What happens when you put three Office alums in front of the world’s most famous wheel? You get word puzzles, stripper dance moves, and a perfectly timed “That’s what she said.” Rainn Wilson, Ellie Kemper, and Oscar Nuñez reunited on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune for a hilarious episode filled with nostalgia, charity, and signature Office antics—and Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive first look.
From scranton to the spin
Rainn Wilson (Dwight Schrute), Ellie Kemper (Erin Hannon), and Oscar Nuñez (Oscar Martinez) brought their infectious chemistry from The Office to the set of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, and it didn’t take long before the sitcom’s spirit took over. Appearing on the game show to raise money for causes close to their hearts, the trio slipped right back into rhythm—this time, with Pat Sajak and Vanna White in the mix.
ELLIE KEMPER
Nuñez, known for his deadpan delivery and comedic timing, got a moment in the spotlight when Sajak brought up his scene-stealing role in the 2009 rom-com The Proposal. “Oscar’s here. The Proposal, he was great in The Proposal,” Sajak said, quoting multiple women on set who fondly remembered his performance as the unforgettable Ramon. “That was a terrific movie, and that was a great part,” Sajak added.
Cue the dance moves and the callback
When Rainn Wilson prompted his co-star to show off a little of his infamous stripper dance from the film, Nuñez obliged without hesitation. Ellie Kemper’s delighted laugh said it all, while the studio audience cheered. “Still got it,” Wilson and Kemper quipped, as Nuñez channeled his inner Ramon for the live crowd.
Then came the moment every Office fan was waiting for. Sajak, ever the straight man, commented, “It’s not the same without the thong,” referencing Nuñez’s original costume in The Proposal. Without missing a beat, Wilson leaned in, channeling his inner Dwight Schrute, and delivered the legendary line: “That’s what she said.”
Kemper, immediately catching the reference, pointed with mock surprise and laughed, “Okay.” Even Sajak couldn’t resist, saying, “I knew we’d do one of those before too long.” Some habits are just too iconic to forget.
Spinning for a cause
While the laughs were nonstop, the stakes were sincere. Each star competed to win big for a chosen charity. Wilson played for Lidè Haiti, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering adolescent girls through the arts and education. Kemper spun for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, while Nuñez raised money for Oceana, a global organization focused on ocean conservation.
The game show’s celebrity edition not only lets fans see their favorite stars out of character, but also brings attention—and funding—to some of the world’s most meaningful causes. In this case, the Dunder Mifflin crew proved they still deliver, whether in the office or under the spotlight.
Wheel, fortune and familiar faces
Airing Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC and streaming the next day on Hulu, Celebrity Wheel of Fortune has become a surprisingly heartfelt reunion venue for some of TV’s most beloved casts. But few ensembles match the off-screen chemistry of The Office alumni, whose spontaneous banter and shared history add another layer of joy to the game.
From Ellie Kemper’s infectious laughter to Wilson’s dry wit and Nuñez’s show-stopping moves, this episode reminds fans why the Office family endures—and why even a decade later, the right cast in the right room still feels like coming home. If you ever needed proof that Dunder Mifflin is forever, just give that wheel a spin.
