Lisa Gilroy joins The Paper season two as Lisa Graysh, a new HR representative. She appears with Melvin Gregg's Detrick Moore in Peacock's first-look image. All of season two began streaming on September 9 in the United States, so fans can see her scenes now.
Who is Lisa Graysh?
Lisa is part of the Toledo Truth Teller's workplace world, where editor Ned Sampson is trying to keep the newspaper going. An HR visit is an easy way to put the staff's awkward habits under a spotlight. Peacock describes Gilroy's role as a guest appearance, not a permanent change to the main cast.
Gilroy is known for quick comic turns in shows including Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Shrinking, Twisted Metal and A Man on the Inside. She has also appeared on Dropout. Fans who know her from comedy may be interested in seeing how she fits into a mockumentary built around interruptions, uncomfortable meetings and people talking straight to the camera.
What did the cast say about working with her?
Domhnall Gleeson, who plays Ned, told Peacock that Gilroy would start performing as soon as the cameras rolled and keep giving the cast funny options. His short description makes the appeal clear:
“Lisa just goes. They call action and she just goes. And all of it is funny.” — Domhnall Gleeson
Eric Rahill, who plays another member of the paper's staff, also discussed how much improvisation went into their scenes. That is a useful detail for viewers because Lisa's interactions can feel spontaneous even within the show's scripted workplace story.
Where can you watch The Paper?
Both seasons stream on Peacock in the US. Season two arrived September 9, 2026. The series follows the documentary crew from The Office as it films a struggling Toledo newspaper, but Lisa Gilroy's guest role belongs to this new cast. John Krasinski's earlier set visit was not an announcement that Jim Halpert appears in the show.
If you are watching mainly for Gilroy, look for Lisa Graysh at the newspaper rather than expecting a separate spin-off. The photo of Lisa and Detrick is the first clear look at how the guest character fits into the office.
