Talking on Piers Morgan’s new chat show, Digital Spy writes that the exec producer said: ‘[The show] can survive. Whether it should or not, I don’t know.’
The Golden Globes host also supported Carell’s decision to leave: ‘As a producer, I was expected to try and stop him because he is a big part of it. [But] I sent him an e-mail saying, ‘I think you are doing the right thing.’’
Earlier this week it was also revealed that Gervais will reprise his role as David Brent to make a cameo appearance on The Office next week in the States.
He told Morgan: ‘I bump into Steve Carell, it’s a little thing,’ and on his blog he wrote: ‘Blink and you’ll miss it,’ adding that it was ‘a pleasure to work with the great man [Carell].’
Season 5 of The Office continues in February on Comedy Central.
