Trivia / The Office USS 2 E 19 Michaels Birthday

• The Cast Showoff: Michael gets to show off his skating skills. And, Genius Ditz that he is, he's amazing. True in Real Life too—Steve Carell is an accomplished skater and hockey player (he even played college hockey), so the episode was written specifically to allow him to show off his skills (Michael's Threat Level Midnight movie is set at an ice rink for the same reason).
