Why ‘The Office' cast would sneak back onto set after hours: Brian Baumgartner

It was after business hours. 'The Office' star Brian Baumgartner has revealed that the cast used to sneak back on set after filming — for one key reason. 'There were some nights where we came back to Dunder Mifflin late at night when the shooting had stopped,' Baumgartner, 52, exclusively told The Post. 'The people who were involved in the Fantasy Football league would sit at all of the working computers, and draft in person together there.' 9 Brian Baumgartner in his interview with the New York Post. 9 Brian Baumgartner as Kevin with his chili on 'The Office.'

'Those are very fond memories, for sure.' Baumgartner played the chili-loving Kevin Malone from 2005 to 2013. The NBC comedy also starred Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, Rainn Wilson, Jenna Fisher and Mindy Kaling. They played staffers at the paper company, Dunder Mifflin. Baumgartner is still in a fantasy football league with many of his former co-stars, including Wilson and Krasinski. 9 Brian Baumgartner with Samuel Adams Octoberfest.

'I do a fair amount [of trash talking.] I'm very active….during the draft,' he said while promoting his partnership with Samuel Adam's Octoberfest beer, including a limited-edition Fall Legends Commissioner's Kit for Fantasy Football season. 'If you draft wrong, you're going to hear from me, probably Rainn Wilson as well. He's a big trash talker.' Carrell, however, isn't in their league. 'He's kind of a Patriots guy. And hockey is more Steve's thing,' he noted. 'Steve still played hockey while we were shooting the show in a rec league.' The cast would even play Fantasy Football on their characters' computers when the cameras rolled. 'We were probably all much better players when we had time there to just sit and look at our computers,' he said. 9 Kate Flannery as Meredith Palmer, B.J.

NBCUniversal via Getty Images 'We were doing that, and paying bills. That was another popular activity because we were there so many hours during the week. We would pay bills, and get personal business done.' The show exploded in popularity during the 2020 pandemic. According to Nielsen data, 'The Office' was the most streamed show of 2020, raking in over 57 billion minutes viewed. He recalled an incident when, 'I was chatting with Rainn [Wilson] and I said, 'it feels like the show is as big as it was when we were at the height.' And I remember this specifically, he said, 'no, it feels bigger.'' 9 Jenna Fischer holds up a piece of cake celebrating the 100th episode of 'The Office' as Brian Baumgartner, Steve Carell, Angela Kinsey, and B.J.

'It's hard to really have people understand how small that conference room really was. [Creator] Greg Daniels kept it very small because he wanted it to have that sort of claustrophobic feeling,' he told The Post. 'We all felt a little punch drunk…..Steve really thrived in those moments and very clearly to me, he did his best to try to make us laugh.'

Day 3 of trial for alleged mastermind in Young Dolph murder

Hernandez Govan will be live in the courtroom at 9:30 a.m. in the video box above. MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Hernandez Govan, the man accused of orchestrating the death of rapper Young Dolph, is set to appear in court for day three of his trial Wednesday morning. On Tuesday, Angela Arnold, the girlfriend of Cornelius Smith, was the first witness to take the stand. She told the court that to her knowledge, Smith never had direct contact with Big Jook and that he would communicate with Govan to send and receive messages. She also testified she saw Govan at a carwash hours after Young Dolph's death, when Smith picked up a cellphone from Govan he had left in the white Mercedes used in the murder. Various Memphis Police Investigators were then called to testify in court, along with cell phone records. According to the investigators, they went over calls and text records of Goavn, Smith, and Big Jook in the months leading up to the murder and afterward. They say Smith appeared to have several outgoing calls to Govan. But in cross-examination, Govan's defense attorney explained the reasoning for their communication, saying, Govan supplied Smith with various types of pills, and Johnson talked with him because he was an aspiring rapper. Another investigator who testified said detectives went to the airport to execute a search warrant on Big Jook's phone and asked if they could speak to him, but he refused. This story will be updated. ► Day 1: Trial of alleged mastermind in Young Dolph case ► Day 2: Trial of alleged mastermind in Young Dolph case Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
