As I believe I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog: I freakin’ love The Office. A lot. Like, more than a friend. And I’m not one of those “it used to be funny but not anymore” sort of people — I still am very much infatuated with Michael Scott and company.

For example, one time I got to chat with Rainn Wilson (Dwight Shrute) and it basically made my life.

And tonight, Mr. Will Ferrell is joining the cast, playing Michael’s replacement (Steve Carell is leaving the show at the end of this season). It doesn’t look like Ferrel will be around next season, but his character will indeed be featured on several episodes this spring. So yeah, check it out at 9pm tonight on NBC.
