Jim Halpert's proposal to Pam Beesly on "The Office" was one of the most anticipated moments of the entire series. So fans were completely caught off guard when the romantic moment seemed to come out of nowhere in an almost anti-climactic way. But it was always designed to be like that.
The proposal came in the fifth season premiere, "Weight Loss," after Andy stole Jim's intended grand gesture, by proposing to Angela during Toby's going away party in the fourth season finale, "Goodbye, Toby." At the time, Pam was living in New York, attending art school. According to author Andy Greene in the book "The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s," series creator Greg Daniels was the one that pushed for the proposal to unfold at the midway point between Scranton and New York City.

"The Office" ended nearly a decade ago, but Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly still remain one of the most-loved couples in modern sitcom history. John Krasinski's Jim and Jenna Fischer's Pam are so synonymous with TV comedy love that when other people reference them, it's almost always on a first-name basis, no show title needed. We all know Jim and Pam.
Before they were a beloved endgame ship, though, the pair were just a couple of lovebirds trying to figure it out. When they finally did in the season 5 premiere, it was in a simple, beautiful moment. When Pam spends months away from Scranton at a graphic design class, Jim decides to make a spontaneous trip to see her. They meet at a rest stop along the freeway in the middle of a rainstorm, where with little preamble, Jim gets on one knee to ask her to marry him.

Steve Carell’s exit from “The Office” after seven seasons was a game-changing moment for the beloved NBC comedy series, but Andy Greene’s new book “The Office: The Untold Story of the Greatest Sitcom of the 2000s” reveals it was never Carell’s intention to leave the sitcom (via Collider). Numerous crew members spoke to Greene about Carell’s exit and said it was a battle between the actor and NBC executives that forced the comedian off the series. Sound mixer Brian Wittle and hairstylist Kim Ferry said Carell let it slip during a radio interview that he might leave after Season 7; Carell had not made a definite decision at the time, but he was pushed to exit after his comments made news and he was never contacted by NBC executives to stay.
“He didn’t want to leave the show,” Ferry said. “He had told the network that...
