Steve Carell is leaving ‘The Office’ before the end of the year and the show’s producers are looking for ways to keep interest in the series. They’ve found one potential hit with a four-episode arc later this season with Will Ferrell.
Ferrell will play a branch manager who turns out to be as inept as Carell.
Carell and Ferrell will share screen time for three of the four episodes. Carell will then depart, leaving Ferrell solo for one episode.
