13 years after TheOffice aired the infamous 'Scott's Tots' episode, writer B.J. Novak looks back on the story and talks about why it's still so cringy.
The Office writer B.J. Novak looks back at one of the show's most infamous episodes,"Scott's Tots." Novak starred in The Office as Ryan Howard throughout its eight-season run, but the actor doubled as a writer during his time on the show. Co-stars Mindy Kaling and Paul Lieberstein also had dual roles as writers, which is why their characters' cubicles were placed in the back of the office.
I had no idea. It seemed great. You know, I was assigned the script, loved it, and it was only much later.... I think it's a sign of how deep into the show I was, or we all were, that we did not have a foot in the real world. Not that that was an unrealistic episode...that's exactly what Michael would do. That's exactly what Michael would feel. I also think that we can talk about it creatively. It makes a lot of sense to me.
He is such a believer, you know? And so his belief got ahead of him. And this is by far, you know...this is the biggest consequence of all. That is sort of this incredible distillation of why we love Michael so much and why he's made everyone's life so impossibly difficult, which is sort of the heart and the comedy of the series. But it's not usually that intense, you know?
