Despite declarations from NBC, Office producers and Steve Carell himself that the NBC comedy’s May 16 series finale would be Scott-free, increasing buzz suggests the Dunder Mifflin legend may turn up after all.
Insiders tell TVLine that producers mounted an 11th hour effort last month to coax Carell into making a cameo in the show’s hour-long swan song. And while no one is confirming that the final diplomatic push proved successful, no one is denying it either.
Well, no one save for Carell’s personal rep, who tells TVLine that while his client was on set for the final episode, he did not, in fact, shoot any scenes.
On the flipside, a source close to the show cryptically teases, “Don’t rule anything out.” An NBC spokesperson, meanwhile, declined to comment.

I'd be incredibly surprised if he didn't appear in the finale. Steve built this show. I don't expect anything more than a 5-10 second cutaway though. Just a very very quick update on his life.
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking there'd be a surprise appearance for months now.
ReplyDeleteI think Steve will oblige in someway to give fans an update on "how Michael is doing".
ReplyDeleteI've been hoping Steve Carrell was denying vigorously that he'd not show up in the finale only to provide a secret cameo that makes it all the more special.
ReplyDeleteyes that's been my thinking for some time too. A quick update. maybe even just a skype call like they've done with other characters before.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I've been thinking was going to happen, especially after he kept repeatedly denying it.
ReplyDeleteI can picture him doing a very, very quick cutaway cameo. Maybe with him, Holly, and a baby? That would be fitting.
