Kevin's Cut Joke Returns in The Office Streaming

0:00It's March 18th, and here's what's happening across entertainment and pop culture. Brian Baumgartner, who played Kevin on the office, fought hard to bring back one of his favorite cut jokes. He appeared in every single episode across nine seasons, and this bit from Season 5's Baby Shower episode got edited out originally, but is now in the streaming version. The joke happens during the chaos of preparing for John's Baby Shower. Her baby came from a sperm donor while she was with Michael, and the scene plays on the hilarious idea that Kevin might have been the donor. Baumgartner got upset with the editors at first. He insisted it was a perfect punchline that did not need more explanation, just the funny reaction on Melora Hardin's face as John. After pushing back, the team agreed, and the moment returned for streaming viewers. Fans who only watched the original broadcast, missed it back in 2008. That episode stands out in Season 5 for kicking off key storylines around Michael, John, and their baby.
