Jim Carrey is the latest in a string of stars to join the cast of The Office for the hour long season finale on May 19. As reported by Entertainment Weekly, Carrey will guest star as someone interviewing for the position left vacant by Michael Scott (Steve Carell). He joins Ricky Gervais, Will Arnet, James Spader, Ray Romano and Catherine Tate who will also be interviewed for Michael Scott’s position.
Regardless of who the replacement will be, John Krasinski, who stars in The Office, told HitFlix that Steve Carrell’s departure actually creates a brand new show;
“The show sans-Steve it’s a whole new show so we’re actually really excited. The last two episodes this year are without Steve and without Will and they were awesome. They were really, really fun and as much as we will miss Steve for sure it’s kind of great to pick up this show in a whole different way. It’s really fun.”
It was previously reported that Will Ferrell will take over the big role, but he will no longer appear in the season finale.
