Billie Eilishreally is a superfan ofThe Office!
“Oh yeah, I know this scene quite well,” says Eilish, who onceclaimed to have watched the entire series 14 times.
“Well for decorations, maybe we could do… No, that’s stupid, forget it,” says Eilish, 21, as the often bashful and self-defeating Phyllis.
After floating the idea of streamers, she gives up: “But that’s dumb, everybody has streamers, never mind.”
After Fischer-as-Pam agrees they should have green streamers, Kinsey deadpans a classic Angela line: “I think green is kind of whorish.”

The trio break characters and then break into cheers before Fischer tells Eilish, “You’re officially in the PPC [party planning committee]!”
Eilish told starsSteve CarellandBrian BaumgartneronAn Oral History of The Officepodcast in 2020 that her love ofThe Officebegan when she started watching the hit series as a tween.
“Every time I watch it, I understand something new, because I started at [age] 12,” she said at the time.
Eilish added that watching the series has become a coping mechanism that takes her “away from the reality of my life. It’s a safe space.”
She added, “And honestly, if you asked my parents, this makes me sound so stupid, but the most of the things that I know are because ofThe Office.” In fact, Eilish tells Kinsey and Fischer on this weeks' episode ofOffice Ladiesthat the show even led her astray a few times, especially when it comes to the hometown of the bandU2.

For his part, Carell said onThe Ellen DeGeneres Showthat same year that he gained “definite credibility” with his kids after getting a nod from the Grammy winner.
