How do you say goodbye to a television series that changed comedy? Well, for starters, you can just live in denial for a bit longer. Or, you can celebrate The Office with the great guest stars that have passed through the halls of Dunder Mifflin, which is exactly what John Krasinski is doing with a web series of "Farewell" videos for NBC.com

In this exclusive first look, David Koechner, aka Todd Packer, aka the "Pak Man," talks about how he ended up in the role of the chauvinistic and crude salesman. (Spoiler: He has Steve Carell to thank), and what it was really like on the set of The Office.

Check out his interview below, and try not to well up when you see season-two footage with Michael Scott. 

(E! and NBC are both part of the NBCUniversal family.)
