Rumor: Will Ferell to join 'The Office'

[Dpantherman]

EXCLUSIVE: Will Ferrell has committed to a four-episode arc on NBC's comedy The Office. He will play a branch manager who comes from the home office and is just as inappropriate as Steve Carell's Michael Scott character. NBC is still figuring out exactly when the episodes will air, but Ferrell has committed to one episode beyond Carell’s finale, to help create a bridge.

This seems like a terrible idea.

I think it'll be funny as Hell with Ferrell on it. He hasn't been lighting it up with his movies of late, maybe he can do some good on a TV series.

Yeah, it makes sense. With him doing the awards show, and getting all that PR, watch him take over for Michael next season.

I am sorry but the Office without Micheal Scott will not be the same show.

Secondly, the Office has been for the most part AWEFUL the past couple seasons! *Thanks Jim and Pam and that fukcing baby!*

Thirdishly, Will F. has not played a funny main character since Step Brothers in 2008.

So my conclusion is that The Office, which has not been great in recent years, is loosing the backbone of its being (M Scott), and replacing it with someone who has also been not funny in recent history (Will F)....
