Steve Carell May Be Leaving THE OFFICE Even Earlier!
As you are aware Steve Carrell will leave The Office after this season. It is being reported that he may be leaving earlier, possibly a month before the May finale.
Executive producer, Paul Lieberstein (Toby) had the following to say about the departure:
“Steve will have a number of episodes that dramatize and lead up to Steve leaving. Then we’ll continue on for about four more episodes, and the spring will prove to be not about an actor leaving, but what happens in an office when a manager leaves and the chaos ensues and people vie for the job and are uncertain about their future.”
“It was about focusing the spring on the office and everybody else, and not just a character going. If the show was ending, it would be about that. But it’s not.”
The Office returns with new episodes on Thursday, January 20 at 9 PM ET on NBC. I would be happy with Robinson or Helms taking over, what about you?
