Steve Carell Returned to 'The Office!!!'....Or Did He???

[Brian Damage]

He's baaack...or is he?

Viewers of The Office did double takes last week (thank god for TiVo) when, during the trivia game-themed episode, the camera briefly zoomed in on one particular member of the opposing team—and couldn't help but notice, beneath the suspiciously hirsute beard, out-of-control eyebrows and slicked-back hair, an uncanny resemblance between the glorified extra and one Michael Scott.

Sneaky, sneaky. But was that really Steve Carell?

Well, no one's saying for sure, but the fans have certainly seemed to make up their mind about the is-it-or-isn't-it cameo.

NBC had no comment on the possible drop-in and the cast (at least those of them on Twitter) have also failed to spill the beans.

But come on, would the producers really have cast someone as eerily reminiscent of their dearly departed star by accident? Or is this just wishful thinking on the part of the audience?

Yeah it was him but you would have never been able to tell by watching the episode for the first time because he didn't have a speaking part and was sitting around a bunch of guys who had nothing to do with the storyline.

Steve Carell is denying the reports, but it seems cool to do that.

No it would have been impossible to notice him watching the episode for the first time. I went to another Office Board and they were talking about it on there.

Sadly, That Was Not a Steve Carell Cameo in 'Trivia'
By Rick Porter
January 18, 2012


It sounded almost too good to be true: Steve Carell, who left "The Office" last year, may have sneaked his way into last week's episode virtually unnoticed.

Some fans of the show noticed that a hirsute gentleman in the Jan. 12 episode, 'Trivia', looked rather like Carell wearing a big fake beard.

The New York Post and others then picked up on the idea.





Alas, like lots of things that seem too good to be true, this wasn't.

A rep for "The Office" confirms to Zap2it that the man is not Carell. Whoever it is does, however, bear more than a passing likeness to him.





If (or when) "The Office" decides the time is right for Carell to make a return appearance, we kind of like the idea of an unannounced cameo. That probably wouldn't happen -- there's no way NBC lets such an easy promotional opportunity go by -- but it would be rather fun.
