Adam Scott 's audition tape for The Office is now part of the curriculum in a prestigious acting class, he revealed during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon . But it's not all good news for the actor, as he joked his audition is an example of "what not to do."
On Thursday night's episode, Scott shared that his daughter participated in an acting program over the summer in New York while he and his family were in town as Scott films the third season of Severance .
On the first day, Scott recalled, the teacher showed Scott's Office audition and John Krasinski's Office audition.

"And then he put it to the class like, 'OK. Let's discuss why he got the job, and he didn't,'" Scott said.
Scott added that the teacher "had no idea" his daughter was in the class and that she was "mortified" by the experience.
But Scott has found a silver lining to what happened.
"I'm just happy to know that, like, in a prestigious acting class, I'm the subject of what not to do," he joked to Fallon.
Ultimately, the teacher realized who Scott's daughter is: "When she was walking out, the teacher stopped her," he recalled. "He's like, 'Hey, um, do you know one of them? Like, what…' and then he kind of put two and two together with her last name, and he felt terrible."
Though Scott didn't land the Jim Halpert role on The Office , he went on to work with Office writers Mike Schur and Greg Daniels on fellow NBC comedy Parks and Recreation .
Scott told Fallon that he was currently filming the third season of Severance , noting that it had been almost two years since they finished shooting the second season of the acclaimed Apple TV workplace drama.
But Scott was light on additional details, saying he can't share anything about what happens in the new season, and he doesn't even know when it will premiere.
