Thanks Liz.

We can edit the title when we get another piece of news.

You're welcome, Mel

Hmm. How about something about the show receiving the Future Classic Award at the TV Land Awards? Oooh, or we can wait until July for the Emmy nominations.

**Firestar007** · 06-13-2008, 09:27 PM

Steph- like that for a thread title, I wouldn't mind it but we can also wait to see about the Emmy nominations.

What do you guys think?

**Enigma** · 06-13-2008, 09:40 PM

Might as well put that in now if you want Liz since it's still awhile before we hear the Emmy nominations.

**Enigma** · 06-18-2008, 08:23 AM

Steve Carell Re-Ups for Three More Seasons of “The Office”
25-Jun-2008
Written by: E. Van Dril

A spin-off of the American version of The Office is also in the works.

Steve Carell will stick around The Office and play Michael Scott for at least three more years, according to series cocreator, executive producer and star of the original version of The Office, Ricky Gervais.

The British comic said on his Web site that Carell has officially renewed his contract for the popular NBC comedy.

“Had some great news today about the American version of The Office,” he wrote. “Steve Carell (now one of the most bankable film stars in the world) has just signed up for another three years with us.

“He is the hardest working man in Hollywood and the harder he works the better it is for me. I mean . . . well done Steve you are wonderful. . . . He is a very nice man and deserves all his success. I am just as dedicated to my art without compromise but only between the hours of 9 and 3 p.m.”

With the renewal of Carell’s contract, The Office figures to stick around for a while, and if you can’t get enough of the show, rumor has it that Rashida Jones (who played Karen) will be heading the show’s spin-off, but that has yet to be confirmed.

“We are also working on a spin-off series of the American Office,” Gervais wrote, “but I can’t tell you anything about that yet.”

I agree with that. I think that is the best part of the announcement. Three more years of the Office, at least, I'm super excited!
