‘8 Views of Lake Biwa’ Review: Enigmatic Estonian Romantic Drama Floats on Striking Imagery and Burgeoning Desire

‘The Office’ Writer Says ‘SNL’s’ Japanese Office Parody With Steve Carell ‘Didn’t Feel Right’ and Left Him ‘Rankled’: ‘All the Actors Are White People’

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Before Mike Schur helped create beloved comedy series like “The Good Place,” “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Parks and Recreation,” he won Emmys as a writer on “Saturday Night Live” and “The Office.” The two series collided in May 2008 when “The Office” star Steve Carell hosted “SNL” and participated in a viral digital short titled “The Japanese Office,” which has since earned 17 million views on YouTube.
