Steve Carell leaving The Office in 2011 wasn’t only devastating for comedy fans, as star Rainn Wilson has admitted that the Michael Scott star’s departure brought up a lot of difficulties in continuing the series.
"When Steve left, then it was a little bit chaotic of trying to figure out the tone of the show and who’s the lead and, how are we telling these stories without, you know, the comic engine of the show, which is Michael Scott, and without one of the greatest comic actors in American history at the center of our show. That was also a struggle," said Wilson on the Good Guys podcast.
