'The Office' stars reunite on 'Celebrity Wheel of Fortune' (exclusive)

Published 1 day ago3 minute read

Once a Dunder Mifflin employee, always a Dunder Mifflin employee.

The Office stars Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, and Oscar Nuñez — who played Dwight Schrute, Erin Hannon, and Oscar Martinez, respectively — are teaming up again to compete on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and can't help themselves when it comes to quoting the iconic sitcom.

In a clip of the moment, which Entertainment Weekly is debuting exclusively, above, ahead of tonight's episode, host Pat Sajak talks with Nuñez about a different role he's known for — Ramon, the caterer-stripper-soda jerk-ordained minister in the 2009 rom-com, The Proposal.

"From the time you walked in until now, I had three women independently come up to me and say, 'Oscar's here. The Proposal, he was great in The Proposal.' That was a terrific movie, and that was a great part," Sajak tells him.

"When I read the script, I was like, I want to do that part because the guy keeps coming back," Nuñez replies, before Wilson interrupts to ask his former costar to show them some of his stripper dance moves from the film.

Much to Kemper's delight, Nuñez obliges, recreating his iconic scene in the movie, which also starred Ryan Reynolds, Sandra Bullock, and Betty White.

"Still got it," Wilson and Kemper encourage him.

Sajak then astutely notes that "it's not the same without the thong" Nuñez wore in the film, prompting Wilson to embody Dwight once more and say, "That's what she said."

Clearly picking up on the reference, Kemper points to Wilson and says, "Okay," as Sajak jokes, "I knew we'd do one of those before too long."

The cast of The Office reunited to spin and win for charity with Wilson playing for Lidè Haiti, Kemper for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, and Nuñez for Oceana. A spin on the iconic game show, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune welcomes celebrity contestants to come spin the world's most famous wheel and solve word puzzles for a chance to win up to one million dollars for a charity of their choice.

New episodes of the game show, hosted by Sajak alongside Vanna White, air Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC, with episodes available the next day on Hulu.
