'The Office' star and writer Mindy Kaling caused a stir on social media after she claimed on 'Good Morning America' that the beloved show, which still replays constantly, couldn’t be made today. “That show is so inappropriate now,” Kaling said.
“The writers who I’m still in touch with now, we always talk about how so much of that show we probably couldn’t make now,” Kaling added. “Tastes have changed, and honestly what offends people has changed so much now. I think that actually is one of the reasons the show is popular, because people feel like there’s something kind of fearless about it or taboo that it talks about on the show.”
Speaking about what her character Kelly Kapoor would be in a 2022 version, Kaling added, “I think she would have quit Dunder Mifflin to become an influencer, and then probably be canceled, almost immediately. Actually, most of the characters on that show would be canceled by now.”
Certainly Kaling was also thinking of Michael Scott. For seven glorious seasons, Steve Carell delighted and horrified audiences with his legendary portrayal of the goofy, oblivious, insensitive, and yet earnest boss. Through all the amazing roles Carell has had, everyone always comes back to Dunder Mifflin. Check out the most unforgettable and ridiculous quotes from the most cringeworthy boss to ever grace TV.
