Will Ferrell Replaces Steve Carrell In "The Office"???

I'm sure lots of  "Office" fans were none too pleased to hear that the star of the popular sitcom, Steve Carrell, would be exiting the show after this season. But fear not...the crew brilliantly enlisted comedian Will Ferrell to give him a proper send-off...EPIC (and smart)!

Steve Carell will get a proper send-off from The Officel ater this season, sharing his final three episodes with his Anchorman costar Will Ferrell. Ferrell, 43, will join the NBC sitcom for a guest role in which he plays a branch manager who arrives from the home office and proves just as inept as Carell's Michael Scott, Deadline.com reports. "We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star, and we turned him into a television star," executive producer Paul Lieberstein says. "We are proud to continue The Office's tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they'll see what we see: tremendous raw sexuality." After seven seasons as the show's dunderheaded boss, Carell, 48, is leaving four episodes before this season's finale. Ferrell's guest role will include Carell's last three episodes, plus one more after his departure. Ferrell reportedly called the producers and offered his services because he's a fan and wanted to give Carell a proper farewell.

But the question remains...will Ferrell replace him permanently? I'm guessing fans would like this!
