coming for past nine years, and I love all of these people. We’ve grown up together. We’ve had children. We’ve gotten married. We’ve gotten divorced. We’ve cried together. And that’s really what I’m gonna miss the most. We went from some really goofy kids nine years ago to the giant megalomaniac TV stars you see in front of you now. OSCAR NUÑEZ (Oscar): Season 1, Rainn came to work on a unicycle. This year, he comes to work on a chopper. He gets choppered in from Malibu. Are you going to keep any memorabilia, like, from your desk or some other part of Dunder Mifflin? ED HELMS (Andy): I had my entire house remodeled to look like the bullpen. So, I’m taking a lot of the stuff for that. I’ve also hired most of the cast to live there with me. I actually really want Andy’s Cornell diploma for some reason. I really like that. ANGELA KINSEY (Angela): I have my eye on a few cat figurines.
How different is life for you now than it was that first and second year? JENNA FISCHER (Pam): In real life, I got married. I had a very small wedding, and my mom was asking me, “So, who are you going to invite?” I said, “It’s just gonna be immediate family and a few friends. There’s gonna be no famous people there.” And my mom said, “Are you inviting your cast?” I said, “Yeah, I’m inviting my cast.” She said, “Those are famous people.” I think that we still feel about each other and see each other through the eyes of those first‑season relationships because, you know, you drove out of here. You passed by some pretty shady stuff on the way here. I mean, we don’t come to work every day in a glitzy place.
RAINN WILSON (Dwight): During that first year, John and Jenna and Steve and I all went out to lunch. We were shooting the pilot at that time, and I remember this really intense conversation we had. We were all like, “Could you imagine if the show got picked up—how cool that would be?” And then someone else was like, “What if it went for, like, a season?” It’s so weird now, nine years later, that lunch coming true. People have asked me, “What are you going to miss most?” Well, it’s really clear to me—this is my other family. This is where I’ve been
PHYLLIS SMITH (Phyllis): I want my Dundie—my first Dundie. KATE FLANNERY (Meredith): I actually saved a pelvis cast, so I would take my pelvis cast.
