Before taking on a role in the new The Office spinoff, Domhnall Gleeson sought advice from Steve Carell.
While appearing on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor who played Michael Scott in the NBC workplace comedy, revealed Gleeson reached out to him.
“I know Domhnall Gleeson, who I did The Patient with, is going to be one of the leads. I know that for sure,” Carell told the late-night show host. “He’s an excellent actor.”
He continued, “He actually called me and asked, you know, ‘Should I do this? Did you enjoy it?'” The actor added, “He’s great.”
Fallon brought up the subject of The Office asking Carell if he knew that a spinoff was in the works.
“Yeah, and I don’t know if you know this — it’s gonna be all the original cast. I’m in it!” Carell joked.
Fallon then said, “Don’t get people excited.”
The Office was a remake of the British show created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant. Carell played Michael Scott, a regional manager for the Dunder Mifflin paper company. The actor remained in the role through the first seven seasons. Carell returned for the Season 9 series finale episode, reuniting with his former co-stars.
Peacock recently picked up to series a new comedy set in The Office universe. The untitled Greg Daniels and Michael Koman sitcom stars Gleeson and The White Lotus Season 2 star Sabrina Impacciatore. Production for the new show is set to begin in July.
The streamer teased the show’s premise, saying, “The documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch is in search of a new subject when they discover a dying historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it with volunteer reporters.”

her defiant return to the spotlight at last week’s Trooping the Colour ceremony, according to a report.Middleton, 42, delighted fans on Saturday by joining the royal family for King Charles’ birthday celebrations on the Buckingham Palace balcony.Despite not having seen the Princess of Wales since news of her cancer diagnosis came to light, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reportedly extended an olive branch to the royal.“Both Harry and Meghan have been following Kate’s recovery with huge interest, but sadly it’s had to be more from afar because their lines of communication with the palace and the Waleses, in particular, are very limited, to say the least,” a source told Closer.“They have had enough information to know that people are excited about the idea of a comeback for Kate and they’re both relieved and happy to hear that she’s on the mend and may soon be well enough to return to her duties.”“They’ve jointly reached out to send well wishes, but they’re still not really in a place with Kate to warrant much of a response,” the insider said, adding that this “hasn’t stopped them from trying to connect.”“When Kate gets back into action, their hope is that it might take some of the heat off them and possibly trigger a truce with her and William, and with the King, too,” the source claimed.While Harry has been on home soil twice this year, he has not met up with his estranged brother Prince William and his wife.Instead, the Duke only saw his estranged father, King Charles, in February.
Editor’s Note: Journalist David Blum might have forever coined The Brat Pack era, but it was Carl Kurlander who provided the reason the infamous New York article got written. St. Elmo’s Fire was a script Kurlander wrote with director Joel Schumacher, inspired by events in his life. Now an academic, Kurlander has written several guest columns for Deadline including a 35th anniversary remembrance of St. Elmo’s Fire. Why is he tapping again into those memories? He just watched Brats, the Hulu documentary that premiered at Tribeca, directed by and starring Andrew McCarthy. He was part of the St. Elmo’s Fire ensemble that felt maligned by a mag article published the week before the film was released and became a surprise hit. Here, Kurlander supplies some great dish — did you know Demi Moore‘s drug demons almost forced Joel Schumacher to replace her with the young singer Madonna? Or that Georgetown shunned the movie for immoral activity but OK’d The Exorcist because despite the vile goings on involving a possessed child, evil didn’t win? A little of that stuff would have helped McCarthy’s docu, which gets tedious as he attempts to expunge demons, even as cohorts like Moore, Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy seem to be humoring him on camera. After all, that film launched fine futures for them, even if the moniker stung. McCarthy paints journo Blum as a villain, but in fairness, The Brat Pack was a far more clever coinage than putting “gate” on the end of every scandal since Watergate. Blum also unwittingly etched into permanent Hollywood history the memory of those actors when they were young and gorgeous. Who wants to be forgotten?

Hollywood’s Brat Pack.”Reading it today, David Blum’s article about hanging out with a group of movie stars with the world — and many women — at their feet as they hit Hollywood clubs and sow their wild oats seems tame and fun.But for McCarthy, now 61, the “Brat Pack” label ghettoized and diminished the actors, who were part of a talented new generation of young stars heating up the box office with movies like “St. Elmo’s Fire” — considered the pre-eminent Brat Pack film — “The Breakfast Club,” “Taps,” “The Outsiders,” “Pretty in Pink,” “About Last Night,” “Sixteen Candles” and others.“Oh f–k,” was McCarthy’s first reaction to seeing the cover story, as he reveals in “BRATS,” a new documentary he wrote, directed and stars in.“I just thought that was terrible instantly.
