After a few minutes where Krasinski, clad in a suit jacket and tie, shared uplifting news stories from this trying time in front of an “SGN” sign crafted by his young daughters, he brought on his entertainment correspondent — who turned out to be none other than Michael Scott himself, Steve Carell. (Always the jester, Carell was quick to correctly point out that what Krasinski was wearing underneath his desk didn’t match his dapper top half.)
Carell appeared via Zoom — entirely thanks to his wife Nancy Wells — holding up a small sign with his name on it in place of a featured graphic. Along with Krasinski, the two reminisced about some of their favorite Office scenes to celebrate the show’s 15-year anniversary. The two marveled at the fact that the show turned out to be such a huge hit (Krasinski recalled that he kept his serving job after the pilot aired because he didn’t think it would succeed) and featured some of their all-time favorite moments — including the cold open where Jim impersonates Dwight Schrute (Rainn Wilson). The pair also fondly remembered how incredibly emotional it was to film the final goodbye between their characters when Carell left the show in its seventh season.
As far as a reunion goes, Krasinski has one idea: “Listen, I know everybody’s talking about a reunion; hopefully one day we just get to reunite as people and just all get to say hi.” A visibly emotional Carell responded, “Just to get to see your face is so great!” Krasinski then told his former TV boss that he misses him “a ton.”
