Got ‘Delivery’ questions for Danny and Charlie?
Friday, March 5th, 2010 | 112 comments



I love doing these Q&As so much. I’m a complete geek for behind-the-scenes details.
‘The Delivery’ writers Danny Chun and Charlie Grandy have graciously agreed to feed the addiction this time around.
Because for such a big milestone episode like this one, I figured y’all might have a few things you want to ask about. :)
Post your questions here about ‘The Delivery’ by 11pm PT today, March 5th. Thanks!


Is Stanley still married to Terri? He’s wearing his wedding ring in this episode, and Michael said he has two lovers.
Where was the rest of Pam and Jim’s family? I would have expected more than Pam’s mom, Michael and her best friend to be there. Would have loved to see Jim parents and his crazy brothers too. Also Pam’s dad and new girlfriend would have made for more awkward moments with her mom. Was there any reason they weren’t in this episode?
Is there going to be another love triangle between Dwight and Angela?
What exactly was Pam’s birth song?
Helene looked fantastic in the scene where Michael runs into her in Pam’s room, and it almost seemed like she was showing Michael what he was missing. Was that intentional?
I’m definitely no expert, but the “feel” of each shot (cinematography?) seemed different somehow in this episode, especially around the driving to the hospital sequence. What inspired the change?
Why is the I.T. worker (first seen a few episodes ago) the same guy who talked to Pam at the Job fair about the graphic design company? Any hidden reason for this?
How did the idea to bring in Jenna’s Fiance, Lee Kirk, come about? and did they bring him in specifically to be the lactation consultant or did they simply want him to have a guest appearance?
How was it decided which of Jim and Pam’s co-workers would come to the hospital to support them?
Did Jim and Pam really conceive at Burning Man and if so, how did Pam survive such a long gestation (last Burning Man was in September of ’08)? ;) Love you, guys!
How come Jim and Pam didn’t find it awkward that the camera crew was in the room with Pam when she was being instructed on how to breastfeed? Actually, it didn’t seem like they acknowledge the camera crew at all…
Loved the episode. Part of what’s priceless about a new baby is the reactions from everyone else. Were there any tricks used (like witholding the gender or name) before taping to elicit the reactions that you got from the cast?
I heard the baby was going to be a boy and then you changed it at the last minute, I was wondering if baby boy Halpert had a name before he became a she?
Did Dwight throw any other items out of his car that we didn’t see?
What other office talents did the cast use to distract Pam that we didn’t see?
Great episode, it was absolutely fantastic :)
one question…
What is going on with the Dwight/Angela and now Isabelle situation?
Wow, just wow. Awesome episode, can’t say much more right now, but really, awesome work with this one.
John and Jenna were brilliant in this one as well.
My question to you is; How did John and Jenna react to being in character and acting all crazy, shouting, screaming and running around? I can imagine it was fun and all that, but how did they really react while reading the script? Was there anything they wanted to put in or remove?
Hugs from Sweden.
Was it in the script for Michael to throw Jim&Pam’s car keys after he parked in the ambulance zone, or did Steve improvise that. How long did it take to find the keys after he threw them?
Was there any footage of the 19 hours of labor that wasn’t shot (i.e. Jim fainting?) It seemed like it jumped really quickly from Pam and Jim arriving at the hospital to the baby being born the next day.
So how long will Pam’s maternity leave be? Will Jim get any paternity leave?
