If my life ever flashes before my eyes, it\u2019ll probably be 70% me watching \u201cThe Office.\u201d <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
And now I\u2019m reading about it, in Andy Green\u2019s anthology \u201cThe Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s.\u201d It\u2019s over 400 pages of thorough stories, including two from the first season, in which NBC dragged its heels renewing the show after greenlighting only six episodes. First from Kate Flannery, who played Meredith: <\/div>\n
\n

I kept my restaurant job through the first season. I was a waitress at Kate Mantilini in Beverly Hills. Sometimes showrunner Greg Daniels would come in to talk to me. I\u2019d be holding a tray of food and he\u2019d be like, \u201cI\u2019ve got to talk to you about saying the word vagina. We\u2019re going back and forth with the network on that, but really want to keep it.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

And Jason Kessler, production assistant: <\/div>\n
\n

My job that season was to drive around town and drop people\u2019s scripts off at their houses. I very specifically remember going to John\u2019s apartment in West Hollywood and he was playing video games with a friend. He invited me in to play. Normally, I would drop a script off at the door or I\u2019d knock on the door and hand it to him, and someone would say, \u201cOh, thank you very much,\u201d and just go into their house. John\u2019s the only person who ever invited me in.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
