Few things seem to be as hot right now as crossovers, even if just for publicity. In a clever marketing move, a behind-the-scenes clip for John Krasinski's upcoming film "IF" starring Ryan Reynolds has surfaced, bringing back a classic prank from "The Office."
The NBC sitcom "The Office" featured a memorable cold open where Jim (played by Krasinski) hired Randall Park to impersonate him and confuse Dwight (portrayed by Rainn Wilson). Now, in a comedic twist, the BTS promo clip for the Super Bowl has Park back to prank Ryan Reynolds by being "John Krasinski".
The video shared on social media such as X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube begins with Ryan Reynolds introducing himself, only to be joined by Randall Park (Totally Killer), who insists that he is John Krasinski, the writer and director of the IF film.
Reynolds, clearly perplexed, challenges Park's claim, stating, "You're not John Krasinski; you're Randall Park. John Krasinski is much shorter and less Asian than you are." There's probably a universe where this joke plays out even better with Reynolds playing along, but we'll leave that to your imagination.
