Скачать или смотреть The Paper vs. The Office: What Sets The Spinoff Apart | Set Stories w/ Melvin Gregg

Melvin Gregg explains how Peacock’s newsroom mockumentary finds its own rhythm—separate from The Office—by chasing the real stakes of saving a local paper. In this exclusive Melvin Gregg interview, he breaks down the show’s tone, what makes Detrich tick, and why authenticity beats winks in a mockumentary. If you’re curious about Greg Daniels’ new series and how it captures modern newsroom chaos, this behind-the-scenes chat is for you.

Collider’s Michael Zimmerman sits down with Gregg to talk meticulous scripts, where improv actually lives (in reactions), and the “bad news bears of journalism” trying to bring community back to Toledo. Gregg shares a Universal backlot memory, the castmate most likely to break, and the small prop choices that shaped Detrich. Hear how the team balances comedy with the very real fragility of local news in the age of too-much information.
