Overserved

di Flannery Kate (Autore)

Gallery Books, 2026

In this hilariously offbeat memoir, actress and “late bloomer” Kate Flannery shares her crawl to fame, from waiting on Hollywood’s rich and famous to getting her big break at age forty when she landed the role of Meredith, everyone’s favorite drunk on NBC’s hit comedy series, The Office. An Irish American bar owner’s daughter, Kate was born to play a TV drunk. Before landing her breakout role as Meredith Palmer on The Office, Kate worked tirelessly as a waitress, back-up singer, movie extra, off-Broadway actor, host and comedian, grinding day and night to make her Hollywood dreams a reality. In Overserved, Kate opens up like never before, sharing what it was like to go from serving celebrities in LA to becoming one herself. While on The Office she embraced the unapologetically inappropriate character of Meredith. Sticking to the documentary style of the show, Kate boldly wore little to no makeup on screen. Doing a lot of her own stunts and working with the most creative writers on TV, Kate had some of the most memorable moments on the show. Fans of The Office won’t want to miss Kate’s behind-the-scenes stories of finding love onset of the Office with NBC photographer Chris Haston and filming classic scenes like getting hit by Michael Scott’s car, Dwight bagging her head with the bat and her fearless courage shooting of Casual Friday. Did Kate really shave her head? You’ll have to read the book to find out! Kate’s story is a testament that it’s never too late in life to achieve your dreams. Little did Kate know that observing the cast of characters who frequented her father’s bar would provide inspiration for getting the part that changed her life. With relentless hard work, faith, humility, pleasant persistence and a down-to-earth spirit, Kate has earned every bit of her success and is just as hilarious off-screen as she is on. At the heart of it all, every day was a good day at The Office.
