Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Who did not appear on an episode of "The Office" in the first five seasons?

Answer: Tina Fey

Tina Fey did not appear on the show, though Michael thought he spotted her when he was in New York.

While chasing after the "fake" Tina Fey, Michael misses seeing Conan O'Brien walk by the camera. O'Brien was a college roommate of writer Greg Daniels.

David Koechner appears as Michael's BFF Todd Packard throughout some early episodes.

Nancy Carell (Steve's real life wife) played real estate agent and Michael's girlfriend Carol Stills in several episodes. She was credited as Nancy Walls, but later professionally changed her name.
2. Amy Adams appeared throughout the first and second seasons as Katy, a purse saleswoman and Jim's girlfriend. For what movie did she earn her first Academy Award nomination?

Answer: Junebug

The talented Adams has appeared in all these films, but her first Oscar nomination (2006) came in "Junebug" for her role as the quirky and pregnant sister-in-law of Ben McKenzie's character. She also received an Oscar nomination for her role in the movie "Doubt" three years after her first nomination.
3. What Academy Award nominated actress played Michael's girlfriend and Dunder-Mifflin human resources representative Holly Flax?

Answer: Amy Ryan

All these talented actresses were nominated for Academy Awards in 2008, with Swinton winning Best Supporting Actress for her role in "Michael Clayton". Ryan was nominated for her work in "Gone Baby Gone". As Holly, Ryan won over Michael's initial prejudice against human resources, only to be forced to end the relationship when she was relocated to another branch.
4. Larry Wilmore appears as a diversity counselor in the episode "Diversity Day". On what popular comedy show did Wilmore contribute to on a regular basis?

Answer: The Daily Show

While he struggled to get Michael to take diversity training seriously, Wilmore has been a regular contributor "The Daily Show". He has served as a consulting producer on "The Office" as well. Steve Carell and Ed Helms also were key contributors to "The Daily Show" prior to joining "The Office".
5. Besides appearing with him in "The Office," in what motion picture did Wayne Wilderson also act with Steve Carell?

Answer: Evan Almighty

Carell has appeared in all these movies, but Wilderson has only appeared in "Evan Almighty". "Evan Almighty" was the sequel to "Bruce Almighty" which starred Jim Carrey and Jennifer Aniston in addition to Carell. In the sequel, Carell plays a recently elected Congressman who is picked by God (Morgan Freeman) to build a ark to protect the town from a future flood. Wilderson has a cameo as a reporter commenting on the events.
6. In the episode "Stress Relief", Andy, Pam, and Jim watch a pirated movie. Who does not appear in the movie?

Answer: Nicole Kidman

The gang watches the fictional movie "Mrs. Albert Hannaday". In the movie, Jack Black's character breaks up with his girlfriend played by Jessica Alba, to go after her grandmother (Cloris Leachman). Kidman was originally slated to appear in the movie, but dropped out of the filming.
7. Michael Scott loves the restaurant Chili's! Who played the part of the client he was trying to persuade to sign with Dundler-Mifflin in "The Client"?

Answer: Tim Meadows

"Saturday Night Live" alum Tim Meadows appears as Christian in the episode. The episode is important to the show, as it is the first time Michael and Jan interact romantically. Michael would of course lie about the extent of their involvement in future episodes.
8. What NFL great makes an appearance in the episode "The Convention" playing himself and ultimately rejecting Michael's invite to his party later that night?

Answer: Jerome Bettis

Bettis had an hilarious cameo in which he first gives a polite "maybe" to Michael's invitation, and then a sterner rejection when pressured by Michael. There was a great line when Dwight asks Michael why Bettis is nicknamed "The Bus" and Michael responds by saying he thinks Bettis is afraid of flying.
9. Who portrays Captain Jack on the "Booze Cruise"?

Answer: Rob Riggle

Like Steve Carell, Ed Helms, Larry Wilmore, and Tim Meadows, Riggle has appeared on both "The Office" and "The Daily Show". In the "Booze Cruise" Riggle must deal with Michael trying to take over the cruise in an effort to have it approved as a leadership training event. In addition to his comedic roles, Riggle is also in the United States Marine Corps Reserve.
10. Which restaurant never appeared on an episode of "The Office" in the first five seasons of the show?

Answer: Applebees

Benihana's plays a prominent role in the third season Christmas special. Michael, Jim, Andy, and Dwight go out to lunch there after Carol dumps Michael over an insensitive Christmas card.

Michael takes Jim to Hooters after Jim reveals to Michael his feelings about Pam. Jim is reluctant to go, but is afraid that if they stay in the office Michael will talk to him about Pam and she will find out about his feelings.

Poor Richard's Pub factors into a variety of episodes as a local bar and is featured in such episodes as "Local Ad" and "Cocktails".
