Exclusive: NBC Planning Major Office Expansion!

If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, NBC may be about to pay a major compliment to
Grey's Anatomy. Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that the Peacock is developing an episode of
The Office that would introduce several new characters who would then be spun off into a new series à la
Private Practice.
However, unlike
Practice, which stole
Grey's regular Kate Walsh to anchor the new series, the proposed
Office 2 is not expected to include any of the mother ship's core cast. In fact, producers are already casting about for a "name" to headline the potential show.
So, your thoughts on whom the star should be? A downsized Jim Carrey? The underrated Ed "Al Bundy" O'Neill, past due for a comeback? Mike Myers, set loose weekly in a blue-collar playground? And should NBC really go through with this plan, or is one
Office a week enough? Sound off below! And then vote in our
poll!
