thx for the post. had no idea.

Can we talk abt the office w/o spoilers?

Bc I have thoughts about where I want his character to go...

ALSO!

Steve Carrell, John Krasinski, wya??? Ricky Gervais??

they dont even need to put up their own mooney. They have the clout to get this pilot funded by a network..

a Stanley spinoff?! where he goes to LA to *do things*?! have they ever met Stanley, there’s no way he’s leaving florida lmao

[therearewords]

Would he even be allowed to use the character?

Maybe he’s allowed to play a character named Stan but can’t specifically say he’s the same guy from The Office.

I don’t think nbc would look good if they pulled the plug, but I’m guessing Baker probably met with lawyers beforehand on what was allowed.

That’s great, I hope the show gets picked up.

And I wonder if any of his more famous co-stars donated or offered support. I doubt it. I bet Steve or John, even Ed Helms could open some doors for him.

They reached their goal but the campaign still has ten days left before it closes.
