The Office Stars Leave 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' Stunned: $1 Million Win!

Two stars from the beloved series The Office made an appearance on the season finale of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - and won the top prize

SHOCKING WIN: The Office Stars Kate Flannery and Oscar Nunez Just Won a MILLION DOLLARS on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, two beloved stars from the hit NBC sitcom The Office are making headlines once again - but this time for their mind-blowing win on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! Kate Flannery and Oscar Nunez, who played the iconic characters of Meredith and Oscar respectively, competed in Thursday's episode of the popular game show and took home the top prize of $1 million!

The two stars joined host Jimmy Kimmel for a night filled with laughter, excitement, and suspense. But what made this win even more special was that Flannery and Nunez are planning to donate their entire winnings to charity - specifically Planned Parenthood and Philabundance, which aims to end hunger in the Philadelphia area.

But before we dive into the details of their big win, let's talk about the drama surrounding the show. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! host Jimmy Kimmel was recently suspended "indefinitely" by ABC after making some shocking comments about Charlie Kirk's assassination and the suspected shooter Tyler Robinson. However, Kimmel returned to the air on Tuesday with a bang - literally breaking records with his opening monologue becoming his most-watched one on YouTube!

Now back to Flannery and Nunez's incredible win! The two stars were visibly nervous but still managed to crack each other up throughout the episode. At one point, Nunez even laid face down on the ground in a hilarious attempt to distract his co-star from answering a question correctly. But ultimately, it was Flannery who nailed it with her final answer - "Wanderer" being the correct response to the ancient Greek word that literally means what?

The crowd erupted into applause as Kimmel drew out the suspense, teasing them with every possibility. But in the end, it was Flannery's confidence and quick thinking that paid off, leaving both Nunez and Kimmel stunned.

"We're not getting any younger, you know," a beaming Flannery exclaimed after their win. "What is happening? What the hell?"

As confetti rained down on them, Flannery and Nunez shared an emotional high-five, cementing their bond as friends both on and off screen. And let's just say they're not done yet - they'll be reprising their roles in the new The Office spin-off, The Paper, which premiered earlier this month.

But what about their experience working with a new cast? Nunez recently opened up to TheScholarlyNote.com about his thoughts on joining the show. "They're all so good," he gushed. "All you really have to do is show up, do your thing, and keep up with them - and trust that you’re there for a reason, too."

The actor encouraged his former co-star to choose an answer and she locked in 'Wanderer' as her final answer

And when it comes to the writing of The Paper, Nunez praised its unique humor. "Nothing will ever be like The Office. That was crazy how funny that was. But this is not too shabby."

As we celebrate Flannery and Nunez's incredible win, let's also take a moment to appreciate their generosity. They're using their winnings to make a real difference in the world - proving once again why they're not just beloved stars but true heroes off screen.
