TV Guide interviews Oscar Nunez

TVGuide.com talks to Oscar Nunez about The Office and his Comedy Central show, Halfway Home:

TVGuide.com: Was it difficult to keep a straight face while shooting the Michael-Oscar kiss in this season’s opener?

Nuñez: You know, that’s not one of my weaknesses. I’m pretty good at keeping a straight face. Steve [Carell] has made me break a handful of times during the season, but that wasn’t one of them.

Talking to Oscar Nunez

NorthJersey.com talks to Oscar Nunez about The Office and his Comedy Central show, Halfway Home:

Is it difficult to keep a straight face when you’re working with Steve [Carell]?

No, I’m actually pretty good at keeping a straight face. A lot of the people in “The Office” break up. [John] Krasinski is notorious. He just laughs at anything that Steve does, and then Angela [Kinsey] follows suit. Him and Angela are little giggle partners.
