The decision to have him be strangled by the Scranton Strangler is probably going to be unpopular. But don’t even tease that.
Yes, I’m taking over. My character’s name is Deangelo Vickers, he loves the American Southwest, and he’s just kind of in his own way going to step into Michael Scott’s shoes and try to fill them. I’m friends with Steve and a fan of the show, and I just selfishly wanted to do one episode with him, and they pitched multiple ones, and I said, ‘That’d be great.’
Will Ferrell, on his upcoming four-episode guest stint on The Office. He also told EW that he’s going to become a regular on the series after this arc—"Yeah, [it’ll be] a regular, full-time gig"—but you should probably take that declaration with a grain of salt:
Behind the scenes, however, sources closes to Ferrell and NBC dismissed the idea. One insider thisclose to the actor highly doubted Ferrell will join the show next fall and a network insider likewise rejected the notion. Another source, however, said that the actor’s schedule is being cleared to accommodate a possible run next season on NBC. Finally, a production source left wiggle room either way: “Will was likely joking, but time will tell.”
Question time! How much longer should ‘The Office’ last?
Last night, Ricky Gervais joked that he’d like to see The Office continue indefinitely—since he gets more money the longer the show’s on the air. NBC probably agrees with that sentiment. But in your mind, how many more seasons does the show deserve? Will one Steve Carell-less year be enough, or do you want to live to see Cece Halpert-Beesley take over Dunder Mifflin in 2040—if paper even still exists then?
