The Office cast reunited at Sunday night’s Actor Awards, reminiscing about their years together on the hit show.
Mindy Kaling, 46, Jenna Fischer, 51, Angela Kinsey, 54, and Ellie Kemper, 45, took to the stage at Los Angeles’ Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall to present the award for outstanding ensemble in a comedy series to The Studio.
Before announcing the winners, the foursome launched into a hilarious speech about their years on The Office, quipping: ‘We are women who survived 22-episode seasons.’
Ellie, who played Erin Hannon, joked ‘you didn’t plan a season around a pregnancy,’ with Mindy, who played Kelly Kapoor and wrote for the show, continued, ‘Yeah, you gave birth on camera and then named the baby after a grip.’
Jenna, who starred as Pam Beesly, recalled the relentless schedule: ‘It meant Christmas episodes and Valentine’s episodes and Super Bowl episodes,’ before Mindy interjected, ‘And sometimes filler episodes that were kind of bad.’
Ellie added: ‘But it didn’t matter because there was always another one right around the corner.’

Angela Kinsey, who played Angela Martin and now co-hosts the rewatch podcast Office Ladies with Jenna noted, ‘We turned our experience into a podcast because people love behind the scenes stories.’
Mindy then asked, ‘Should I do a podcast about writing?’ to which Ellie retorted, ‘Oh Mindy, no-one cares about writers.’
The Actors Awards revealed the reunion was all down to Mindy.
‘Mindy Kaling sort of became a pseudo talent booker for our show,’ executive producer Mark Bracco told Variety.
‘We had reached out to her about being a presenter, and she came back with the idea of, ‘What if I did a reunion with all the women of The Office and we’re like, ‘Yeah!”
‘Within, like, an hour, she had texted all of them, and she basically booked them all for us.’
‘So she had texted with Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey and Ellie Kemper, and I’m not kidding, like, within 90 minutes, they were all booked and presenting on the show.’
The Office aired for nine seasons from 2005 to 2013 on NBC.
The American version of The Office was based on the classic UK series of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant.
