The Office’s Oscar Nunez Doesn’t Hesitate To Name His Favorite Episode – Looper

To kick off Season 3, fans of “The Office” received “Gay Witch Hunt,” which saw Michael Scott out Oscar Martinez as gay, prompting his co-workers to react in various ways throughout the episode. Suffice to say, things go off the rails, to a degree that leads to Oscar trying to quit. This causes an awkward argument with Michael that ends with him and Dwight attempting to kiss Oscar. Oscar later reveals that Jan Levinson (Melora Hardin) gave him an extended paid vacation and the company car over the ordeal. According to Oscar Nunez, in an interview with FandomWire, this story allowed him to take time away from “The Office” to film the Comedy Central series “Halfway Home.”

Aside from it giving him plenty of time in the “Office” spotlight, Nunez has chosen “Gay Witch Hunt” as his favorite episode since it afforded him the chance to explore other entertainment avenues. In addition, he loves the scene where Michael attempts to kiss Oscar — a moment Nunez told IGN he didn’t see coming. “I was thinking, ‘I can’t believe he did it.’ And then I was thinking, right after that, ‘Of course he did it,'” he recalled as they filmed the moment. Nunez adds that the “Office” cast is full of folks who sometimes have a hard time containing their laughter, but thankfully, they managed to get through the scene without any trouble.

Considering the sheer size of the “Office” fandom, surely Oscar Nunez isn’t the only one with an appreciation for “Gay Witch Hunt.”
