Steve Carell hosted the Nov. 17 episode of «SNL.»<\/b>
\nIt has been five years since \u201cThe Office\u201d ended its run on NBC, and questions about a reboot are never far from minds when members of the cast are in the public eye. During Steve Carell \u2019s Nov. 17 hosted episode of the Peacock\u2019s late night sketch series, \u201cSaturday Night Live,\u201d he took the opportunity to fake out the audience with news of a reboot but instead delivered a partial reunion.
During Carell\u2019s monologue, he took questions from the audience, including long-time \u201cSNL\u201d player Kenan Thompson and former \u201c The Office \u201d stars Jenna Fischer, Ellie Kemper and Ed Helms.
\u201cIt was a great experience, I love all of those people, but I don\u2019t think it\u2019s the best idea,\u201d he said of a reboot. \u201cI think we should just leave it alone.\u201d
Carell went on to try to explain in different terms why it might not work, telling Thompson, \u201cIt would be like if they wanted you to reboot \u2018Kenan & Kel.\u2019\u201d
\u201cThat would be an honor,\u201d Thompson replied.
Carell reiterated that he didn\u2019t think a reboot would be \u201cas good\u201d as the original and that he didn\u2019t think it was a good idea \u2014 even when Kemper told him she \u201cneeded that money.\u201d
\u201cI don\u2019t think you realize how much money,\u201d Helms said. \u201cYou wouldn\u2019t have to do those sad movies anymore.\u201d
Fischer asked Carell if he remembered the \u201clast words Pam secretly whispered to Michael on \u201cThe Office.\u201d \u201cShe said, \u2018Steve don\u2019t be a dick, do the reboot,\u201d she said. \u201cLet\u2019s just do the damn thing!\u201d
Carell\u2019s wife, Nancy Carell, who appeared on \u201cThe Office,\u201d and children were also in the audience, and they also said they wanted him to do the show. \u201cWe don\u2019t really need you to hang around anymore. We\u2019re good,\u201d Nancy Carell said.
Carell asked the audience if a reboot was what they really wanted, and of course that drew loud applause, but he didn\u2019t have an actual announcement of one to make. Instead, they were treated to the reunion when his former castmates joined him on stage.
\u201c Saturday Night Live \u201d airs live coast-to-coast Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET \/ 8:30 p.m. PT on NBC.<\/p>\n
