• Brian Baumgartner: Behind-the-Scenes of The Office’s Classic Chili Spill Episode | Rich Eisen Show

  but the the scene with spilling the beans all over the the floor. Did you how many takes did that take? Did you did you That was one take. That was a one because you knew that was one take. Well, there was a lot there was a lot of pressure that day and it was there was a lot of whispering cuz I was there by myself. There was nobody else. They the rest of the cast, they were all gone. And I remember um I remember Phil Sheay who uh worked in props and and the set decorators kind of coming over to me like back channeling and they were like, "Um, Brian, we have we have three carpets." And I was like, "What are you what are you talking about? We have three carpets." And they had assembled I mean in in this studio like carpets that would be bigger than this that went from the front door around like the reception desk over to where uh Dwight and Jim's desk was to Michael's office because they didn't know exactly how I would spill it and like me spilling on the real carpet would be a an unmitigated disaster. So they had that. So what you're seeing there, that's all carpet on top of carpet. Yeah. And they had three and they were very concerned that if they got if they if we didn't get it in three takes that we we would be screwed. And I think there were people who didn't know there were only three. And so they came and obviously it was just about the the spill. Thankfully that worked out. And I think as you can see there, I think we had extra clothes. Oh, you can look at my hands. That was the thing I remember for days. My hands were an orangey for days color. You couldn't wash it off? No. I mean, I remember they had a, you know, sometimes they had a playback thing set up so they could see what they had. And I remember as like wardrobe is peeling the clothes off me. And I'm looking and I'm like, "Please say we got it. Please say we got it. Please say we got it." And they were like, "Okay, we got it." And then like I've never showered with more people. I They're just as they're peeling stuff off and trying to get Damn. Yeah. And I had a dinner actually with Oscar Nunees and Angela Kinsey that we had pre-arranged because of course they had a short day that day at Mastros in Beverly Hills.
