It seems fake, like a spoof made by the "Funny or DIE" people because it only has recognizable comedians or like it was made AFTER the Office was cast. Not saying it's bad, just... that is what it looks like to me. I know Stonestreet lost some weight a while back but he regained it. Here he is a couple weeks ago at a Dodgers' game: http://www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail...-cranston-record-a-video-news-photo/174508724 .
I thought when Pam interviewed for the Philly job with Odenkirk that his casting was based on possibly having auditioned for the Mike Scott role, as he would have been in those same circles and played basically the same role elsewhere. But seeing someone like Cho in there makes me think this was done after the fact with those actors' particular known styles in mind. Kathryn Hahn, between Parks and that Free Agents' show, seems to have a holding deal of some kind and has been on too much NBC stuff for this not to be part of that. Seems like she and Stonestreet would have been doing more movie stuff back then.
There was uncertainty about Steve Carrell's availability when the show was starting and Odenkirk was next in line to play Michael Scott.
Yeah, fake, the mannerisms are too similar to the current cast's, unless they stole those from the British version which I never bothered to watch.
