The cast's longing for one more "that's what she said" was satisfied while filming The Office's last episode. Leading up the series finale, showrunner Greg Daniels had secretly reached out to Carell asking if there were any circumstances under which he'd reprise his role as Michael Scott. His answer? Dwight and Angela's wedding. Knowing this, Daniels chose to make Michael's return a surprise for the other stars.
"They kept it secret. They did not want it out. It wasn't in the script we read," Kinsey told me, adding that they didn't find out until the morning they began filming scenes for Dwight and Angela's wedding. She still remembers that rush of excitement she felt upon hearing a crew member say, "Steve's in hair and makeup."
