It’s official: "The Office‘s" rapidly approaching series finale will not feature an appearance by former boss Michael Scott.

Steve Carell has confirmed that he turned down an offer to reprise his signature role one last time.



“I just didn’t think it was right for the character, because that character had had an arc within the story and kind of grew and sort of evolved past the idea of the documentary,” he told Access Hollywood.

“I’m really good friends with everybody on the cast and with [executive producer] Greg Daniels and I want to go back to say, ‘Hi,’ certainly, before it all ends. but I just thought, in terms of the character, it didn’t make sense.”

Steve Carell made The Office so funny for seasons 1-7. But since he's left the show, seasons 8 and 9 totally SUCK. He's too good for what the show has become. He left on a high note, and he did it right. It is true that it wouldn't make sense for Michael Scott to appear in the season finale.

I disagree. I think he should have done the finale just out of respect for what this show did to his career.

Steve Carrell, he is a IDIOT. He can't come back for last time to close out the series?

Yeah, but the show totally sucks now. I guess he doesn't want to be a part of it. I understand how some fans can be pissed at him though.

Nice way to phrase your disagreement. Classy.

That idiot could have came back for 1 episode. Wasn't like he was being asked to return to the show for another season
