Steve Carell Leaving “The Office” Early

PASADENA, Calif. (CBS/AP) Steve Carell will be leaving “The Office” earlier than expected.

Co-creator 부산출장안마 and executive producer Greg Daniels says Carell will be gone before the season-ending episodes in May. The final episodes of the season will focus on the scrambling to replace him at the Scranton branch of the mythical Dunder Mifflin paper company.

Executive producer Paul Lieberstein (who also plays Toby on the show) told New York magazine’s Vulture blog Friday that producers chose this route because it was important for them to make sure the second half of the season wasn’t all about Carell’s character, Michael Scott, leaving the show.

“It was about focusing the spring on the office and everybody else, and not just a character going,” he said. “If the show was ending, it would be about that. But it’s not.”

Carell had said previously that he was quitting the show to concentrate on his movie career. But NBC plans to press on without him.

The network said Friday that Carell will leave with four episodes left in the season. That means his farewell episode will most likely come in April.

The second thing that we all want to tell to the Congress, that they should ask and that what we expect, we expect them to ask this administration about the evidence that they have regarding the chemical story and the allegations that they presented,” Assad said. President Assad said he and the Syrian people are “disappointed” by President Obama’s behavior, and compared his foreign policy to that of former President George W. Bush. “We expected this administration [to be] different from Bush’s administration,” he said. However, “they are operating the same doctrine with different accessories. That’s it. We expect if…[this administration] to be strong to say that ‘We don’t have evidence, that we have to obey…the international law, that we have to go back to the security council at the United Nations.'” If he found himself face-to-face with President Obama, Assad told Rose, he would simply tell him:” “Present what you have as evidence to the public. Be transparent.” “He didn’t present because he doesn’t have have [it],” Assad said. “Kerry doesn’t have it.” Responding to Charlie Rose’s claims that evidence has been presented to Congress, including satellite footage and intercepted messages, Assad repeated several times, “nothing has been presented,” eventually adding that even if the U.S. did present seemingly credible evidence, he would doubt its veracity. “We have the precedent of Colin Powell ten years ago when he showed the evidence, it was false and it was forged,” Assad said. “You want me to believe American evidence and don’t believe the indication that we have? We live here.”
Harf declined to say from which region of the world the threat had emanated, saying only that “security considerations have led us to take this precautionary step, as we do from time to time.” The State Department will provide further details soon, Harf said. The security of American embassies and other diplomatic facilities has recently emerged as a political flashpoint in the wake of the September 11, 2012 attack on a U.S. facility in Benghazi, Libya, that claimed the lives of four Americans, including then-ambassador to Libya Chris Stevens. In the wake of that attack, Republicans accused the State Department of providing insufficient security for diplomatic personnel in Libya.
