Ed Helms spilled on the “valuable lessons” he’s realized in present enterprise together with how one bad-tempered gag from “The Office” reminded him of President Donald Trump.
The actor and comic spoke on Tuesday at a Nevada marketing campaign rally for Vice President Kamala Harris’ working mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz. Throughout his remarks, Helms mirrored on his “Office” character, Andy Bernard, punching a gap in a wall “because his fragile little ego couldn’t handle getting made fun of.”
“We don’t want leaders with fragile little egos,” Helms declared.
“We need steady, grounded, reliable leaders who reach out and build bridges, both figuratively and literally. Leaders who heal our divisions, not worsen them.”
Helms was referring to an iconic scene from the third season of “The Office” the place Andy punched a gap in a wall in a match of rage after Jim Halpert (performed by John Krasinski) and Pam Beesly (performed by Jenna Fischer) pulled a prank on him.
The actor would later punch one other gap in a wall and get fired from his function as regional supervisor of Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton location within the present’s eighth season. He’d ultimately be introduced again into the function later within the season.
Helms, elsewhere in his remarks earlier than Walz’s speech Tuesday, made a dig on the GOP nominee by pointing to a lesson he realized enjoying Stuart Value in “The Hangover” films.
″[They] taught me that waking as much as chaos is rarely good,” he mentioned.
“And that’s something we all had to kind of get used to back around 2016 to 2020. Do you remember that? Just chaos all the time, day after day, and I for one sure as hell don’t want to go back to that.”
