Fans of The Office had a nostalgic treat during the season finale of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when two iconic cast members walked away with the grand prize. Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery, best known for playing Oscar and Meredith on the hit sitcom, claimed the $1 million jackpot and donated it to causes close to their hearts.
Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery win $1 million on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire finale
On the finale, the Office duo secured the top prize for their chosen charities. Nuñez played for Planned Parenthood, while Flannery supported Philabundance, a food bank serving Philadelphia—the city where The Office’s fictional Dunder Mifflin was based.
The win didn’t come without tension. As the million-dollar question appeared, Nuñez was so overwhelmed that he stretched out on the studio floor in disbelief. Flannery blurted out, “I hate this game!” while trying to steady her nerves. After answering, one clutched their hair while the other covered their mouth in anticipation.
The final question challenged the pair to identify what the ancient Greek word for “planet” literally meant. Given the options—“powerful,” “immortal,” “stranger,” and “wanderer”—Flannery suggested “wanderer.” With hesitant agreement from Nuñez, they locked in the answer.
At first, host Jimmy Kimmel took a comedic pause before confirming they were correct. The studio erupted. Confetti rained down, and both actors looked stunned. “What is happening? Oh my god!” Flannery exclaimed while pacing the stage. Moments later, they accepted an oversized check, visibly emotional about winning for a good charitable cause together.
The win carried even more sentimental weight for fans because another familiar face from The Office joined in. Brian Baumgartner, who played Kevin Malone, served as their Phone-a-Friend lifeline, reuniting the quirky trio from Scranton in a new million-dollar winning setting.
