It’s been a long road for Steve Carell and Michael Scott, but their time on “The Office” looks like it’s coming to an end.
E! News reports Carell has confirmed he will be leaving the NBC sitcom after Season 7. He made these comments at the red carpet premiere for “Despicable Me.”
“I just think it’s time,” Carell said on the red carpet. “I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.”
Now can the show continue without Michael Scott? Isn’t it like Seinfeld without Jerry Seinfeld?
“It doesn’t certainly mean the end of the show. I think it’s just a dynamic change to the show, which could be a good thing, actually. Add some new life and some new energy…I see it as a positive in general for the show,” Carell said.
So who will replace Michael Scott as the Regional Manager of Dunder Mifflin Infinity? Should they hire (or cast) someone new? Or promote within?
