Trivia / The Office USS 4 E 9 Dinner Party

• Creator's Favorite Episode: For the cast and crew, this episode stands out as the most difficult to shoot. Not because of any hostility or production issues, but because no one could keep a straight face and kept cracking up.
• Hide Your Pregnancy: This was the first episode to be filmed after the 2007 WGA Strike and Angela Kinsey had gotten pregnant during that time. It was too late to write into the show as the creative staff had intended, forcing this trope for the rest of the season.
• What Could Have Been: Had the WGA strike not happened, the episode would have aired in November 2007.
• Working Title: "Who's Afraid of Jan Levinson?"
