Steve Carell departed “The Office” when his contract for the series ended. During his 2010 E! News interview, Carell detailed how the close of the contract resulted in him concluding his portrayal of Michael Scott. “I just think it’s time,” Carell said. “I want to fulfill my contract. When I first signed on I had a contract for seven seasons, and this coming year is my seventh. I just thought it was time for my character to go.” Although many would be rightfully concerned that the leading star leaving could tank the show, he then clarified that this did not mean the series would be finishing, and it could actually “add some new life and some new energy” to “The Office.” He stated, “I see it as a positive in general for the show.”
In regards to leaving “The Office” after Season 7, Carell also told Entertainment Weekly that he had a desire “to spend more time with [his] family.” Following this news, Carell said he faced difficulties in reaching this choice. “It’s tough because it works, and a lot of my best friends work on the show,” Carell said during a “Charlie Rose” appearance. “And it’s been a big, big part of my life. So it wasn’t an easy decision to make, but I just feel like now’s the time.” Since this exit, Carell has revisited his performance in the sitcom.
