Hubbub What Milwaukee is talking about SHARE

Kenny Strasser, the yo-yo man who managed to dupe a handful of television stations into booking him live on morning news and feature shows, has landed a part in NBC-TV's "The Office."

So says Joanne Park, a publicist for the network.

Strasser is actually Mark Proksch of Milwaukee. In May, Strasser duped stations in Green Bay and Madison, as well as a station in Missouri, into booking him as a yo-yo master who loves kids. In the appearances, it became readily apparent Proksch was more performance artist than yo-yo master.

Park says Proksch has landed the part of "Nate" in the popular comedy, and will help Dwight Schrute, played by actor Rainn Wilson, as a handyman.

Park said Proksch is expected to appear in his first episode next Thursday, and would be in an undetermined number of upcoming episodes.

On his Twitter account, Wilson welcomes the new cast member.
