The Office<\/em><\/a> stars Oscar Nu\u00f1ez<\/a> and Kate Flannery<\/a> couldn\u2019t believe what was happening on Thursday\u2019s (September 25) season finale of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire<\/em><\/a> as they walked away with the top $1 million prize for charity.<\/p>\n Nu\u00f1ez and Flannery went on quite a journey to the $1 million question, including a tricky $500,000 question that required them to use their Phone-A-Friend lifeline, calling up fellow Office<\/em> alum, Brian Baumgartner<\/a>, who played Kevin Malone on the hit sitcom.<\/p>\n The final question read: \u201cThe word \u2018planet\u2019 comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?\u201d The four options were powerful, immortal, stranger or wanderer.<\/p>\n Emmy-winning host Jimmy Kimmel<\/a> asked the pair if they wanted to play on or take the $500,000. Flannery seemed relatively confident the answer was \u201cwanderer,\u201d but Nu\u00f1ez was flipping out. \u201cI hate this game,\u201d he joked as he lay face down on the studio floor.<\/p>\n \u201cJimmy Kimmel, D: Wanderer, final answer,\u201d Flannery said as the studio audience applauded the bravery.<\/p>\n Of course, Kimmel dragged out the tension, talking up how each option sounded plausible. \u201cIt was a long journey to get here, so much wandering,\u201d he quipped. \u201cI could make a case for every one of these choices.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe choice you made, by putting yourself in the body of an Ancient Greek, perhaps even Galileo himself\u2026 to choose the correct answer\u2026 amazing,\u201d the late-night host said as the audience erupted in cheers.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat is happening?!\u201d Flannery screamed as confetti rained down. \u201cWhat the hell, you guys? Oh my god.\u201d<\/p>\n The pair will donate their winnings to Planned Parenthood and Philabundance, a food bank in the Philadelphia area.<\/p>\n Nu\u00f1ez and Flannery starred in all nine seasons of The Office<\/em>, which ran on NBC from 2005 to 2013. Earlier this month, Nu\u00f1ez reprised his role as Oscar Martinez on The Office<\/em> spinoff The Paper<\/em><\/a>, which streamed on Peacock and will make its broadcast debut on NBC on November 10.<\/p>\n The Paper<\/em> sees the documentary crew from The Office<\/em> following a new set of characters at a struggling newspaper, The Truth Teller, based in Toledo, Ohio. Nu\u00f1ez is the only actor from The Office<\/em> to appear in the spinoff, with his character working as the newspaper\u2019s head accountant.<\/p>\n You can watch Nu\u00f1ez and Flannery\u2019s winning moment in the video above and let us know your thoughts below.<\/p>\n
