This season of Dancing With The Stars seriously has a celebrity filled line up, including Melora Hardin AKA Jan from The Office. A lot of fans of the NBC hit The Office are happy to see one of their favorite characters a part of Dancing With The Stars this season and she’s ready to be “boss of the ballroom.”

Jan Levinson on The Office was known as Michael Scott’s (Steve Carell) toxic love interest. She was Michael’s supervisor, but always had a tough time keeping it professional. Fans of the series loved the relationship between Michael and Jan, many were pretty sad to see them part ways before the end of the series.

Michael runs into Jan and finds out that she’s pregnant. Poor Michael is in disbelief that she went to a sperm bank over having a child with him. Even though he’s not the dad, Michael still steps into the father role for a time. This episode holds the iconic Michael quote: “You cheated on me? when I specifically asked you not to?”
