How a Canceled NBC Sitcom Paved the Way for The Office’s Success

No doubt, The Office owes much of its success to Steve Carell as Michael Scott. Known as one of the most memorable TV characters, Michael is a character who presents himself as a boorish, self-centered, unprofessional, and frequently incompetent boss. Beneath this facade, he has a softer, kinder, and even cunning side that occasionally shows. Initially, The Office underwent significant changes after season 1, and the series struggled to find its rhythm. With Carell’s skillful comedic acting, it’s plausible the show might not have continued without his contributions.
