Fans of The Office know him as "Ryan," "the temp," or "the mildly smarmy one." Bigger fans know he was one of the show's writers and executive producers, and is to thank for a number of classic episodes (see: a bizarre-o trip to Dwight's beet farm, and a wholly inappropriate surveying of Dunder Mifflin's sexual harassment policies).


Now, he's publishing a book of short stories, one of which was published in The New Yorker last fall. If its trailer is any indicator, the book is bound to be full of wit, and fully endorsed by the late Satre. Watch it above!
