Nu\u00f1ez played for Planned Parenthood, while Flannery supported Philabundance, a food bank serving Philadelphia\u2014the city where The Office\u2019s fictional Dunder Mifflin was based.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The win didn\u2019t come without tension. As the million-dollar question appeared, Nu\u00f1ez was so overwhelmed that he stretched out on the studio floor in disbelief. Flannery blurted out, \u201cI hate this game!\u201d while trying to steady her nerves. After answering, one clutched their hair while the other covered their mouth in anticipation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The final question challenged the pair to identify what the ancient Greek word for \u201cplanet\u201d literally meant. Given the options\u2014\u201cpowerful,\u201d \u201cimmortal,\u201d \u201cstranger,\u201d and \u201cwanderer\u201d\u2014Flannery suggested \u201cwanderer.\u201d With hesitant agreement from Nu\u00f1ez, they locked in the answer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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. \u201cWhat is happening? Oh my god!\u201d Flannery exclaimed while pacing the stage. Moments later, they accepted an oversized check, visibly emotional about winning for a good charitable cause together.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/pop-culture\/news\/2033843-the-office-oscar-meredith-who-wants-to-be-a-millionaire-winner\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The Office Stars Win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for Charity;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The Office Stars Win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire for Charity<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:ComingSoon.net - Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">ComingSoon.net &#8211; Movie Trailers, TV &amp; Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>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.
