Steve Carell may not be part of the highly anticipated spinoff of “The Office,” but the actor does have some words of wisdom for the show’s leading man, Domhnall Gleeson.
While appearing on TODAY on June 10, Carell revealed that Gleeson consulted him while deciding if he should pursue the project.
“He called me up and (asked), ‘Well, should I do this?’ And I said, ‘Yeah, I mean it’s Greg Daniels. You’ll have a ball,’” he told TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie.
Carell, who has worked with Gleeson before, is pretty confident that the star will thrive in the new series, which is set at a failing newspaper.
