The Office - Steve Carell on Michael Scott (Paley Center Interview)

[manwithouthat44]

..... damn..... I dont know a Michael Scott.....

[binkabla]

why is every1 laaughing all the time?

[mcfrenchcfryphobe]

Funny, but not even close to "David Brent" R.I.P True Narcissist, and awkward one, " David Brent", they tried there best on your masterpiece Ricky, but alas you are truly the king of Comedy..... Many are they that Terrie, and linger, in Good; but not excellent British comedy.

[spacitydrummer4JC]

I was waiting for Rainn to say, "I don't believe you. Continue."

[rosaveritas]

everyone should know a Michael Scott :)

[RemoteDuck]

It's a crime that this man never won an emmy for his performance. I'm sorry but those guys on big bang have nothing on Michael Scott! 

[carmencats79]

@RemoteDuck

so true there is nothing funny about big bang

[notmorphy]

This is the most astute definition of Michael Scott's character I've ever heard.

[NatDTrent]

GOD! I MISS HIIIIM!!

[maxmoefoe]

Since when did Todd Howard work on the office?

[bixlerd]

I miss you, come back!!!

[keyblok]

Is that Elton John on his side? lol

[afkjkhah]

Damn, he is a such a good actor.

[timothymichaelnathan]

Dwight in the background . . permanently in character.

[xOjbabyxO8]

steve carell is the man!!

[deathencasedimmortal]

it would be nice if the entire interview was all in one video..instead of spliced retardedly

[beantownbully90]

Michael Scott has Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Look it up.

[ISAWBatman]

@beantownbully90 wow he does...lol

[iamweapon]

funny, i know a michael scott thankfully...

[Alfiekilledyou]

I still see him as Michael Scott. Shit.

[wyzapple]

"he's not capable of understanding, and once he does glean some understanding...he misinterprets it". The best explanation of Micheal Scott I have heard yet.

[nobolettu]

i can't believe steve is 48 years old. i thought he was thirty-something...

[LobsterPotsticker]

@nobolettu how :D his first movie role was like, 40 yr old virgin

(although i never saw it)

[SharksKid]

I know two Michael Scotts. I kind of wish I didn't because it's more excruciating and uncomfortable to watch an attention-starved moron make a fool of himself in public than to be that moron. At least he's shielded by the lack of self-awareness.

[jamesbastille]

SINCE AMY WINEHOUSE DIED OF THAT DESEASE I HAVE TO THINK OF YOU,MICKAEL SCARN, NOT TO HATE CARICATUROSIS.

BUT IT'S DANGEROUS AND THAT'S WHY WE THINK YOU ARE SO BRAVE.

AND I AM SO GLAD FOR YOUR HOLY EVER AFTER THAT I OFTEN THINK AMY WINEHOUSE IS HOLLIE'S MOTHER YOU ARE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IN COLORADO

GOODBYE

[544001]

@jamesbastille she didnt die of disease wth

[LeDerpinandWinning]

hhheeeeeeeee iiiiisssss :(

[inflamor]

lol at Wilsons attention jelly face

[8smellyjelly8]

damn you, michael scott, sometimes i wanna kick you in the crotch !!! steve carell, you're a great actor <3

[SuperTottenham3]

Did I hear Seth Rogan?

[umacenuff]

If Michael Scott is not part of the office, then I will write the F word on every office clip on youtube. The F word. You have two days.

[impasse0124]

@umacenuff "Two days for what?"

"That's--they always give an ultimatum."

[joe80dmanizanerd]

The only thing I hate about the office is that nobody ever tells michael that he's a fcking moron and smacks him in the face. Except from pam once.

[TheICWChairman]

who the fuck is steve carrell? thats Michale Scott people come on!!!!!

[ppetracco]

@TheICWChairman Michael Scott comment right there, dude.

[Qoppa1]

Lol... im sorry after watching The Office and seeing Steve using the same gestures and everything I just cannot take him seriously, even when he is acting entirely conscious of himself.

[hahaforlife1]

10 people dont know a michael scott

[SeFRaR]

Dwight is still a creeper

[DrPepper742]

@EnjoyMinecraft Yeah, he seems pretty moral (only when he's not jealous or angry) and his heart is in the right place. He will be missed.

[EnjoyMinecraft]

at least Michael's intentions are always good

[puzzzlepiece]

Where can I watch the full interview?

[lostieforevaaa23]

WE'LLMISSU MICHAEL SCOTT!!!

[lostieforevaaa23]

steve carells the best!

WE'LL MISS U MICHAEL SCOTT!!!!

[lostieforevaaa23]

steve carells the best!

WE'LL MISS U MICHAEL SCOTT!!!!

[knightsintodreams]

oh thank goodness, i keep saying "Michael is just like [old family friend], he just acts totally like [old family friend]" so i'm not a michael scott!! thankgod

[MrShermanisme]

i dont know a michael so i am one.......i am proud of that fact

[lostieforevaaa23]

@MrShermanisme Same here....im a huge office fan

[jaffey2006]

my dad is just like michael scott. fml.

[310Smirnoff]

10 people dopnt like this clip

[MexicanDoctorJ]

@310Smirnoff Well thanks for letting us know. I am sure the world will be a better place now that you let it know that "10 people dont like this clip." Gosh, why does everyone say worthless crap like that?

[ItJustGrowsLikeThat]

Steve Carell spoke wisely when he said "If you don't know Michael Scott, you are Michael Scott."

[daymyth]

Is there anyway to get the full version?

[diddealmqvist]

STOP COMMENTING ON HOW MANY PEOPLE WHO DOESN'T LIKE THE FUCKING CLIP

[dazebhen1]

@diddealmqvist excuse me? do you own this page?

[diddealmqvist]

@dazebhen1 no but it's fucking annoying! Everyone can se the damn dislike bar, noone needs to comment on it!

Or Justin Bieber.

Or Rebecka Black.

Or Charlie Sheen

[dazebhen1]

@diddealmqvist except Chuck Norris

[IDOVGLEE]

10 people clearly dont have a since of humour :P

[l33tpwnzord]

Why is roy out there? what a douche

[SolidCorn]

@l33tpwnzord You realize that that is David Denman, the ACTOR who plays Roy Anderson.

[DarthTyranus926]

i guess the definition of wink has changed since i was a kid

[gazillionandone19]

At 1:04 Rainn Wilson winks at someone, I can't believe I caught that.

[littleamigo926]

@gazillionandone19 he blinked you fag

[gazillionandone19]

@littleamigo926 "Mommy look, I called someone a fag on youtube. I'm a big boy now!" Plus, I didn't mean wink, I meant he lifts his left eyebrow at an unknown person. Clearly, that isn't a blink, littleamigo. Good day.

[DarthTyranus926]

@gazillionandone19 i guess the definition of the word "wink" has changed since i was a kid

[gazillionandone19]

@DarthTyranus926 Yeah, I think I shouldn't even have mentioned it in the first place :/ It was irrelevant. I love Michael Scott.

[goceltics339]

@gazillionandone19 I knew what u meant. i guess that makes me better than them! Yes!

[gazillionandone19]

@goceltics339 Scratch that, I love Michael Scott and I love goceltics339!

[PuertoRicanPow]

its weird cus when i watch this i feel like he is describing himself lol

[Meow91]

looks like rainn wilson disapproves

[Frigdogg]

Loosing Steve from Blue's Clues was enough to ruin my childhood. Now this. Dejavu is a bitch.

[WCchillin]

darryl is for sure going to take over. MY PROOF: Michael gives him his book "How I MANAGE" Also, Darryl in an earlier episode said 2011 is going to be a big year

[frankiethefrank]

I will never, ever buy anything from Maybeline.

[kustomkure]

@Wesleyskaters there is only one person that sucks here and sucks hard. That is you.

[kustomkure]

@Wesleyskaters wtf? he was legit in Step Brothers and he is legit in the Office. He doesn't steal the show, he will definitely bring a lot of new things to the table.

[HighTowerProduction]

@Wesleyskaters I agree, Ferrel wasn't impressive at all... the show has had it's run... time to call it quits

[kustomkure]

@Wesleyskaters Will Ferrel never suck. Remember that.

[greineisen84]

MIchael Scott is so sincere and so is Steve Carell that's why it works so brilliantly.

[LexWillful]

I'd like to believe that Steve Carell is just Micheal Scott and he's not really Steve Carell

[distortedveins]

the office will never be the same without michael scott and steve carrell. ):

[apeace90]

shit. i don't know a michael scott.

[lolhahah21]

@apeace90 Oh my cousin is a Michael Scott!! LOL

[lolhahah21]

@apeace90 Oh lol sorry i commented before I saw the video.. now i get exactly why u said that lol .. but yeah my cousin is still a michael scott.

[lurifaxable]

seriously he would do better alone at this interview, dont really care about what the other actors say, sure they are a part of the office and they fullfill their roll but off cameras they are just regular joes to me, steve carell though is a pure genius.

[1991stacy]

I personally felt like Will Arnett would have been a better replacement than Will Ferrel.

[Ienstien965]

this show is so fucking awesome!!! _O_

[navidb7]

hahaa, at 1:01-1:07 dwight hits on jan

[o0XeoNightmare0o]

Wll Ferrell Is replacing him on the office. #Winning

[kalebeefcake]

@o0XeoNightmare0o most unwinning thing ever.

[PhrozenFenom]

@o0XeoNightmare0o NO! i'm so glad that you are wrong. will ferrell would run this show into the ground. his character is only a temporary replacement for michael while they look for a new boss

[akira6666666]

we love u steve! <3

[supensaa]

I swear if Steve Carrell leaves The Office.. I will burn Utica to the ground.

[henry4904]

@supensaa Oh shit Steve Carrell left U gonna do it

[MiloTheCatsStudio]

@supensaa no dont kill karen!

[maddni]

@supensaa well... i guess it's time to get to work?? :D

btw, im sad to c steve carrell leave the office, he was the best char in that show... but we get jim carrey, looking forward 2 c what it kind of... weird stuff he does :P

[loscakes]

@maddni Last I checked, they still haven't confirmed who the new boss will be.

[drumArthur]

@supensaa aw man he did =/

[Clintbdee]

@supensaa So did you????

[johootly]

@supensaa umm.. sorry to break it to you but .. he is... isn't he?

[SphankeyPD]

[kevinschubert17]

[ArthurTheHorseBOOM]

[imtheman500000]

@supensaa Oh god..............

[quidploras]

i am going to miss you so much.

[TAz69x]

haha, 1:04+, Rainn Wilson is flirting with his eyes in the background...

=3

[mizlipglos07]

I keep waiting for him to say something stupid/funny like Michael Scott, but then I realize he's being completely serious LOL

[Shwartzer]

@mizlipglos07 I know i' mena if you really lie were talking to him you'll be like really expecting for something and you'll get all fustated

[ty1977]

love jans tits. why does it sound like Seth Rogan is laughing in the background?

[AndrewRyanJD]

@ty1977 i agree with two

[ty1977]

@AndrewRyanJD about jans tits or Seth?

[laterzcrew]

actually it could also survive if charlie sheen took over as well that would be so funny

[LexiPexi15]

How come we can hear Jim laughing above all others?

Because that's the way it's supposed to be.

[MrDanglesnipes18]

does anyone know if they are going to continue the show without him?

[anakarinaborbolla201]

I love STEVE!!!!

[Mu4dD1b15]

Anytime the camera focuses on Steve from the side like in 1:48, you can see "Dwight" in the way that Rainn is smiling.

[Solostudios1949]

Angela is the cat lady from the simpsons

[HelloRWA]

HOLY SHIT I'm Michael Scott!

[SupaKirbTV]

@ERPPP Exactly lol.

[lurifaxable]

I dont see steve carell, i see michael scott whenever i see this legend

[Shannon25957]

Compare this sweet, sexy, humble man to that arrogant asshole, Charlie Sheen. Gotta love Steve Carell.

[SupaKirbTV]

I miss the chemistry of the old office. It just isn't there anymore. They should just end it when Carell leaves.

[cena21377]

Why are they drinking water out of wine glasses?????? Lol

[CHAOSoriginal]

I guess I'm a Michael Scott.

[suarezart17]

this guy is the best, steve carrell is hilarious!!!!!!

[BillyKip]

Damn!... This Guy is so Awesome!... Really, this guy is someone who bring back memories of another big comedians, but, he got some more...

[TheMrTide]

damn melora hardin has some great tits.

[bobolob]

@TheMrTide Thumbs up!

[bobolob]

I started watching The Office in mid November (2010) and am already caught up with the series (its Feb. 2011 now) I would have gotten through it all much much faster but there's that whole living life that a person's gotta do. You're hooked instantly and writing only improved as the seasons progressed and the characters developed! Now I'm in withdrawal because I've never had to wait for a new episode...

[zbcrazy]

@bobolob I started watching in Feb 2011 and I finished in Feb 2011. xD And I must say, I completely agree about the withdrawal....the new episode won't come soon enough!

[bobolob]

@zbcrazy I think I slowed it down a little to avoid the withdrawal a little longer. Sometimes I jotted down funny quotes, so that slowed me down a little too. It's pretty easy to go 5-6 episodes (or more) in one sitting though.

[zbcrazy]

@bobolob It definitely is.

[bobolob]

Michael Scarn!

[tommirows]

8 People are Michael Scotts

[joystixxify]

totally agree with steve. thats how i view michael as well. it's like he's got no problem making remarks about gays or whatever because he doesn't understand why people make such a fuss lol love the office. it's gonna suck when he's gone. but maybe it's time to end it. while season 6 and 7 are still funny, i dont think they're as brilliant as 1-4 were

[Boogieboy138]

@CentrX137 I'm not blaming anybody else, I'm saying how could he do that, or anybody for any other kind of show that's the main character.

[cjfool67871]

Steve Carrel + A Show  = The Office

The Office - Steve Carrel = just a show

but either way the office still is awesome

[chrisMcG17]

Steve Carell fathead poster on sale for $17.41

[imev6lli]

someone has a very annoying laugh on the back

[TravelerKM]

Steve Carell-- sexy?

[kurtzim62]

Steve Carrel should not be on TV. No talent goof.

[whitstable11]

OMFG IT'S TODD HOWARRD!

or atleast, LOOKS LIKE HIM!!!

[Vorsatz13]

Stromberg!!

[miggerino]

Wow, Steve Carell has a lot of insight into the Michael Scott character. "He's not intrinsically racist, he just doesn't have a frame of reference. He doesn't understand the world." Brilliant synopsis!

[laterzcrew]

the only way the office will survive without him is if david brent takes over

[The79Machine]

@laterzcrew I was talking to my friend about that. I'm hoping that little run in with him, and him asking him to contact him if theres an opening for a job is a little sign that they are going to bring him in as a replacement.

I think that the show could go on as long as Rainn stays. But with those 2 gone it just wouldnt be the same.

[coveruplies]

@laterzcrew ricky gervais!

[kustomkure]

@laterzcrew no, Will Ferrel will own

[punkwaste69]

@laterzcrew what the fuck? boooooooo.

[BeginnningoftheEnd]

Ricky Gervais RULES. I can't get into the US version.eh

[Shisanu]

@laterzcrew It's still faaannniiii

[hvfjcx]

@laterzcrew no i think that the office without Michael is pretty much over...

[BonScottAC]

7 years long documentary about a paper company

[Journalistorama]

if michel is gone the serie sucks

[guardianation]

I hate these stupid commercials!!!!!

[fackinsaxy]

i hate people who force themselves to laugh (like at the beginning)

[starmellie]

I haven't seen season 6 yet.. but has Tobi left? :-( I love Tobi! he is such a sweetheart

[jenova6669]

@starmellie nope

[assassin22911]

The hottest chick on this show is Kelly Kapoor IMO, much more so then Pam.

[Hittaenkontakt]

@assassin22911 Then you have poor taste in women.

[assassin22911]

@Hittaenkontakt At least i have a taste in women....homo

lol

[DarkReapersGrim]

Who's the hot girl on the far Stanely at 0:47?

[guitar29682]

If it's so fun to play, then why the fuck are you leaving?

[zZSavageZ]

@guitar29682 his contract expires in the end of season 7

[xReinhartx]

@guitar29682 Obviously he has his reasons..

[glenwut]

@guitar29682 Because it has run its course and good things shouldn't be run into the ground for the sake of money. He can see that and so he is leaving.

[Janetvdl]

Spot on about Michael Scott. I think Michael means well, and he does have a big heart. I don't think Michael is racist, sexist, bigoted, or a homophobe. He just doesn't understand, and he lacks self awareness

[LootableCorpse]

yes carrell very funny and shit but we NEED MORE OFFICE

[MrSatanochio]

His description was too good.

[DoubleDDaily]

i agree that he shouldnt leave the office at all, me being a super huge fan of both the american and BBC versions, but hes getting the respect and doing more out there in the media that he should have gotten a LOOOOOOOOOONGGG time ago
