Summary
Rainn Wilson, who played Dwight Schrute on 'The Office,' told Fox News Digital that the beloved NBC sitcom could not be made in today's cultural climate due to its politically incorrect and 'inappropriate' humor. Wilson noted that characters like Dwight Schrute and Michael Scott lacked self-awareness, which allowed for edgy comedy that would be difficult to produce now. He expressed nostalgia for that era of comedy.
