after the actor is never okay.

Hannah works as the managing director of a packaging company that's not so different from Dunder Mifflin, as she's even joined by several characters who may feel reminiscent of those from the well-known UK and United States versions of The Office. The trailer, posted to YouTube, can be watched below.

Some remakes change the tone or setting of the original, like Dynasty moving from Denver to Atlanta and Bel-Air's grittier approach.

Ever since Bridesmaids was released in 2011, fans have been hoping for a sequel. While director Paul Feig has been hesitant to develop a follow-up, he hasn't completely shot down the idea.

"It's funny to me... So many people think they want something," Feig told The Direct when asked about a potential second Bridesmaids film. "Sequels are so hard to get right. And the reason that movie works so well. It's outrageous and hilarious, but it's also because her character is going through this major life crisis. And she comes out the other side victorious. To do a sequel... We don't want her to have another major life crisis. So maybe it's just a big funny wedding. If a great script or a great idea came up, I think we would all jump at it, but at the same time, it's kind of a great thing to just sort of leave it alone.
