Curtain Call for a Sitcom Legend . . .

Cultural icon says goodbye tonight 

Tonight marks the end for Steve Carell's role as Michael Scott on the sitcom The Office.  In this the 7th season of the show, Michael Scott, leaves as Branch Manager of Dunder Mifflin.  I have been a huge Office fan since the beginning and numerous times, like nearly every episode, Michael Scott has made me laugh out loud.  Has anyone ever owned a role, like Carell has owned this one?  It would be hard to find anyone that has done it better.  So, it will be with great sadness, admiration, and gratitude that I watch the last Office episode with Michael Scott.  He has made my Thursday evenings very enjoyable for many years!!  - "That's what she said!"   I have copied a link of a YouTube video tribute to some of the funnier things Michael Scott said on the show - it is a few minutes long, but if you have the time, it will surely give you a few laughs.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmxgNa2C_Rs&safety_mode=true&persist_safety_mode=1
