That's What She Said
Will "The Office" ever be the same? As Michael Scott/Steve Carell said his final "that's what she said" at the end of the show Thursday night, I nearly had to hold back tears. It might be kind of weird to say that this show has had a crazy impact on me, but it really has. I've watched every episode from every season several times, and now that Steve has left the show I have no idea what to do. His character, his comedy and his great improv proved him to be "The World's Best Boss." Carell played one of the most influential characters in entertainment history, so how do you replace him? You don't! You can't! Who should take his role? I believe an inside hire would be the best possible situation and throw one of those big actors in a smaller part. The Office can still be a hit show if they emphasize the smaller characters like the "Kevins" or "Creeds." Steve is irreplaceable and if the show focuses on the replacement too much, the show will be done next season. Shep
