The Office writer says SNL parody sketch rankled him: ‘All actors are white people’

The Office writer Michael Schur has said the 2008 Saturday Night Live parody of the series, The Japanese Office, ended up leaving him “a little bit rankled”.

Schur said he thought it was “a very big deal” when any stars from The Office hosted SNL.

When Steve Carell did The Japanese Office, Schur said when asked if the short belonged in the best list, “I remember being a little bit rankled”.
