There's no denying that J.R., the head of Cognito, gives off some majorly incompetent Michael Scott vibe. Still, given that Duke came onto "The Office" well after Steve Carell's departure, it makes sense that those similarities wouldn't be completely obvious to the actor. "I'm sure there are similarities, and they're probably just subconscious on my part," he said.
There's no doubt that "The Office" fans will up the office hijinx that "Inside Job" offers. After all, "The Office" never had a sentient mushroom. "I think fans of "The Office" would definitely like the show because, at the end of the day, it is an office sitcom about this group of people that work in this office," Duke concurred. "The office is just very off the wall. But it's still got that similar dynamic. You've got the guy in the office that's a loudmouth, and somebody's a know-it-all, and it's like ... the dynamics are still there. So yeah, I think anybody that liked 'The Office' would like the show."
