TV The Office — in Japan?

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on Mon, May 19 at 10:33 AM

If you missed this weekend’s season finale of Saturday Night Live with guest host Steve Carrell—don’t cry. It was ohhhh-kay. BUT! It was the first episode in memory that I didn’t fast forward through any of the sketches. And here’s my fave of the night; Ricky Gervais (the original creator of The Office) explains where he got the idea for the show—from a nearly identical show in Japan! Fans of the American version won’t need a translator to get the jokes!
