People who say that Jim, Pam, Dwight, and every other character from The Office were the soul of the show, can go to hell (in a passive-aggressive way because we don’t wanna be Andy).

Yes, we’re talking about the lovely, amiable (albeit awkward) regional manager of Dunder Mifflin Scranton, Michael Scott. Believe it or not, but Steve Carell’s cringe comedy with relatability was indeed the crucial element to the show’s success. And once The Office tried replacing Carell with guest stars, the show turned into a failure, much like Ricky Gervais had predicted.
