Thanks to Bruce_F for the heads up.
What do you think? Would she make a good boss? If not, who would you like to see takeover?
If The Office producers have their way, Catherine Tate will be the new manager of Dunder Mifflin's Scranton branch.
The British comedienne, who will appear on the NBC comedy's Thursday finale episode alongside guest stars Jim Carrey, Ray Romano and Will Ferrell, is said to be the top choice of the show's producers, though her ability to take the job is in question due to her current theater commitment.
Tate, who is best known for work on England’s hit series Doctor Who as well as her eponymous U.K. sketch comedy series, is reuniting with her former Who co-star David Tennant as Beatrice in this summer's Much Ado About Nothing in England. The Telegraph recently dubbed it "this summer's hottest theatre ticket."

I doubt she's going to be it. They're not going to let this get out before the finale or season eight premiere.
ReplyDeleteDONNA!! She was my favourite companion.
ReplyDeleteIs she bovverred?
ReplyDeleteI can see Tate as the new boss... If that happens, I won't be complaining!
ReplyDeleteThat's be hilarious! It's like an almost-Brent.
ReplyDeleteI stand firmly behind the best temp in Chiswick. (That's what she said.)
ReplyDeleteFOR THE LOVE OF GOD, YES.
ReplyDeleteWho?
ReplyDeleteThats awesome! I love Catherine Tate, she's so funny. Donna!!!
ReplyDeleteLol, I'm not sure if you said that purposely, or if you are legitimately unaware of who she is.
ReplyDeleteHa! Just got that.
ReplyDeleteIf they could get both her and David Tennant, then they would be a smash for the Office and anything else.
ReplyDeleteIf you haven't seen how good those two would be together get ahold of "Partners In Crime," the first episode of the series four of Doctor Who.
Take this report with a grain of salt, they have Will Ferrell listed for the episode, but he completed his 4 episode guest arc.
ReplyDeleteShe can make anything she say funny.
ReplyDeleteI honestly have never heard of this woman so I have no idea what to expect with her, if she does end up in the position.
ReplyDeleteAh, lol, I thought it was funny because she was on Dr. Who. If you don't watch British Television then you won't have heard of her.
ReplyDeleteThat must be why, I don't really watch British Television. Did a quick scan of all her work on IMDb but didn't recognize anything. So I will take your word on it that she's good at what she does and hope for the best.
ReplyDeleteBut if I could pick, I'd pick Jim Carey as the new manager because in my opinion he's the epitome of comedy. I'm excited to see how it'll all turn out though.
I've never found The Office funny or watchable but I would watch for Catherine Tate.
ReplyDeleteYou should educate yourself.
ReplyDeleteShe's in a lot of stuff and is very funny. Probably too funny for The Office though.
ReplyDeletedarn it i wanted it to be Will Arnett or Ricky Gervais
ReplyDeleteAlso, she is doing Much Ado About Nothing in England, with David Tennant (who she was with in Doctor Who) I really doubt they will let her out of it.
ReplyDeleteI love the office, even the later seasons until now! But if she is going to be the new boss i will stop watching, i dont like her AT ALL -.-
ReplyDeleteCan't stand her, but I haven't been watching after Carell left so I don't really care either way...
ReplyDeleteSame here!
