The stars of “The Office” plan to donate the money to two U.S. charities: Planned Parenthood and Philabundance, a food bank that serves the Philadelphia region. 
Before Flannery answered the final question, her co-star nervously dropped to the floor; “I hate this game,” joked Nuñez.
Neither seemed confident in the choice they made for the question: “The word ‘planet’ comes from an ancient Greek word meaning?”
The actors had to choose from the words: “mighty,” “immortal,” “strange,” and “wanderer.” After a bit of discussion, they chose the last one.
“So much digression. I could argue for each of these choices,” said host Jimmy Kimmel, before revealing whether the answer was correct or not.
The audience and contestants remained silent until the host finally ended the suspense and announced that the actors had just won $1 million, the game’s top prize.
Nuñez and Flannery celebrated as confetti rained down on the stage. “What’s happening?” asked the actress. Shortly after, the two received the big check from Kimmel.
“The Office,” still one of the most beloved TV series, originally aired for nine seasons, from 2005 to 2013, and Nuñez and Flannery appeared in all of them as the characters Oscar and Meredith.
