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.
Kate Flannery and Oscar Nunez competed during Thursday's episode - and notably played the characters of Meredith and Oscar respectively on the hit NBC sitcom which aired for nine seasons.
The two stars joined host Jimmy Kimmel as they tried to score the top $1 million prize which they plan to donate to charities.
At one point, the pair had reached the final question which Flannery, 61, had to answer.
The question was: 'The word "planet" comes from an ancient Greek word that literally means what?' The options were: 'Powerful, Stranger, Immortal and Wanderer.'
Nunez, 66, jumped out of his seat and nervously laid face down on the ground which caused the live audience to laugh in response.

The actor encouraged his former co-star to choose an answer and she locked in 'Wanderer' as her final choice.
Nunez paced back and forth behind Flannery as he placed his hands on his head while jokingly saying, 'I hate this game.'
The actress anxiously threw her hands to her face as the two stars waited for the talk show host to reveal whether the answer was right or wrong.
However, Kimmel opted to draw out the suspense and expressed, 'So much wandering. I could make a case for every one of these choices.
'And you're laying down looking up at the sky and stranger, immortal, powerful, all reasonable choices.'
The comedian then stated, 'And yet the choice you made by putting yourself in the body of an ancient Greek, perhaps even Galileo himself to choose the correct answer.'
The crowd erupted into applause while Nunez stepped back in stunned silence while Flannery yelled, 'Oh my gosh!'
She jumped out of her seat and walked over to her co-star to give him a high five as confetti began to flow down from the ceiling.

In regards to joining an entirely new cast, Nunez recently told Variety, 'They're all so good.
'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.'
When it comes to the writing for The Paper, the actor expressed, 'Nothing will ever be like The Office. That was crazy how funny that was. But this is not too shabby.'
Nunez also opened up about reprising his role of Oscar and said, 'His company was bought by a bigger company, and they decided to keep him on board.
'"You want to keep working for this company? You're going to have to relocate." It's the same fella but in a different city, probably making more money if he negotiated properly.'

Jimmy Kimmel Live! was pulled off the air following comments he made about Charlie Kirk's assassination and the suspected shooter Tyler Robinson.
Kirk was fatally shot on September 10 while speaking at Utah Valley University.
However, the late night talk show host returned to the air on Tuesday and broke records as his opening monologue became his most-watched one on YouTube.
