Kevin From The Office Just Shared An 'Easter Egg' About Dunder-Mifflin's Seating Plan, And It's Genius

Fans of The Office will likely remember the moment when Ryan (played by BJ Novak) was forced into a tiny, cupboard-like back office by Jim Halpert (John Krasinski). 

Even before then, Toby (Paul Lieberstein) and Kelly (Mindy Kaling) had spent most of their on-screen time in the annex, tucked away from the rest of the staff. 

In a recent interview, Brian Baumgartner (who played Kevin Malone) revealed that this wasn’t an accident ― there is actually a very sensible reason why the trio were placed in their own little corner.
