When NBC's adaptation of The Office first debuted in 2005, the series was panned for being a pale and uninspired imitation of its English predecessor. It took an entire season for showrunner Greg Daniels to figure out how to infuse his take on The Office with a quirky, satirical energy calibrated to appeal to American audiences. But once he did, the comedy became a ratings juggernaut for the network, which put Daniels in a position to tackle slightly more original projects.
Angela Kinsey kept a side gig during the first two seasons of 'The Office' to prepare for uncertainty in show business, emphasizing the need to strategize for future opportunities.
The 2005 MTV Video Music Awards was hosted by Diddy. Any event with Diddy is already in bad taste now, but to make matters worst, the promotion for the ceremony also featured celebrities like Nicole Ritchie and Derek Jeter providing testimonials over how legendary Diddy's parties were. It could be worse: A few years before, at the 2003 VMAs, Diddy invited a 13-year-old to his afterparty. With recent allegations, it's all incredibly uncomfortable to watch.
