The Office Fans Have Some Wild Theories About Why Danny Cordray Disappeared – Looper

When Danny Cordray was hired to be a salesman at Dunder Mifflin in “The Office,” he brought plenty of drama with him. Most notably, Danny once went on a date with Pam, yet rejected her because he found her to be too dorky. Despite being verbally mentioned during Michael Scott’s final Dundies Award Ceremony, Danny vanished after two episodes, and fans have theories where he went. 

Over on Reddit, some of the theories were out of this world, with one user proposing he died on route to his home planet, implying he was an alien. Meanwhile, u/ll_Maurice_ll kept the character’s final destination more local by theorizing that he moved to Kentucky to kill hillbillies. This is also implying he switched his identity to Raylan Givens of “Justified,” who Timothy Olyphant also plays. On YouTube, @ricksanchez5971 also proposed a fun crossover.

“Now he’s in Mandalorian,” they posted in reference to Olyphant’s role on the Disney+ series. These fun explanations were shot down by some, who turned to both fictional and real-life logic. 

“Guys,” Evan Hughe posted on YouTube, “its because he is Dunder Mifflin’s on the road salesman. He doesn’t work in the actual office.” u/sinsaraly also took a more logical approach, assuming Olyphant’s schedule didn’t allow for more appearances. Whatever the actual reason, Danny’s disappearance remains a mystery and will surely be discussed further amongst the show’s fans.
