The officeThe documentary crew is back with a new subject: a historic newspaper, but declining, called the TOLEDO TRUTH-TELLER on Paper. Now led by the new editor -in -chief, Ned Sampson, the documentary follows the professional life of employees of the newspaper while they try true journalism. While the casting is mainly made up of new faces in this world, notably Gbismisola Ikumelo and Alex Edelman (which also serve as writers), Oscar Nuñez takes up his favorite character of fans of The office in a main role.

The characters of Oscar, Adelola and Adam (played by Nuñez, Cooper and Ikemulo) do not know exactly what it takes to be revolutionary journalists, but their slides, their back and forth and their occasional victories are what maintains the cameras. Speaking to CBR, Nuñez clarifies if the humor of The office changed or remained the same more than a decade later PaperWith Ikumelo and Edelman speaking a lot to balance their roles as writers and actors in the series.

CBR: Although writing gives you all a benchmark for your characters, how they look at, what their personality looks like, how do you also have actors (and Alex and Gbbisola as writers) Do you find votes and comic manners of your characters?

Medical Tracker: I think the right thing is that, well, because [Alex and I] If writers were in the series, it was a path in our characters that I felt like I had a little before. Because I have to spend a little longer with Adelola, I spent a lot of time trying to get … Oh my God, I hate when I lose words. I will be there for 20 minutes.

Alex Edelman: Okay, how many words …

Inserted: No, you’re going to worsen things. Just the courage to find this character and defend her in the writer’s room and say: “Hey, that’s what I think for Adelola. Finally, I somehow wrote a Bible for her. Think that we were going for a kind of over-performance, and she ended up being the opposite and becoming a kind of burnout.

Edelman: I will just say that I have developed my character in part. I had the card of our office and I saw that the three of us were sitting directly next to each other, so I thought “What is the most boring person so that someone is sitting at a distance from elbow?” In a way, I wrote Adam as Golden Retriever, who is a bit like an clumsy dad with a bazillion of children who is too strong and who mainly treats the office as a play space. It was a really fun direction to take it. But it is a very good example of the way in which a person’s thought, received with enthusiasm, can illustrate other things. And so as not to venture too far in one side of the swimming pool which is not mine to venture, Oscar is a very obviously established character of the previous television show. This put him in a sort of mentor role to these children who are constantly bickering. This comedy mode was somehow new, unique and really fun.

Oscar, I’m just going to take a wild guess and say that you know this character quite well, but comedy is constantly evolving. How would you say that writing Paper adapt [the character] Oscar to this new comedy style in 2025?

Oscar Nuñez: I think the comedy is evolving, but I also think that funny is funny. We talked about it earlier, censorship and comedy and all of this, and people say: “You can’t say anything.” You can say what you want, just hold it and be able to defend it. If it’s funny, it’s funny. Bill Burr says things with whom other actors could not get away with it because he said them intelligently, and he keeps them next. It makes sense. It is also your intention when you say something. This is 95% of what you know. [Touches Alex on the shoulder] I can go, “hey, you’re good my friend. Hey, it’s okay. It’s good.” Or I could be, [Touches Alex on the knee] “Oh, that’s fine.”

Edelman: [Looks at camera with surprise] What’s going on right now?

Nuñez: I could say: “It’s good”, and it sounds luxury. If I feel lubric, then it’s not good for [Alex]. [In creepy voice] “Hey, it’s going to go, you can come in my dressing room, and we will discuss it.” It’s frightening. [In normal voice] Or I can go, “hey, my friend. It’s good. Come on, we will do the lines.” It depends on the intention. I understand the person’s intention.

Edelman: I think the comedy wrote … My God, I will give a serious answer after that?

Nuñez: It was serious.

Edelman: It was really good.

Inserted: Be honest.

Edelman: I think that the comedy that comes out of the character you see on the screen has a good chance of being at persistent leaves. A character like Michael Scott, [his] The desire to be loved is persistent leaves in a politically incorrect way, do you know?

Nuñez: That’s right.

Edelman: I think this first season is a lot of persistent leaf comedy that many people will appreciate a lot of people.

The paper will be presented on September 4 on Peacock.
