Fans of NBC's long running series, The Office, know by now that star Steve Carell (Regional Manager Michael Scott) is leaving the show at the end of this season.
Reports have indicated that Carell is leaving the series a number of episodes before the end of this season to allow the show to turn its focus to finding Michael Scott's replacement as the plot has that character leaving Scranton's Dunder-Mifflin/Sabre branch as part of the storyline.
The last 4 shows of this season will start to develop the "post-Michael Scott" era on the long running series that will carry into next season and subsequent seasons as well! These shows will have the branch begin a search for a "qualified" internal or external candidate to fill the regional manager role.
The character being played by Will Ferrell in these episodes with be an "interim" manager who will stick around until a permanent replacement is found! Early reports indicate that Ferrell's character might even be more inappropriate than Michael Scott...can't wait to see how they play this one out!
Note:
Ricky Gervais, who played boss David Bent in the original U.K. version of The Office is making a cameo appearance on tonight's episode of the NBC's The Office (January 27).
