 *Spoiler alert*
Now that 'The Office's' Michael Scott (Steve Carrel) and Holly Flax (Amy Ryan) are engaged and moving to Colorado, the search is on for a new boss. Filling in for the rest of this season is Will Ferrell, who will be a hoot I'm sure.

My suggestion to NBC is to have a revolving-door boss, similar to the device used in 'Murphy Brown' where she had a new secretary every week. Remember the episode when JFK Jr. filled in, classic episode *sigh*. I think having a new boss every week on 'The Office' would breathe some life into the show, which will be going into its 8th season.

NBC is on the right track by using Will Ferrell in the interim, he is well-known, well-liked and a skilled comedian. It may be funnier still to have well-known actors take a turn on a per episode basis. My suggestions below (in alpha order), costs and copyright may prevent them from playing the characters that originated on other shows, but would be funny:

• George Clooney (as himself or Michael Clayton)
• Bradley Cooper (as the character he played in 'Wedding Crashers' or 'The Hangover')
• Ted Danson (as the character he plays in 'Bored to Death' or as Sam Malone)
• Jon Hamm as Don Draper
• Brad Pitt (as himself or the character he played on 'Friends')
• Michael Sheen (as the character he played on '30 Rock')
• Kevin Spacey (as himself)
• Zack Galifianakis (as himself or any of the characters he has played)
• Sandra Bullock (as the character she played in 'The Proposal')
• Carol Burnett (as herself or any of the characters she has played)
• Sally Field
• Randee Heller (as a combination of the character she played on 'Mad Men' Mrs. Blankenship and Mrs. Doubtfire)
• Mary Steenburgen
• Debra Winger
