Ricky Gervais to guest star on the U.S. version of "The Office"

Los Angeles, CA, United States (CNS) – Just as everyone is just about done talking about Ricky Gervais and his Golden Globes celebrity tongue lashing, he’s going to be back on NBC for a very cool cameo on “The Office.”

That’s right. The UK’s “Office” David Brent, a role originated by Gervais, and Steve Carell’s Michael Scott are going to meet before Scott makes his final departure from Dunder-Mifflin.

According to Vulture, Gervais shot a secret cameo for an upcoming episode, scheduled to air on January 27th.

“It’s a little more than if you blink, you’ll miss it, but if you don’t set your TiVo right, you’ll miss it,” “Office” show-runner Paul Lieberstein said.

But while you’d think it was just shot recently during his preparations for the Golden Globes, the cameo was shot all the way back in September of last year and it’s been kept a secret since then. In fact, NBC didn’t know about it for a while.

But it was something they had wanted to do to commemorate Carell’s last year on the hit Thursday night comedy.

“Ricky had wanted to do something [with the U.S. "Office"] and it felt like we shouldn’t go the whole series without them connecting,” Lieberstein said.

NBC’s Thursday night comedy schedule expands to three full hours beginning January 20th when, along with a new episode of “The Office,” “30 Rock,” “Parks & Recreation,” “Community,” “Outsourced,” and “Perfect Couples” premiere new episodes as well.

Michael Scott, exit stage right.

Steve Carell is officially no longer an employee of Dunder Mifflin after completing his last day of shooting on "The Office," the sitcom he starred in for seven legendary seasons. Co-star (and show sidekick) Rainn Wilson broke the news to the world when he tweeted, "Steve Carell's last day on 'The Office.' And the angels of comedy wept... #saddest day ever."

Carell announced in June that he would be leaving the series, and since July, when the the series' producers said that that the show would go on, the public has wondered since who will replace his awkward but lovable Michael Scott as boss.

Carell is actually leaving the series with a few episodes to go in the season, to better break in the new boss, though the public still doesn't know who it will be. Carell's friend Will Ferrell will make a four episode guest appearance through the end of the season, though, unfortunately, he won't be the permanent replacement.

Series executive producer Ricky Gervais, who created the original "The Office" show in England, has suggested that star Will Arnett should join the show, though he never directly said as Carell's replacement.

The proposal was so good! I was perfect for Michael/Holly. I couldn't stop smiling when Michael started the "This is where...." and then the Yoda voices at the end. And I loved that the entire cast was included in the lead up to the proposal. What an amazing and romantic moment - one of the best proposals I've ever seen.

Also loved the Dallas game - "That's Dallas!" :lol:

Jim/Dwight and the magic beans was another rivalry classic. :lol:
