An excerpt from Andy Greene’s new book ‘The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s’ delves into one of the show’s key behind-the-scenes debates
by Andy Greene, to be published March 24th by Dutton, an imprint of the Penguin Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House, LLC. Copyright © 2020 by Andy Greene.I pitched the idea of, “What if Queen Latifah becomes the manager?” Slowly, one by one, she starts firing all the employees. And you just bring in all these black comedians. It becomes a black office, and you’d just go from there. But, you know, that didn’t get that much traction. It would have been fun though.
I remember a lot of discussion about what we should do. I did not think it should be Andy. I loved the character of Andy. I loved Ed. I don’t think I could see yet what Andy would bring to the table that felt distinct with him being the boss. He’s such a people pleaser, but Michael is a people pleaser. I think people would have been more excited to see Dwight as the boss because he’d been wanting it for so long. It just seemed like it suggested more stories to me.

He’s like this weird amalgam of Mennonite and nerd.
