Holohan Joins Cast of The Office


Meghan A. Holohan, 30, of New York, N.Y., replied to an open casting call for her favorite show in September. For weeks prior to her one moment in time, she researched the history of paper, and practiced her filing, stapling, printing and recycling skills. Michael watched her perform and said, "Hire the tall chick with the nice set of ... earrings."

Check out these stills of Meg in unforgettable episode where she challenged Jim to a Make Me Laugh contest and won. Then she hustled Dwight in a game of hoops in the warehouse, and sat him back down again when she was, hands down, the best speaker at the televised morning meeting. "I brought down the house, ala Barak Obama," she said.

Unfortunately the episode did not air due to the Writer's Strike.

Upon her return from Hollywood, Meg read a spec script of The Office written by her big sis, Maureen Holohan and Wali Collins (no relation). The writers sweat it during in their performance review session until Meg gave their script the highest rating of "outstanding" and added, "It was so hilarious that I had to get up and act it out in the living room." Mo and Wali are busy writing their own sitcom, and Meg is planning on auditioning for a hot role we cannot share with you now or we'll give away the premise of the award-winning television series.

Just last night, swept up in the memories of her glory days on the set, Meg stopped on a street corner and said, "Oh, I just gave a great Jim reaction, but I've lost it. Damn it."

Here are Meg and Jim, demonstrating the lost art of flirting at The Office.

This blog has tricked a handful of folks who have sent me emails congratulating my sister for making the Office and asking when the episode is running. Her friends at work think it is corny. I say they are no fun.
