Director Ken Kwapis goes inside ‘Casino Night’ on its 10th anniversary.
No one forgets their first kiss.
With that, season 2 was over and Jim and Pams relationship was officially starting.

NBC
I think one of the lovely things about the show is how awkward everyone seems.
It just helps the emotions.
It was very low-lit, very moody.

NBC
John and Jenna wanted to stay separated from one another until the actual moment they were doing the scene.
As an audience member, you get to fill in those emotions that you cant see on her face.
You get to imagine how shes reacting.

NBC
In a funny way, it puts you in her shoes.
Of course we were prepared.
KWAPIS:Its a small moment, and Jim just lights up.

NBC
The fact that Pam leans her head against his shoulder changes the whole day for him.
For me, thats the beginning of their romance.
