Comedian Will Ferrell has been confirmed for a four episode guest appearance on NBC’s The Office.

Will Ferrell Is Most Overpaid Actor, And Proudly So

He’ll be playing a branch manager who arrives from the corporate home office. Naturally, the character will be causing plenty of trouble.

Paul Lieberstein, executive producer of the show, said:

“We found Steve Carell when he was nothing but a movie star and we turned him into a television star. We are proud to continue ‘The Office’s’ tradition of discovering famous talent, and we hope that once America gets a good look at Will, they’ll see what we see: tremendous raw sexuality.”

According to NBC, Ferrell’s character will be “just as inappropriate” as Michael Scott, the office manager played by Steve Carrell, who will be leaving the show at the end of the season.

Can Will PLEASE be the new Michael Scott?!? PLEASE?!?
