Steve Carell Cruelly Tricked Us All Into Believing The Office Was Coming Back (It’s Not)
It feels like every show is being rebooted. Gilmore Girls came out with four new episodes in November, Arrested Development is probably getting a fifth season, and at this point we’re actually starting to have hope that Friends may get the gang back together after all. So why not The Office? Steve Carell made a lot of people’s days today when he tweeted that the beloved workplace sitcom was coming back:
Breaking News: “The Office” returning to NBC.

Obviously, Twitter lost its collective mind:

Unfortunately, shortly after Carell let us know he was just trolling us:
Wait, sorry. I meant “Will and Grace” (Typo)

As you can probably imagine, emotions on Twitter continued to run high. This time though, it was totally opposite:

Honestly, let’s all just blame Toby for this one.
This could only be the foul work of Toby…Did he hack you?! @SteveCarell
