John Krasinski and Emily Blunt Prank Jimmy Kimmel

Last year, Jimmy Kimmel did what he thought was necessary to put an end to an ongoing prank feud with his neighbors John Krasinski and Emily Blunt. He not only made it snow in Los Angeles, but also he gift-wrapped their entire house from roof to lawn with Christmas carolers and an elf thrown in for fun. While one would think that would be impossible to top, this year Krasinski and Blunt struck back, and it turns out they are kind of evil geniuses.

But on _Jimmy Kimmel Live!_ Monday night, Kimmel revealed that Blunt and Krasinski have managed to best him, and he had the video to prove it. Not only did they gift wrap his car, but they filled in with sparkly baubles that he had to remove before he could drive. That was a good prank, but it was just phase one of their dastardly Christmas scheme.

When these people feud, everyone wins.

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt37031f0828487efc/6986a49bcd6848228b096934/tgif-17.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

John Stamos. Though Stamos’ post-Full House career seems to have largely taken place in the pages of tabloids, he has had recurring appearances of ER, Glee and The New Normal, making him a consistent presence on the small screen. He most recently appeared as Connor McClane on the series Necessary Roughness in 2013. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf79ce68c53fdd62d/6986a499adae448c45545147/tgif-11.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Candace Cameron. Though she had a handful of roles after Full House ended its run in 1995, Cameron’s biggest TV appearance after TGIF was in the 2014 season of Dancing With the Stars, where she placed third. A resolute religious conservative, she has also penned two books, 2011’s Reshaping It All: Motivation for Physical and Spiritual Fitness and 2014’s Balancing It All: My Story of Juggling Priorities and Purpose. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt462af67f026c0136/6986a49bd0b6f2b5e8306391/tgif-16.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Inarguably the most successful of all the TGIF alumni, the Olsen twins spun their Full House fame into an empire and launched a series of successful fashion labels including The Row and Elizabeth & James. Getty Images (2)


![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfadf8de00718305d/6986a49955a8593f06a82b3a/tgif-10.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Bob Saget. For nearly a decade Saget played Danny Tanner, the doting father on the super cuddly Full House. That might explain why he has since taken up a host of non-G rated projects. From directing 1998’s Dirty Work to his adult stand-up routine to guest starring on Entourage, Saget has moved far away from his TGIF days. (Though he did voice the future Ted Mosby in CBS’s largely sweet sitcom How I Met Your Mother.) To cap it all off, this year Saget released his memoir called Dirty Daddy: The Chronicles of a Family Man Turned Filthy Comedian. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb0073e6d1393faca/6986a498f983e74ef204fc54/tgif-09.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Jodie Sweetin. The former child actor moved on from Full House to work irregularly in television throughout the late ‘90s and into the aughts. In 2009, she penned the memoir 'unsweetened,' in which she revealed that she had long grappled with a meth addiction. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt2bc3596accfa2b6c/6986a49a35ba6f21b3c03f16/tgif-13.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Dave Coulier . Since playing Uncle Joey on Full House, Coulier has juggled stand-up comedy, voice work and TV presenting with occasional appearances on reality series such as The Surreal Life. In 2013, he appeared as himself on an episode of How I Met Your Mother. Getty Images (2)


![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf7900a561081a084/6986a49a13c79ff460193fcd/tgif-14.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Jaleel White. The man behind Steve Urkel—the most famous of all TGIF’s characters—went on to study film and television production at UCLA. He also continued to act, doing television guest spots and voice work. This year, fans might have spotted him playing Grandmaster Caz on Comedy Central’s Drunk History. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6e04241b12c718ff/6986a498adae447a5c545143/tgif-07.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Reginald VelJohnson. The Family Matters patriarch has worked steadily since the show ended, guest-starring on everything from Bones to General Hospital to Mike & Molly, in addition to film and theater roles. Most recently VelJohnson has had a recurring role on the Rachel Bilson vehicle Hart of Dixie, playing a small-town blogger. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt982f09f28289e568/6986a497adae44df4254513f/tgif-06.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Darius McCrary. Since appearing as Eddie Winslow on Family Matters, McCrary has provided the voice for Jazz in 2007’s Transformers and had recurring roles on Freedom, Committed and The Young and the Restless. He most recently appeared as a regular on the Charlie Sheen series, Anger Management. Getty Images (2)


![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltfa7eb2ea863730c6/6986a49cd0b6f2f01c306395/tgif-02.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Ben Savage. After graduating from Stanford and taking sporadic TV and film parts, the boy who once met the world returned to role of Cory Matthews in this year’s Disney Channel spin-off Girl Meets World. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt52c2b75e79dfd95c/6986a49c810bbb4be0c938fb/tgif-01.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Danielle Fishel. After taking on a handful of film and television roles and earning a degree in psychology from the California State University, Fullerton, Fishel joined her former castmates and reprised the role of Topanga in Girl Meets World. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt167f03bd51dc0850/6986a4983bc99926331a570e/tgif-08.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Will Friedle. Once Boy Meets World ended, Friedle continued to work in kids’ television, voicing a number of animated characters such as Ron Stoppable from Kim Possible. Getty Images (2)


![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltb1f072845b1ca083/6986a49c361760353490dfd0/tgif-03.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Rider Strong. After playing Shawn Hunter, Strong continued to work in TV and starred in a number of horror movies. He also earned a BA from Columbia University and an MFA from Bennington College and took up directing. Like Savage, Strong returned to his Boy Meets World role for Girl Meets World and also directed a couple of episodes. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6f35e40a4b5cf31f/6986a49a55a8596c1ba82b42/tgif-15.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Mark Curry. The star of Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper hit dark times in the mid-aughts after an accident in his home left him with burns on 18% of his body. The actor later said he contemplated suicide, before receiving support from friends and loved ones. He’s now the star of Bounce TV’s One Love, where he plays Pastor William Winters opposite Sheryl Lee Ralph of Moesha fame. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt8aa29c9964277c42/6986a49b361760119390dfcc/tgif-18.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Melissa Joan Hart. Since starring in Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Hart made numerous onscreen appearances, mostly playing herself. Since 2010, however, she has teamed up with another former-child star Joey Lawrence for the sitcom Melissa & Joey on ABC Family. Getty Images (2)


![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blte9a0b6d06a6d7e92/6986a497cd804da9ddccce5b/tgif-05.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Patrick Duffy. By the time Duffy appeared as Frank Lambert on the Brady Bunch-esque Step by Step, he was already famous for his role Bobby Ewing on Dallas in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Duffy revived his classic role in 2012, when Warner Bros. Television brought back the soap opera. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt6eeec9090331810a/6986a499cd804d88abccce5f/tgif-12.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Suzanne Somers. After playing the matriarch on Step By Step, Somers continued to work in television, most recently hosting her own show in 2012, called The Suzanne Show, and briefly appearing on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in 2013\. However, these days she’s best known for her controversial health theories, which she has promoted in a series of books on diet, aging, cancer treatments and wellness. Getty Images (2)

![TGIF](https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd0a3df43accddbd8/6986a4963bc999ba111a5709/tgif-04.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp)

Christine Lakin. Lakin has worked in TV and film consistently since landing her role on Step By Step. Recent highlights include voicing the news anchor Joyce Kinney on Family Guy from 2009 until 2013 and appearing in this year’s Veronica Mars movie alongside Kristen Bell and Jason Dohring.

## Transcript

[00:00] >>I'm Claire Suddath for TIME. com and I'm here with
[00:02] John Krasinski from NBC's The Office and he has a new
[00:05] film called Away We Go, which comes out June 5th.
[00:08] John, thanks so much for doing this.
[00:09] >>Absolutely.
[00:10] >>You said in other interviews that before acting you
[00:13] wanted to be a history teacher and you're also
[00:15] interested in literature.
[00:16] >>Uh- huh.
[00:17] >>What prompted you to try acting?
[00:19] >>I was insane enough to think that I was gonna play
[00:22] at basketball in college. And when I go to college, I
[00:25] came in a semester late because I was accepted
[00:27] mid- year and went up to the gym, saw that they were
[00:31] both too tall for me and too good for me to play and
[00:35] had a reality check. And literally as I was walking
[00:37] across the campus back to my dorm that day, I ripped
[00:40] off a little flyer that said, audition for the sketch
[00:42] comedy group, and I thought, that would be a good
[00:45] way to spend my time and it ended up being like one
[00:48] of the greatest things I've ever done.
[00:49] >>Do you actually make the trademark expression
[00:52] that Jim gives to the camera in real life or did you
[00:54] make it up for the show?
[00:56] >>And a good question. Do you know what I mean?
[01:00] That's my answer. No, I don't think I looked
[01:04] to a camera in real life. I mean, I'm trying to look back
[01:07] and think that it's at restaurants when someone's like,
[01:10] is everything okay, and I'm like-- It's one of those, I
[01:14] think, that you wish you could do in real life when
[01:17] you're listening to someone talk, not you, that you
[01:20] could just look to a camera and just be like, is this
[01:22] really happening? So, I think that I totally could
[01:25] understand where they were coming from when they
[01:26] told me to do that stuff, but, not, it was all the show.
[01:29] I'm sure you get compared to your TV character all the
[01:32] time, but Carlo Good in Rockland, California, wants to
[01:35] know how are you least like Jim Halpert.
[01:38] >>How am I least like Jim Halpert? That's a pretty
[01:39] good question. Nice. Boy, I hope I'm more
[01:44] ambitious than he is and not content. I think that
[01:48] the thing about the character, Jim, is that he's
[01:52] very rarely willing to take chances like when on the
[01:56] show. He said he wanted to travel to Australia or
[01:57] something like that, but he never does any of those
[02:00] things. And so, I hope that I'm the type of guy who
[02:03] when I have a big idea or big aspiration that I
[02:07] at least try to go do it, at least give it a shot.
[02:10] >>Val Matchus in Schaumburg, Illinois, wants to know
[02:13] what made you agree to do Away We Go.
[02:16] >>What made me agree to do Away We Go? I love
[02:19] that. If there will be anything to agree--
[02:20] >>What drew you-- What drew you to the project?
[02:23] Everything. It was winning the lottery 10 times over.
[02:27] None of this makes sense to me still, but I got a call
[02:31] one day form Sam Mendes who said, I have just read
[02:33] the script and I'm only thinking of you for the part. And
[02:37] I know everybody reading this or seeing this is like, the
[02:40] dude from The Office got a call from Sam Mendes? I
[02:42] know! It's insane. I still can't believe it either. So, it's
[02:46] one of those things where it was greatest opportunity
[02:51] in this huge opportunity that I was truly given.
[02:55] >>Do you plan on taking more dramatic roles or do
[02:57] you prefer comedy? I would love to do more dramatic
[03:00] roles and not to say that I'm moving away from comedy
[03:02] in any way because I'd love to do both. I mean, a good
[03:05] part is a good part and I think I've learned that from
[03:08] everyone that I have been a fan of from, you know,
[03:10] Janice Stewart to Tom Hanks to, you know, even
[03:13] George Clooney. You can play serious moments and
[03:15] funny moments with just a well- written role and I think
[03:18] that Away We Go is a great example of that. I think that
[03:23] I had so much fun playing all these weird odd
[03:25] moments, but at the same time at the end of the movie
[03:27] I have to be a guy who is really scared to have a baby
[03:29] and I think that the reality of a character is
[03:33] always the fun thing to play whether it's funny or
[03:36] dramatic. So, as long as I'm given more opportunities
[03:38] to play real moments, I guess they can be either
[03:41] comedic or dramatic.
[03:43] >>Molly Kordares in New York City says, I can't stop
[03:46] using that's what she said joke with my friends made
[03:49] famous by The Office.
[03:50] >>Yeah.
[03:51] >>Do you guys have the same problem or is it only
[03:52] hard for me?
[03:54] >>We have the exact same problem. And let me tell
[03:56] you something, Molly, it is way more pathetic that we
[04:00] have that problem than you having that problem.
[04:03] There are moments where are some of the best usage
[04:06] of that's what she said ever that I really think we
[04:09] should start and you could start at Time Magazine a
[04:12] little part of a website that's like the best That's What
[04:14] She Said usages because we love hearing them. It's
[04:20] usually a crafty or something when you're asking about
[04:22] food and your imagination can go wherever you are,
[04:26] but when you're talking about taking things and doing
[04:29] things and some I'm just while getting soups, as that's
[04:31] what she said. Usually soup is spilled. There is tears of
[04:33] laughter. So, yeah, we love, love, love, love using
[04:37] it.
[04:38] >>Where do you see your career going from here?
[04:39] >>Wow. That's such an existential question. I
[04:45] hope that I still get the opportunity to work
[04:49] on some incredible movies and do great roles and
[04:53] work with fun people that I've always wanted people to
[04:54] work with. I mean, when I look back on the people I
[04:57] have worked with, it's kind of completely insane. So, if
[05:01] anybody is looking at the resume being like, really, you
[05:03] work with those people? I don't get it either. But, I
[05:06] mean, first and foremost is the show. I mean, having
[05:09] the opportunity to do these movies is fantastic, but
[05:11] then having The Office be my day job that I go back to
[05:14] you is completely and totally ridiculous and
[05:19] really, really fun. So, it's one of those things that like
[05:22] now that you've won the lottery, how are you gonna do
[05:24] it again? I don't know. So, as long as I keep buying
[05:26] winning tickets, I guess that's a real treat.
