Screen capture from Season 6, Episode 21 of American sitcom "The Office." The image depicts Michael Scott (portrayed by Steve Carell) wearing a shirt with an open collar spread over his jacket lapels and a backward Kangol hat striking a pose as the character's insufferably cringy alter-ego "Date Mike."
