‘Office Babies’ spin-off

The Office’s Ricky Gervais talks to Vanity Fair about his concept for a spin-off tentatively called ‘Office Babies’:

I’m filming it now … What we did is, we pretended to do a promotional thing where parents can come and meet famous people from The Office. So they leave their babies with us, and while they’re distracted getting autographs, we shoot the entire series. It’s just babies crawling over copiers and stuff, and then we overdub the footage. There are no actor fees. At least not until the second season, when it becomes a hit. Then they’ll be asking for a pay raise, you can be sure. But that’s when we’ll write them out.

   And it’s dry humour for the win. English spelling included.

   That’s hilarious – sounds more like something from The Onion than Vanity Fair.

   @receptionitis66, you can tell when Ricky Gervais is joking because his mouth is moving.

    If Office Babies is anything like the e-trade babies, then Ricky Gervais has a sure fire hit on his hands.
