The office chatter around the water cooler has been pretty unsettling lately with the news that Dunder Mifflin's Michael Scott will be leaving the paper supply business for good. Actor Steve Carell confirmed that he will be leaving the hit NBC series after the conclusion of its seventh season and while fans may be mourning the departure of the "world's best boss," his overseas counterpart Ricky Gervais offered a warm sendoff.
Gervais wrote on his blog that Carell's departure was "of course inevitable (and sad), but I wish him all the luck in the world. It was expected of me, as executive producer, to persuade him to stay on. With syndication in full swing the more successful the show remains, the more billions we all make. It was tempting, but the truth is, I believe he is doing the right thing."
And so, Carell will undoubtedly make hundreds of other uncomfortable jokes for his employees during his last season and hand the keys of the office to a new regional manager. The only question now is - who might that be? In a recent New York Times article, the answer could be right in front of our noses: "An ideal replacement for Mr. Carell on The Office could be Mr. Gervais himself." To avoid missing his next live stand-up routines, go online and purchase your own pair of Ricky Gervais tickets as soon as possible.
While speculation may run rampant about Gervais taking over the role from Steve Carell, the British comedian certainly has his hands full these days. Most recently he has been cast in the next season of Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he will play himself. Although details are scant at the moment, it is guaranteed that Gervais will bring an extra level of hilarity to the long-running HBO comedy. Gervais also fills his time with his own animated series featured on HBO called The Ricky Gervais Show.
Ricky Gervais found himself in the comedic spotlight after his television series The Office and the follow-up Extras became smash hits on British television. The Office went on to be remade for audiences around the world, while Gervais serves as producer for the U.S. version. Extras became popular upon its premiere in 2005 and featured a variety of top name talent with an impressive list of guest stars like Orlando Bloom, Robert De Niro, Kate Winslet, Samuel L. Jackson and Ben Stiller. Gervais's latest project, The Ricky Gervais Show, debuted on HBO in early 2010 and has become a huge success.
In addition to television, Gervais also does quite a bit of stand-up comedy and has appeared in several films including For Your Consideration, Ghost Town, The Invention of Lying and Cemetery Junction. One thing seems to be certain: Gervais has his hands in several projects at once and there's no telling what T.V. show, movie or live act he might pursue next. Whatever it is, you can be certain that you will experience several fits of uncontrollable giggles when you get Ricky Gervais tickets online.
