"The Office" Wants Me


Why else would it name the new (albeit extremely temporary) receptionist in the pilot after me? An obvious shout-out, right? No? I'm reaching?

It's an understandable reach. Before this fall, the only Rahni/Ronnie/Ronny/Roni references I had to lean on were unimpressive at best, mortifying at worst.

Consider:

~Bobby Brown song . . . Roni, "The truth about Roni, she’s a sweet little girl . . ."
~Eddie Money song . . . Take Me Home Tonight, "Its just like Ronnie sang 'Be my little baby' . . ."
~a President who--while handsome in his youth--no GIRL wants to resemble
~obnoxious man on the cell phone commercial ("If Ronnie's phone could receive messages right now, he'd know not to . . ."
