TV Reminder: Steve Carell departs ‘The Office’ tonight

News, Television, Video, , , , , ,

Oh, I can already feel the tears swelling up. Tonight’s episode of The Office is called “Goodbye, Michael” and it will be the final episode starring the brilliantly talented Steve Carell.

The Office boss is going out with a bang, thankfully. The super-sized episode is extended from a half hour to fifty minutes in length; it will air from 9PM to 9:50PM, followed by a beefier episode of Parks and Rec (9:50PM-10:30PM) to soften the blow.

Don’t miss Michael Scott’s swan song tonight (4/28) at 9PM on NBC. The Office will attempt to forge on without him; two more episode will follow, then the season seven finale airs May 19. Perhaps this impressive slate of upcoming special guests will have you excited for the final three episodes. Will Ferrell, Ricky Gervais, Ray Romano, James Spader, Catherine Tate, Will Arnett, and Jim Carrey will all be vying for Michael Scott’s managerial position at Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch!

Ready for the lastest Glee news?  Well here we go…

Madonna has given Glee the rights to her entire catelog of songs and a Madonna-centric episode is slated to air later this year.  Ryan Murphy (co-creator) plans on approaching American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert to guest star in a future episode.  (Come January Glee will be paired with American Idol on Wednesday nights, so this makes perfect sense.)

Upcoming episodes will include performances set to Tina Turner’s “Proud Mary, ” Van Halen’s “Jump,” John Lennon’s “Imagine” (which the glee club performs with a rival deaf choir (Ryan Murphy: “Everyone who sees it sheds a tear.”)), Paul Anka’s “You’re Having My Baby,” and Barbara Streisand’s “Don’t Rain on My Parade.”

On integrating Springsteen songs into the show Ryan Murphy has said: “I think Bruce is our next holy grail.”  “My musical tastes begin and end with him basically” said Brad Falchuk (co-creator).

Glee returns with all new episodes November 11 at 9PM on FOX.
