helms left the show in 2006, but has occasionally returned for brief appearances. on july 21, 2008 he returned for obama quest – a segment covering senator barack obama's trip to iraq. he occasionally narrates the prescott group educational films on sister series "the colbert report". in late july 2006, nbc announced that helms was added to the cast of the mockumentary "the office", alongside fellow "the daily show" correspondent steve carell, in a recurring role as andy bernard, a nostalgic cornell graduate who is obsessed with a cappella music. helms was a series regular starting with the 3rd season. "he had so much in common with this character we wanted to create," recalled paul lieberstein, a writer for the show who also plays toby flenderson, the human resources representative at the scranton branch of dunder mifflin. "i can't remember when they started merging." helms returned to "the daily show" on december 5, 2006, stating he had been gone because he was "undercover at a paper company in scranton", an allusion to his stint on "the office". in february 2007, nbc announced that helms had been promoted to series regular, and in february 2010 helms was added to the show's opening credits. helms quickly became a solidifying part of the cast, and eventually came to be one of the show's producers. in june 2009, on a radio interview with national public radio, helms said that like his character, andy bernard, he is obsessed with a cappella music.
