When we were prepping this episode, it came to my mind. The Bruce Willis roast is real good, but in particular, Ed Norton roasts Bruce Willis. Jenna Speaking of roasts, you know, Comedy Central has kind of taken over where the Friars Club left off and they do these roasts of people every year. You guys are so lucky you get to roast me. And so I think that's another thing that is playing off Michael right now, which is that he's going to be an honoree.

And it was a great honor to be the person being roasted. Jenna Also traditionally roasting kind of started with the Friars Club, I believe. I love that he's like, make fun of, you know, how great I look in shoulder pads or. Angela So here's your chance guys, have at it, you know, roast me, say whatever you want. Angela Well, you know, I think Michael thinks everyone doesn't like me because I'm this jerk. And every year the medical students would put on a show and it was like kind of like a Follies show and they would do skits where they imitated their professors. So he told the writer's room that when he was growing up in Atlanta, his father was president of a medical school. Jenna Halsted told me that they had the CPR storyline for the first half of the episode and they needed something for the second half. Jenna It is none other than the man behind Princess Unicorn, Halstead Sullivan. And I found out who pitched this part of the story, the idea of the roast. Jenna We as actors did not participate in writing these jokes known about one another. Jenna Jessica K and Claire R asked, who wrote the jokes for Michael's roast? Did the cast help? Was it the writers? Was any of it improvised? Short answer is the roast was totally scripted. Fast fact number two, we had a fan question about the roast. Jenna Dean edited the first half of the episode with the whole fire drill and Dave edited the second with the roast, which is what we will be talking about today. I would also like you to know that our editors, Dean Holland and Dave Rogers, were also nominated for an Emmy for this episode. Jenna I mean, I literally love Jeff Blitz. Angela So Jeff Blitz has been on our show before. Jenna Fast fact number one, Jeff Blitz won an Emmy for directing this episode.
#Oscar youre gay boom roasted movie
Jim and Pam and Andy are watching this pirated movie that stars Jack Black, Jessica Alba and Cloris Leachman. And so we had this whole little movie playing out. Angela And the network wanted big name stars, and our show was like, hey, no, we don't do that, not at this moment. Jenna Also last week, I want to remind everyone that this episode played after the Super Bowl. Jenna What's going on? I think we mentioned this fact in an earlier podcast, but it is interesting. Angela And her best friend is named Angela. Jenna And my brother in law's name is Dwight. Angela Does the world know that? Because someone out there right now being like, what? Jenna Incidentally, my dad's name is Jim. Jenna I cannot imagine asking Lee to go talk to my parents about their marriage. Like, Pam, will you go talk to my parents? Pam's dad has been staying with Jim and Pam and Pam at the end of the last episode said, Jim, will you talk to my dad? Meanwhile, Jim is still embroiled in these marital issues that Pam's parents are having. This is going to be his comic relief moment. Angela And we're laughing and drinking like Dean Martin. Jenna Where we all roast him and tell jokes at his expense. And so he thinks the best thing to do is to throw a roast. Jenna This week, Michael learned that he was the source of Stanley's stress, not Dwight, not the fire drill. Angela He like trapped us in a burning building. Last week, if you remember, Dwight took matters into his own hands when his coworkers failed to pay attention to his fire safety seminar. This is Season five, Episode 15, written by Paul Lieberstein, directed by Jeffrey Blitz. Jenna We're going to be here to refined today. Angela Each week we will break down an episode of The Office and give exclusive behind the scenes stories that only two people who were there can tell you. Jenna And now we're doing the ultimate Office rewatch podcast just for you.
