"Let's Do It": CNN Pundit Asks "The Office" Star For Tips On Breaking The Fourth Wall

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings issued an invitation to �The
Office� star John Krasinski during a Wednesday evening broadcast, saying that
he�d been compared to Krasinski�s character Jim Halpert and suggesting that
they get together and compare notes.

Krasinski, as Halpert, garnered a reputation throughout the popular series�
run for repeatedly breaking the fourth wall � blurring the line between the
performers and the audience � by looking straight at the camera when he
reacted to the actions of his costars. Jennings, who often appears on �CNN
NewsNight� with anchor Abby Phillip, has a habit of doing the same.

On Wednesday�s show, Phillip strayed from the politics of the day and asked
her panel about their dream �celebrity encounters� � and Jennings suggested a
confab between himself and Krasinski.

�It�s been suggested to me by the internet that I get some inspiration from
Jim Halpert during my CNN appearances,� Jennings captioned the video clip he
shared. �@johnkrasinski, I�m very coachable if you want to come on and show
me how it�s done.�

Jennings noted that �The Office� was a favorite show of his, and suggested
that perhaps he and Krasinski could get together and �discuss the correct way
to look into a camera when something is happening that you think is wild. So
anyway, John, if you want to come on someday we can discuss this, ah, let�s
do it. It would be pretty funny.�

Throughout his comments, Jennings paused from time to time to give an
exaggerated look toward the camera � each time prompting laughs from around
the table.

�This is very good,� Phillip conceded.

Vice President JD Vance also rated a Jim Halpert comparison during his debate
with Governor Tim Walz (D-MN), as he often looked at the camera when reacting
to the answers Walz was giving to the moderators� questions.
