00:34 Yeah, but it doesn't take place in
00:37 in Pennsylvania
00:40 I don't know what Midwest Midwest somewhere just says Midwest someplace. Yes, and I do want to point out that

01:50 It's just a new thing and there's really no reason for my character to show up in something like that adding
01:56 But I'm excited about it. It sounds like a great conceit. I love the idea
02:00 I guess it's set in a failing newspaper company and John Krasinski who played Jim Halpert in the original series also

02:20 Although we might not see our favorite bromance Jim and Michael Scott team up again
02:24 There's no denying their real-life friendship is everything we need and more the duo had a hilarious
02:29 reunion for their upcoming film if blues played by Steve Carell who happens to be a dear friend
02:35 We actually worked together on this little thing a long time ago
