Steve Carell has confirmed that he will be leaving The Office at the end of next season, and – get this – he seems to think that no one will care!

Perez Hilton reports that when asked about all the attention he’s received over leaving, he replied, “I didn’t see it as a huge thing and I certainly didn’t anticipate any sort of hubbub over it… They’ve incorporated so many new characters and so many new, great storylines that I have no doubt it’ll continue as strong if not stronger than ever.”
The rest of The Office cast is really great, but NBC certainly has their work cut out for them if they decide to look for Michael Scott’s replacement.
