Carell gives 'Office' notice

"And will you stay after that?" he was asked.
"I don't think so," Carell replied. "I think that will probably be my last year."
Carell originated the role of Michael Scott, the bumbling, overbearing office boss at a Scranton, Pa. paper mill.
The series was based on the hit British series of the same name.
Credit for creating a stand-alone, Americanized version of the comedy went in large part to Carell, who was able to create a new character rather than ape Ricky Gervais' leading role in the original.
In fact, the US version has lasted on TV much longer (six seasons) than the British original (just two seasons and a holiday special).
