Actor Brian Baumgartner, who plays Kevin Malone, told BGR in 2020 that while filming the early episode “Diversity Day,” he recognized the show was attempting something distinctive. As BGR reproduced his recollection: “I will say, from the second episode we shot, Diversity Day, I remember specifically being very aware that what the show was doing was special and unique … I specifically remember as we were shooting day after day, almost exclusively in the conference room, that if people gave the show a shot, we had the chance to be doing something special. You know, that episode (Diversity Day) focused on race. And what we were doing, what we were talking about, and the way we were talking about real issues, hopefully in a funny way, was something that really hadn’t been done since All In The Family.”
