The Office stars Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer have revealed the season 6 scene that had the entire cast laughing. Based on the British series of the same name created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, The Office debuted in 2005 and ran until season 9.

Michael allows Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner) to sit on his lap to gain favor, as Phyllis would not do so due to his large size. When Kevin sits on Michael's lap, Michael immediately regrets it, doing his best to rush through the conversation while Kevin takes his time to think of something to ask Santa.
