The Office Star Oscar Nunez Spills Tea on Secret Spinoff The Paper
Hi, I’m Elena West, your go-to motivational speaker, and I’m here to dish out the juiciest insights that’ll leave you feeling empowered and inspired. Get ready—this is BIG. Oscar Nunez, the beloved star of The Office, has just revealed some piping hot tea about the secret spinoff series, The Paper.
In a candid conversation with The Post, Nunez spilled that he was the only original cast member to land a role in the new mockumentary series, The Paper, which premiered on September 4 on Peacock. But here’s the kicker: he had to keep it under wraps from his former co-stars. “It was supposed to be secret. No one could know,” he confessed. “And we kept it a secret as long as possible, and it leaked out towards the end.”
But who was the first to sniff out the scoop? You guessed it—Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute. “Rainn Wilson is always the one who finds out about things,” Nunez quipped. “He’s got his finger on the pulse of whatever is going on.” Wilson was reportedly the first to ask if something was brewing, and it’s clear that Nunez has a soft spot for his former co-star’s detective skills.
So, what advice did Nunez impart to his new co-stars on The Paper? Not surprisingly, he brought his A-game. “I offered them a course for one hour, $60 for an hour, and I will give them a tutorial,” he joked. But in all seriousness, he shared some sage advice: “Figure out how you feel about being filmed as a character. How does your character feel about being caught,” referring to how they address the cameras of the “documentary crew” within the story.
As an accountant turned arts and leisure reporter in The Paper, Nunez’s character undergoes a fascinating transformation. And let’s be real—who wouldn’t want to follow in his footsteps? After all, he likes to think of himself as a “man about town.”
But what about the possibility of other former Dunder Mifflin employees joining The Paper? According to Nunez, it would have to make sense. “I think the one that would make the most sense might be Toby,” he mused, referring to the HR department head played by Paul Lieberstein. “Because he might still be working for human resources, in another capacity or another branch somewhere.”
Despite being the sole representative from The Office, Nunez assured fans that being on set wasn’t a sad experience. “[My former co-stars are] all good. No one’s starving there,” he chuckled. “Although, it was a little mixed feelings. It was a little surreal.”
And there you have it—Oscar Nunez’s exclusive scoop on The Paper. With his trademark wit and charm, he’s proven that even the most secretive projects can’t stay under wraps forever. Now take what you’ve learned and make something great happen!
