So, a male character from an Emmy-winning workplace sitcom whose common first name starts with W, who is reasonably attractive. The show aired in the last 10 years, but isn’t airing now. My sitcom intake for the last decade basically consisted of _The Big Bang Theory._ I don’t think this is from that. I didn’t watch _The Office_ or _Parks and Recreation_. Miss Take (or anyone else) have any ideas? I’m comin’ up with zilch. ---

Only name I can think of is Will Schuster from _Glee_, but I don’t remember where that was set and it’s not really a sitcom. I, too, never watched _The Office_ and while I tried _Parks and Recreation_, I couldn’t get into it. Ditto _30 Rock_ No one W named from _Community_ or _Brooklyn Nine-Nine_ that I can think of. I’m at a loss. ---

This is indeed a character from _The Office_, although a very meta one, as he’s played by another character. I am # **William M. “Bill” Buttlicker** From this classic scene: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHrN5Mf5sgo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHrN5Mf5sgo) ---
