Summary

Jay sits down with Brian Baumgartner, famous for his role as Kevin on "The Office"... and jokes with Jay right away that his desire to be a professional baseball player was cut short after an ugly injury. So that landed Brian in theater and acting, and talks about his parents supporting him despite a rocky start in New York. And of course Brian talks about his start on The Office, and reveals to Jay that the show was absolutely going to be cancelled after the first six episodes due to poor ratings... but somehow it survived and grew into a 207 episode icon of modern television. Jay also wants to know about the possibility of an Office reunion in the future, and Brian says he thinks it's more about the situation for the characters and less about making a buck. And of course Jay and Brian joke about Kevin's famous chili, one of his most iconic moments from the show's run.
