Will Ferrell Teases That Office Gig Will Be "Full-Time"

We say “teases” because we really can’t be sure if he’s being serious or not about this.
Following last week’s epically-romantic episode of The Office, a promo ran claiming a new boss for Dunder Mifflin had been found – Will Ferrell.
People were skeptical, especially when there are serious rumors stating that he actually won’t be the new boss and confirmed intel insisting that he’s only signed on for a four-episode stint. However, adding to the mystery was Will’s comments to a reporter last night at the first ever Comedy Awards that his Office gig was slated to become “full-time.” In explaining his character, he said:

“Yes, I├óΓé¼Γäóm taking over. My character├óΓé¼Γäós name is Deangelo Vickers, he loves the American Southwest, and he├óΓé¼Γäós just kind of in his own way going to step into Michael Scott├óΓé¼Γäós shoes and try to fill them. I├óΓé¼Γäóm friends with Steve and a fan of the show, and I just selfishly wanted to do one episode with him, and they pitched multiple ones, and I said, ├óΓé¼╦£That├óΓé¼Γäód be great.├óΓé¼Γäó├óΓé¼┬¥

Then, when pressed further on the longevity of the role, Will told the source it has turned into a “regular, full-time gig.├óΓé¼┬¥
Joke? Fact? Honesty? Lies? We just don’t know!!!
These guys are being very crafty about this whole new boss thing and we wouldn’t be a the least bit surprised if Will was 100% lying to the reporter about this.
Still…perhaps he’s not! Damn you and your mind games!!!
