Will Ferrell to replace Steve Carell in The Office

Will Ferrell joins “The Office” after Steve Carell leaves
Now, I know the article is pretty clear in saying that he’s only going to be on for 4 episodes, and they’ll replace him afterwards. Admittedly, I didn’t know this is what they had intended when I saw the teaser last night after the end of the show. I thought he was IT. It actually made me go into a slow-clap for the NBC execs. And now I find out it’s temporary… ok, so maybe I shouldn’t lose my place in the funeral line just yet. Let’s see who they get to take over next season.
Wouldn’t it be sweet if it was Will Ferrell for real, though? Other actors have been able to move onto successful film roles while keeping their jobs at The Office, so maybe Will will manage to juggle his busy schedule and stick around? For us, the fans? Ah, a girl can dream.

No! Will Ferrell’s humor just doesn’t jive with the typical office humor. The replacement has to have dry humor that works with the rest of the deliver, Will really doesn’t. It either comes across as being mean or too stupid to endure watching. Tim Allen to replace Carell all the way.

you know what, Jeff? You might have a point. He’s kind of getting on my nerves already…
