On August 27, 2025, the cast of the new show "The Paper" received an unexpected surprise on the first day of shooting. As the actors, including Sabrina Impacciatore, Domhnall Gleeson, and Chelsea Frei, were getting ready in the makeup trailer, they were shocked to hear a knock on the door. To their amazement, "The Office" alums Steve Carell and John Krasinski had decided to stop by and check on the new production.
It turns out the two actors were shooting a commercial for Lavazza coffee right next door and decided to pop in and offer their encouragement to the "The Paper" cast. Impacciatore, who plays Esmerelda Grand in the new show, was particularly thrilled by the visit, as she had become a huge fan of Carell's after binge-watching "The Office" following her casting. In fact, she had even booked a flight to New York City to see Carell perform in "Uncle Vanya" on Broadway, where he gave her his blessing and encouragement for her new role.
The unexpected reunion between the "The Office" stars and the "The Paper" cast is being seen as a positive omen for the new show, which is set to premiere with all 10 episodes on September 4, 2025. The cast is excited to have the support of Carell and Krasinski as they embark on this new project.
