John Krasinski’s kids have the funniest reactions to “The Office.” One of the stars of the iconic television show shared how his two children responded after seeing a couple of episodes of the program. Watch the short but hysterical clip to hear John describe how his kids responded to “The Office.”
“The Office” is one of the most beloved sitcoms ever. It’s a well-written and quotable program that can be watched repeatedly without growing tired of it. The show is also incredibly relatable. Who hasn’t worked in an office and encountered someone like Kevin, Meredith, Creed and Dwight? Hopefully, you have never had a boss like Michael Scott!
John Krasinski, who played Jim on “The Office,” was one of the show’s main characters. While not hiding how much he utterly despised selling paper, Jim constantly played hilarious pranks on Dwight and was head-over-heels in love with Pam, the office receptionist. In a clip posted on YouTube, John told Stephen Colbert that his children had just started watching “The Office” and shared their responses.
John mentioned that in one of the program’s early episodes, in which Michael pretends to fire Pam, his oldest daughter got pretty upset.
“They were watching the first episode, and my oldest, turns out she’s a screen-talker-atter,” he said. “So, she’s talking to the screen, and so when Steve fired Jenna, she goes, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing?’ And then she goes, ‘You’re a horrible person!’”
Then, when his other daughter spotted her father on the screen, she kept asking John if that was, in fact, him in the show. He told her it was him, but she refused to believe him.
“And she goes, ‘You look very different,’” he recalled. “And I said, ‘No, that’s me. I’m just playing a character,’ and she went, ‘That’s not you.’”
