Will Ferrell and Steve Carell present the Achievement in Make-up award on stage during the Academy Awards in 2006. This spring, Ferrell will visit Carell's show, The Office.
As I mentioned in this morning's news roundup, we learned yesterday that Will Ferrell is scheduled for a multiple-episode arc later in this season of The Office.

My heart sank at this news — and I basically like Will Ferrell.

A little background: This is Steve Carell's last season on The Office as Michael Scott, a character who has been up, down, battered, noble, lonely and in love over the seven seasons of the show's run. It's going to be very difficult for it to carry on without him, but the producers are determined to try, and I'm still hoping Darryl (Craig Robinson) will be put in charge."
