The Office Gets Will Ferrell for Four Episodes

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Steve Carrel and Will Ferrell will join each other on screen again, this time on NBC’s sitcom The Office.

Ferrell will appear in four episodes, playing the role of an “inappropriate branch manager who arrives from the home office.” Sounds about right.

The timing is fortunate considering that Carrel said he’s going to leave The Office before the season finale, probably some time in April.
