‘I Got Really Mad.’ The Office’s Kevin Actor On The Wild Joke He Made That Was Initially Cut

While talking with Entertainment Weekly, Baumgartner recalled how a joke he made during the filming of one of the episodes was initially left on the cutting room floor, and not surprisingly, he was not happy with the end result: Luckily, since airing, the joke has found its way to streaming and can be watched with a Peacock subscription in the Season 5 episode, “Baby Shower.” But thinking that initially, no one would see the joke, I can see why he’d be mad over it. Baumgartner went on to explain that the joke on one of the best NBC sitcoms comes from the look on Melora Hardin’s face, “thinking that possibly the donated sperm came from Kevin, and what that would mean for Michael.” It’s a pretty genius joke, and it seems to be self-explanatory when you don’t really overthink it.
