Ivan asks… Which is better: The Office or It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia?
“This is an impossible question. I love both, but I’ll say The Office. It’s like the pinnacle of perfect television. I love It’s Always Sunny… but The Office is in just a whole other realm. It's up there with Seinfeld. It's perfect television.
“Being from Scranton, I remember when they were announcing the show on the local news and everything, and I think everybody immediately thought that the show was going to be: ‘Let’s make fun of Scranton.’ Everybody knocks on it for being a small old coal town, and a bit backwards, but it kind of showed Scranton pride through all the characters. I think that's why the town really latched on to the show. If it was just making fun of it, it wouldn't have worked. And I think they really did showcase the types of people that live in Scranton, and a way of life that feels so relatable from the way we grew up. I know that they reached out to a lot of local businesses and got props, like the Froggy 101 sticker, which is the local country radio station. Crystal soda is the local Scranton soda company, and in the break room they have that. They did their research, which is pretty cool.”
