During Chile’s 2025 Teletón, “La Oficina” from the 1978 comedy show "Jappening con Ja" came back in a big way. The sketch showed its classic characters: a loud, clueless boss, a kiss-up worker, a lazy womanizer, a plain but strict secretary, a very sexy secretary and surprise visits from the big boss and the boss’s wife.
