Less than one week removed from the news that Steve Carell will be leaving NBC’s The Office prior to the end of its seventh season, some news regarding an upcoming cameo on the show has leaked. If you would like to know more about the special appearance, hit the jump.
Inside TV has confirmed that Ricky Gervais will reprise his role of David Brent (a.k.a. the original Michael Scott) for the show’s January 27th episode. Per the report, Brent will run into his American counterpart, Michael Scott, in what is described as a “small cameo.”
Naturally, the scene was shot months ago with those involved hoping to keep the appearance under wraps. Unfortunately, the Internet (of which, I’m a guilty party) has no appreciation for surprises and TV Line scooped the cameo earlier today. For those unaware, Gervais co-created the original UK version of The Office and remains an executive producer on the American series as well.

This is cool … though now that Gervais has lost a lot of weight, I wonder if they’ll need to pad him back up to be David Brent again. I can’t imagine a skinny David Brent, just doesn’t seem right.
That said, if it was shot 6 months ago, maybe that was pre-weight loss so that question would be moot.
^^^^ do you mean mute??
No, Brian means “moot”.
Mute means unable to speak and is very commonly misused for the correct word, “moot” refers to an obsolete idea or concept.
Feel free to look it up in the dictionary.
