Watch Santigold On The Office
Next week is the series finale of NBC’s long running remake of Ricky Gervais’s UK classic The Office, and last night the showrunners finally addressed a serious weakness of the show during its full nine-year run: Not enough Santigold. Finally! Just kidding how beautifully random. Although, Santi’s appearance does come with some internal logic: Ed Helms’s character (Andy) is auditioning for an American Idol-styled singing contest (because of course he is), and hence Santi’s been cast as a Nicki Minaj-type judge (alongside past Idol champion Clay Aiken and past Super Bowl champion/present Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers). The clip is here at around 26:30, and since this may be the first time in awhile you’re watching the show, I’m easing the blow of Steve Carrell’s absence by posting a screengrab wherein Aaron Rodgers looks just like him. Watch here:
The Office’s series finale is next Thursday 5/16, and will run 75 minutes. Word is Carrell will make a cameo, while Mindy Kaling and BJ Novak are confirmed to return. In honor of this event, please enjoy John Krasinski lip syncing with Fallon to Katy Perry the other night:
