Steve Carell Makes A Personal Goodbye Video to "The Office," Fans!

I made a failed attempt Thursday night to hold back my tears as Michael Scott made his last appearance on "The Office." After Thursday's episode, the greatest boss on television has thrown away the "World's Best Boss," mug (replacing it with a personal "World's Best Boss 2011," trophy from the Dunder Mifflin Staff) and packed his bags to be with his soulmate, Holly, in Colorado.

Those who've been a faithful "The Office," viewer have grown a love for it so pure, you practically consider yourself a Dunder Mifflin employee. We've watched Michael change from a bit of a selfish and at times pompous asshole to an absolute sweetheart. We've seen him go from what he THOUGHT was love (Jan) to what he KNEW was love (Holly). We've seen him fail as a friend but triumph just as quickly in many situations. We've seen him scheme to get his way and then do the right thing. We've seen him make a fool of himself and we've seen him step up to be a truly great person. We've seen him bring people down but we've seen him pick them back up. We've practically sat in that conference room and laughed, rolled our eyes, gasped aloud, and shook our head to the conversations brought up in there.

Michael Scott is many things. But we cannot deny how great of a man he is.

I'm talking as if someone has passed away or has moved, but see? That's just it. Michael Scott might be a fictional character, but the way Steve Carell has brought him to life, you can swear that you've worked for him, and that your heart pounded with happiness while you held that candle to aid Michael in that grand proposal he made to Holly. You also felt your heart shatter when just a minute later, he told us all he was leaving.

Tonight was so difficult, knowing that this wonderful show will continue without the person who brought it to what it is.



Here is a video of Steve Carell, the man who touched our hearts, giving us Dunder Mifflin employees his own farewell.


Michael Scott Is The Biggest Boss
That We've Seen Thus Far.

I love you. You will be greatly missed.

Jim Carrey To Guest Star On "The Office"?!


EEEEEEK! Oh my goodness, I can't believe this. I'm pulling at my hair and flattening my cheeks right now.

Who's next: Tom Cruise? Late Thursday it was revealed that Jim Carrey would make a guest appearance on the season finale of The Office. For those keeping score at home, Carrey is the sixth star to sign on for a cameo appearance, joining Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett, James Spader, Ray Romano and the little-known Catherine Tate.

No word yet on exactly who Carrey will play, but assume he'll be vying for the vacant position of branch manager in the wake of Michael Scott's (Steve Carell) exit. Which begs the question: What will happen to Will Ferrell. His Deangelo Vickers is being groomed to take over for Michael, and while we all know that won't actually happen, it does make you wonder how The Office will get out of that Ferrell-size pickle.


I mean, they are doing anything BUT making Michael Scott's exit small and quick. Seriously? Jim Carrey, Will Ferrell, Ray Romano, Catherine Tate, James Spader and Ricky Gervais (yes, there are more names added!). UGH! This is too much! Too much but too good!

HOW EXCITED ARE YOU?!

"The Office's" Michael Scott: How He Would Exit Show


Are you unofficial Dunder Mifflin employees ready to see the departure of TV's greatest boss, Michael Scott? Well, I know I'm not. The last new episode they premiered, in which Michael proposed to Holly and also in which now they are moving away together, had me all bent. ALL BENT. The look on the faces of the Dunder Mifflin crew, i tell you . . . I felt their pain man.

So starting tonight with a brand new episode, follows Michael's departure with Will Ferrell making a guest appearance as one of the candiddates to take Michael's spot. PSYCHED AS HELL OVER HERE.

But here is some piece of information on how the Executive Producer, who plays Toby (GO FIGURE!) wanted to make Michael Scott's exit.

We initially, a year ago, had a plan of very quietly exiting Michael Scott. And then after he announced, it became very clear that nobody was going to allow us to quietly exit Michael Scott and Steve Carell. It was a big story people wanted to talk about. At that point, we decided to play out on air what happens in an office when someone leaves, the growing pains and adjustments that come with management changes. It's something a lot of people have experienced, and we search all the time for the relatable office stories. So it felt like we had a good, relatable story line that was worthy of an arc.

With names popping up such as Will Ferrell, James Spader, Will Arnett, and Ray Romano, I can only imagine who will take Michael's place. But one thing is for sure:

Dunder Mifflin isn't Dunder Mifflin without Michael Scott.
