TV Pilot Club (The Office) - An LAist Virtual Event

A few hundred of your fellow TV fanatics got together to hash out the highs and lows of some all-time quintessential premiere episodes. LAist’s arts & entertainment reporter Mike Roe and a group of nostalgia TV superfans took a deep dive into these small-screen treasures and answered your questions live.

Starting in 2005, The Office gave us an inside look at the Scranton branch of the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company and introduced us to the signature Jim Halpert look-to-the-camera. A cringey boss, a drab corporate setting, and a workplace full of quirky co-workers made for a compelling and way-too-relatable half hour. Grab your World’s Best Boss mug and join LAist’s Mike Roe and special guests for a look back on all the camera confessionals, love triangles, and eye-roll-inducing moments that made The Office a hit.

Your panel includes:

Comedian/Writer Eliza Skinner, head writer & co-EP of Earth To Ned on Disney+

Podcaster Tiff Arment, co-host of Office podcast Somehow I Manage

Podcaster Chad Hopkins, co-host of Office podcast An American Workplace
