This week, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire featured a Dunder Mifflin reunion that resulted in $1 million for a couple of good causes.
The Office alums Kate Flannery and Oscar Nuñez reunited on Thursday’s season finale of the ABC game show, winning the big prize to be split between their charities Planned Parenthood and Philabundance, a Philadelphia-based food bank.
The pair, who played Meredith and Oscar on the NBC sitcom for its nine-season run from 2005-2013 made it to the end with some help from another co-star, using their “Phone-a-Friend” on Kevin actor Brian Baumgartner.

Nuñez’s reunion with Flannery comes as he reprises his role on Peacock‘s The Office spinoff The Paper, which was renewed for Season 2 earlier this month before its premiere on the streamer, having also lined up an NBC broadcast run starting November 10.
Meanwhile, Millionaire host Jimmy Kimmel‘s finale appearance comes after his talk show’s return from a brief suspension resulted in a major viewership boost for ABC. Jimmy Kimmel Live! returned to air after the network announced the show was “preempted indefinitely,” which many criticized as an attack on free speech, following the FCC’s warning about the Kimmel’s Charlie Kirk comments.
