When this season wraps, the world’s best boss, Michael Scott, will be leaving the Dunder Mifflin office one last time. Steve Carell officially announced last month that he will not be renewing his contract and will be leaving NBC’s “The Office” at the end of this season, the show’s seventh.

The news stunned some fans — who else can make burning his foot on a George Foreman Grill hilariously endearing? What other boss takes his employees for a nice lunch at Hooters? For others, Carell’s departure isn’t too surprising, with some questioning whether the show’s appeal is dwindling.
