'The Office': Will Arnett, Ricky Gervais both sign on for season finale

At looks like we could very well have our replacement for Steve Carell on "The Office dvd," and his name is one that people will be familiar with right away -- Will Arnett.

In a new story by Entertainment Weekly, the former "Running Wilde" star has signed on to appear at the end of the season alongside Ricky Gervais (who made a cameo appearance as David Brent earlier in the year). These two have both been talked about as replacements for quite some time, though Gervais has always contended that he has no desire to work full-time on the show as an actor -- citing the ridiculously large amounts of cash he pulls in thanks to syndication.

Arnett, meanwhile, is someone Gervais has endorsed as a replacement in the past, and he is a name many are already familiar with. The downside here is that many of his recent projects -- including "Wilde" -- have not lived up to the considerable hype.

These two are not the only guest stars in the episode, so we do have to consider that the show is pulling a fast one on us and waiting until the very end to showcase the real replacement.

"The Office dvd" is set to air their first new episode in weeks Thursday night on NBC.
