David Rogers is an American film editor, television director and producer best known for working on NewsRadio, Entourage, The Office, and Space Force. In 2007, he received the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series for his work on The Office's third season finale, "The Job", which he shared with Dean Holland[1] and another Emmy for the series finale, "Finale", which he shared with Claire Scanlon.

Professional background
[edit]Rogers began his career as an assistant editor on a variety of sitcoms throughout the mid-to-late 1990s and into the 2000s. These shows included The Single Guy, Seinfeld, Oh, Grow Up and NewsRadio. He first worked as a senior editor on the Seinfeld episode The Clip Show in 1998. Since then he has edited on comedies such as NewsRadio, The O'Keefes, The Comeback and Entourage, as well as 95 broadcast episodes of The Office.[3] He started directing episodes of The Office in season 5, and at the beginning of the sixth season, Rogers became an associate producer on the series. He attained the rank of co-producer beginning with seventh season.[4]
Rogers worked as a Supervising Producer/Editor/Director on the romantic sitcom The Mindy Project from 2013 to 2017, and was part of the production team that transitioned to Hulu after the show was canceled by FOX after three seasons. [5]
As NBC was launching their streaming service Peacock, Rogers pitched the idea to include footage and promotional materials that would traditionally be included on DVD copies as bonus materials. This later became the impetus for the creation of the Peacock-exclusive "Superfan" episodes of The Office, in which Rogers has edited additional footage and deleted scenes along with the original broadcast episodes to create extended versions of some episodes.
