Summary

This week on Office Ladies 6.0, we take a look back on Jenna and Angela's interview with Mike Schur! Mike Schur wrote on the first four seasons of “The Office” and played Dwight’s mysterious cousin, Mose Schrute. Mike also worked on “Saturday Night Live” and created shows like “Parks and Recreation”, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”, “The Good Place” and “Rutherford Falls”. Mike shares about a scene where Angela slapped him so hard he spun, Jenna and Mike talk about the difference between acting on a TV show vs a movie, and of course, Mike talks about how much he hated playing Mose. So take a trip down memory lane and enjoy the moments of a stringy beard man who works on America’s favorite beet farm.
