Your prediction or do you have some inside dirt?

Honestly, I don't really even watch the show so no, it's not my prediction.

Every morning I get an entertainment industry email (since we're part of Disney) about executive movies, tv pilot possibilities, casting news, etc. So anyhow, email I got earlier this week said that James Spader is in final negotiations to return to The Office as the CEO of Dunder Mifflin. So I guess it's not official yet, but that's the latest scuttlebutt.

Sounds like he's taking Kathy Bates role, not Steve Carell's.

Right. That's the CEO role right?

Yeah...what I read says that the story will be he was hired as the manager and got himself promoted within hours and then took over as ceo a few days after that.

Who's Steve Carell and what office was he working for?

No, Carell was just a branch manager. Bates was the CEO.

That's what I meant. Maybe I didn't phrase it right. When I wrote a few weeks back that Spader was joining The Office as CEO, I meant he was replacing Bates, not Carrell.
