Hey, is was the season finale right? I think they were just having some fun (with cameos from really big actors) for the finale. I don't think any of them were actual considerations? We have nooo clue where the next season will start (maybe the writers probably aren't even sure yet) so it could start off with the decision of who is the boss, but I doubt it. They could totally take the show in an entirely different direction, now that Steve Carell is gone, and they might just do that to not have to even HAVE a "Michael Scott replacement". I just took the episode joke-by-joke and didn't play up the consequences of actually interviewing these people, or whatever... Those are just my thoughts on it.
I agree....it seems that there won't be a definite "Michael Scott 2.0". If they did that I feel that the show wouldn't be as good having just another Steve Carrell wannabe and it would die off.....I'm really just cruising along and taking it episode by episode!
I actually could see Andy being an interesting boss. He's insane enough to be funny. But out of the outside interviewers, I think James Spader would do the best.
