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."

ARTICLE: David Brent In US Office - Video!



The moment you've all been waiting for - David Brent is back!


As you can see from the clip above, it's not the most amazing of moments but with Brent asking if there's any jobs going, it is a sign pointing to Brent perhaps taking over Michael Scott's role and continuing in the series. It's all just rumours and speculation, more than likely on purpose so people like me talk about it, but still I think it would be a good move. US Office is absolutely huge over there, and quite big over here (and not nearly big enough) and as I've said before, I think it's become far funnier than the UK Office and a lot more varied but I'm not the only one either. This week's episode was quite a good return to form but, seriously, get rid of Ryan - he's pointless now. Thoughts?

NEWS: Ricky Gervais in US Office Announced!

Ricky Gervais Will Appear In US Office! My Dream Has Come True!

For IDIOTS out there who don't watch US office (probably basing it on an episode from the first series and missing out on some of the best comedy to ever come out of the States) then this might not mean much, but for those who think the US Office is better than UK Office (which I'm afraid to say it is marginally - basically because the jokes are more frequent, fresh and the characters are much more fleshed out - UK Office was funny but sorry, I'd sit and watch a US Office over a UK Office now any time of the week), this means a lot.

People who don't give US Office a chance have to remember it's now a completely different creature which in no way really resembles UK Office and though the last season or two have been a bit off, overall the US Office has provided me with most of the best comedy I've seen for a while. Not to shit on UK Office because I love it, but I prefer the US one. Controversial yes.

Anyway, Gervais is set to appear as David Brent in a cameo, BUT seeing as Carrell is leaving, could this possibly mean Brent might return in the US Office? That would be the best thing ever. Imagine Andy, Dwight, Creed and all that dealing with Brent-isms. Can't wait for the second half of this series to start. I can now look forward to Fridays with even more enthusiasm!

NEWS: What Will Happen To The Office's Steve Carell?

We all know Michael Scott is leaving The Office, but not this soon!


It's been announced that Steve Carell's Michael Scott is leaving at the end of Season 7 already, but apparently he will leave four episodes or so from the end so that the series ends on a high as they search for a new manager. Kathy Bates rather crap CEO will return but with the last couple of series being rather lacklustre, and series 5 only just screening on UK televisions, it might breathe a breath of fresh air into a show that Carell clearly thinks should quit ahead. However I doubt NBC exec's will agree.
