Whether it's in business or personal relationships or whatever, things end, and then you have to get up the next day and keep dealing with your life. "It's a very satisfying send-off for Michael, but what I like is that it's not the final episode of the season. But they must've been very personal, because people weren't really sharing what they got," he shared. I remember seeing them delivered to people's dressing rooms. "Steve was even giving out presents to the cast and the crew. He also noted that there were masseuses on set to give mini-massages in between takes, and plenty of gifts and edible treats to enjoy during the last couple of weeks of filming with Carell involved. It really started to land for people that the end is coming," said Feig, adding that he full-on cried. "I was prepping and my assistant said, 'You should come down here.' The first time they started singing that song, everyone choked up in real life. In conversation with The Los Angeles Times around the time of the episode's premiere in April 2011, frequent Office director Paul Feig revealed that the scene was "so emotional" to film, and that the cast was getting incredibly worked up during shooting. By the time the song wraps up, everyone is nearly in tears, with Michael's eyes visibly welling up.Īs it happens, those tears weren't just for show. One of the standout lyrics from the original song is "525,600 minutes" (the number of minutes in a calendar year), but the Office characters altered it to be "9,986,000 minutes" (the number of minutes Michael Scott had worked at Dunder Mifflin). To bid their boss adieu, the employees of the Scranton branch of Dunder Mifflin sing a personalized version of the song "Seasons of Love" from Rent, the stage-musical-turned-feature-film. The one scene that The Office cast almost couldn't film came during season 7, on arguably the most memorable, heartfelt episode of the entire show: "Goodbye Michael," the 22nd episode of the season that marked the official farewell to Carell's Michael Scott. The Office (U.S.) Based on the British comedy of the same name, this acclaimed sitcom is told through the lenses of a documentary film crew and filled with gossip, pranks, romance and general foolishness at Dunder Mifflin Paper Co. But it also proved throughout its nine seasons on NBC that it could pack an emotional wallop just as deftly as it handled all its pitch-perfect comedy. One such moment was so emotional, in fact, it was quite difficult to shoot.
#OFFICE SEASON 8 CAST TV#
Between Steve Carell's portrayal of the bumbling, largely unlucky-in-life, good-hearted regional manager of a paper company Michael Scott and the hilarious hijinks characters like John Krasinski's Jim Halpert and Rainn Wilson's Dwight Schrute engaged in, The Office is the stuff of feel-good TV dreams.
The Office is remembered as one of the laugh-out-loud funniest, most endlessly quotable, binge-worthy sitcoms in recent history.
