The third episode of The Office Season 9, titled “Andy’s Ancestry,” featured one of the best cold opens in the show’s history.
As Steve, Randall Park pretended to be John Krasinski’s Jim by listening to some voicemails, telling Dwight about sales he’d made, and even going as far as changing Jim’s family picture so it resembled more of an “Asian Jim,” which freaked Dwight out.
The role was small and only factored into the cold open, but even at less than two minutes, it’s still memorable to this day.
With Jim out that morning for a dentist appointment, he and Pam called in their actor friend Steve to play a prank on Dwight.
