NBC has finally acknowledged a hard truth: Steve Carell is leaving The Office after next season. Here’s what NBC Primetime Entetainment President Angela Bromstad told the AP: “We’ve been lucky to have had him as long as we’ve had,” she says. “These things happen when you have such a major movie star in a show.”
Despite the departure of a high profile star, NBC is confident the high-rated series can continue on without Carell:”Not to diminish the departure of Steve, because that will impact the show, but we have tremendous faith in the writers and actors to keep it alive.”
