Ricky Gervais To Appear On 'The Office'

[Travicity]

As Michael Scott counting the days until his retirement from Dunder-Mifflin, he will finally meet David Brent. TVLine's Michael Ausiello scoops that news the Ricky Gervais will finally make a guest appearance on NBC's The Office this season as David Brent. Gervais, of course, co-created the original Office series where he played Brent, the character that Steve Carell's Michael Scott was based on. Gervais previously wrote an episode of NBC's The Office and he is also executive producing the show. That's probably why he had some harsh words in introducing Office star/producer Carell, who is leaving the series at the end of the season, at Sunday's Golden Globes: "He is leaving, killing a cash cow for both of us - the ungrateful Steve Carell." Of course, Carell was not the only actor skewered by Gervais during his much talked about Globes hosting gig.
