NEWS: Do We Have Michael Scott's Replacement? *SPOILER*

We now all know that Carrell will be leaving The Office and there will be a large gap to fill afterwards. However, it's been confirmed that a huge film star will be filming at least 4 episodes in order to build 'an arc' as the new boss of Scranton's Dunder Mifflin. Want to find out? Read on... *SPOILER RIGHT BENEATH THIS LINE*


The movie star is the one and only Will Ferrell. It is likely he will feature in the double episode "Goodbye, Michael" and will probably help finish up the seventh season by either suggesting he is the new boss, or I imagine by appointing someone who is completely unfit for the job. Daryl maybe? It can't be Jim and for a second last week, I thought it was going to be Packer! Paul Lieberstein (aka Toby) says this: "We found Steve Carrell when he was nothing but a movie star and we turned him into a television star ... We are proud to continue The Office's tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope once America gets a good look at Will, they'll see what we see, tremendous raw sexuality."
