Wishful Thinking
A petition is now circulating the ‘net calling for the reunion of Steve Carrell and Stephen Colbert. If you want to check out the whole petition and/or sign it, click here!
Dear Greg Daniels and the Producers of The Office,
As dedicated fans of The Office, we all spend time (especially in those sad summer months!) speculating about our favorite characters and their relations, as well as the perfect actors to play them. Who would Michael’s mother be? Who’s Larissa Halpert? But among fans, one idea seems to crop up far more than any other: Stephen Colbert as Gould, Jan’s chilly ex-husband.
Here’s a picture from the segment “Even Stephven” from The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Personally, I love that “The Office” doesn’t rely on guest casting and rarely uses it (though “The Client” with Tim Meadows was amazing) and of course, this is just a petition started by a creative fan 
But I think it’s a fun way to show your support for “The Office” and connect with other fans. That said, I would love to see Steven/Stephen go head to head again!

I signed the petition, not because I think it will happen, but because I like that “Office” fans are pushing boundaries with the internet. It IS a good casting idea, though.

I would LOVE to see this. Also I thought it would be great if John Stewart was the CEO of Dunder Mifflin or if they got him to be the new Temp. Either way!
Love it! Only 3 months till new office!
