The cast had spent the entire day fighting off real tears while Carell filmed his final few scenes as Michael Scott, and now they were finally able to let them out as he gave a private farewell address standing next to an enormous white cake shaped like his already-iconic World’s Best Boss mug, a framed Dunder Mifflin hockey jersey, and four rectangular pizzas from his favorite Italian spot, Barone’s. But near the end of the seventh season, in the spring of 2011, it was used for a far more somber occasion: the real-life goodbye party for Steve Carell. Introduction: An American Workplace Throughout the nine-season run of The Office, the Dunder Mifflin ware- house set was the filming location for everything from a brutal all-staff roast of regional manager Michael Scott to the casino party where paper salesman Jim Halpert finally gathered up the courage to tell his longtime crush, receptionist Pam Beesly, that he was hopelessly in love with her. They'll have a front-row seat to the phenomenal sequence of events that launched not only The Office to wild popularity but other shows in the same genre, changing the face of television, and how we all see our office lives, for decades to come. They'll also learn how the show very nearly failed and get the inside story behind just why Jim and Pam's romance took so long to come to fruition. Through the participants' own words, and through the author's insightful commentary, readers will learn how the show came to America, and how the selection process of actors and the show's unusual format flouted every convention. The Office is packed with information die-hard fans will love and find only in this book. The stories he uncovered were fascinating, touching, hilarious, nostalgic - everything that a great article, and great book, should be, and Andy realised that having won the trust of so many of the key actors and writers, he had a unique, exciting opportunity to write the definitive account of the show's creation and success. In 2018, Rolling Stone writer Andy Greene wrote his most popular piece of all time: an oral history of just one episode of The Office, a fan favourite titled The Dinner Party.
