Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett in ‘The Office’ finale

The season finale of The Office is shaping up to be the highlight of this year’s network television season.

It has been confirmed that Ricky Gervais and Will Arnett will appear in the finale. Gervais appeared as David Brent in late January in a scene with Steve Carell’s Michael Scott, making this his second appearance on the show. What exactly they will be doing or the extent of their roles is anyone’s guess as the episode is being written (and will air on May 19).

Carell’s last episode is set to air in late April with fans and critics alike wondering if the show will maintain it’s unique charm without the central character. Carrell’s departure has attracted a number of high-profile names to the show, including Will Ferrell who will be appearing in a multi-episode arc.

It leaves you wondering- who will replace Michael Scott? Ferrell? Arnett? Gervais? My guess is it will be someone we have no idea about yet. This is one secret NBC is keeping close to it’s chest.
