“The Office” may need to find a new boss.
Steve Carell, who plays inept paper honcho Michael Scott on the hit U.S. series, told BBC radio he is likely through with the role after next season, IGN reported Wednesday.
“How long does your contract run?” asked the interviewer. “Contract through next season,” Carell answered.
“And will you stay after that?” the interviewer followed up.
“I don’t think so,” Carell said. “That will probably be my last year.”
NBC has yet to comment on the statement. Carell took home a Golden Globe award for best performance by an actor in a television series, musical or comedy, in 2006 and has been nominated in every subsequent year.
