James Spader: Coming to The Office!
by Hilton Hater at .The Office has found its man. Sort of.
Having killed on the season seven finale as cocky branch manager candidate Robert California, Emmy winner James Spader has been announced as a new regular on that NBC sitcom.
However, producer Paul Lieberstein says Spader will not have the job once held by Steve Carell's Michael Scott. Instead, he'll sky-rocket up to CEO of Dunder Mifflin's parent company.
Describing California as a "high-class weirdo Jedi warrior," Lieberstein said in a statement that "he’ll have been hired over the summer as the new manager, but within hours, got himself promoted."
As a result, the task of replacing Scott in the office itself will fall to Dwight, Jim or Andy.

Without the irreplaceable lead superstar Steve Carell, there was a small doubt that the new Season 8 would somehow not deliver; should not deliver, why should it deliver!!…….and could not deliver. However, such is the strength of the cast now, I really liked the first episode and it made me do what I like to do with The Office – hideously laugh. People laugh because these actors connect and connect well. I recommend this connection to comedy yet again. Best Wishes, DINESH R MAKWANA (DREAMWORDS AND INORBITS)
