Rainn Wilson has admitted that it will be difficult for The Office to continue without Steve Carell.
Carell, who plays Michael Scott, will depart the show in a specially-extended episode on April 28.
Wilson has now told Xfinity that Carell's exit will have a big impact on the series.
"We're taking a big hit," he said. "We're losing one of the greatest comedy actors of all time, and that's no fun."
However, Wilson suggested that he is optimistic that the show can continue without Carell, saying: "We will survive, as Gloria Gaynor says. We've got the best comedy ensemble on television. And the best writing staff on television. But we all know it's a very unique and interesting challenge to kind of reinvent the show."
Wilson has previously admitted that he is "ready, willing and able to move on" from The Office if the series comes to an end.
The show, which has already been renewed for another season, airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC.
