The 2024 Sexiest Man Alive: John Krasinski
Every year, PEOPLE Magazine hosts a much-anticipated competition to name the “Sexiest Man Alive.”This year, it’s a title that surely delights fans of comedy from the mid-2000s to the early 2010s—yes, the honor goes to the multi-talented John Krasinski!
While I’m making a lighthearted jest here, it’s hard not to express genuine excitement for Krasinski, whom I genuinely admire. As a fan of *The Office*, it would be remiss of me not to poke fun at his iconic character, Jim Halpert. For those who may not know, there’s a humorous twist here that merits explanation.
In one memorable episode of *The Office*, Jim, played by Krasinski (not Randall Park, as a playful slip might suggest), cleverly pranks Dwight Schrute, portrayed by Rainn Wilson. The entire Dunder Mifflin staff participates in the ruse, leading Dwight to believe he “doesn’t see race.”This joke sticks with me and comes to mind whenever John Krasinski’s name is mentioned. It’s a classic comedy moment that highlights the unique charm of the show.
As soon as the announcement was revealed, I couldn’t resist sharing my comedic take.

Krasinski is set to reprise his role as Jack Ryan in an upcoming film, adding to his longstanding appeal as a heartthrob. His recognition this year might be surprising, considering many fans anticipated names like Pedro Pascal or Glen Powell to win. However, it’s refreshing to see beloved comedy figures featured prominently in this year’s announcement, representing shows like *The Office* and *New Girl*.

Regarded as the “official office crush,”this announcement brings joy to the many fans of NBC comedies.
A Fun Announcement on Late Night
The announcement of Krasinski as the Sexiest Man Alive came in a delightful segment on *The Late Show with Stephen Colbert*. Colbert invited Krasinski onto the stage to humorously share tips on what it means to be sexy, showcasing why he truly deserves this title. It’s a cheesy yet endearing moment reminiscent of Krasinski’s breakout comedy days back in 2005.
Typically, the title of Sexiest Man Alive doesn’t go to the current internet heartthrob, making it a delightful surprise to see someone so beloved take home the award. This win feels particularly special for those of us who love to binge-watch *The Office*—this one’s for all the fans out there!
