Krasinski Miss Some Thing In "The Office" Hot News

Steve Carell and his iconic Michael Scott leave "The Office" Thursday night, and Jhon Krasinski is still getting over it.

"We just finished our last episode of the year, but (shooting) Steve’s final show came about three weeks ago and it was brutal in no uncertain sense of the word," the lanky actor who plays Jim Halpert reported during a promotional spin for "Some Thing Borrowed," Krasinski's latest movie.

"It wasn’t so clear when it was happening (because) my logical brain simply told me that this is what happens when people move on and they have contracts that expire.
"Then, of course, you realize a huge part of your show, a huge part of your everyday life, and a huge part of the energy around you is gone, so it’s sad to lose a friend like that.

"It really was tough," Krasinksi said. "I wasn’t expecting it and I definitely did cry on the last day. The last scene of the day was the good-bye for our characters. They hadn't said good-bye; (Steve and I) hadn’t said good-bye, and it became an incredibly existential black hole."
Regardless, "The Office" will survive on NBC-TV for this year and beyond.

"Most Hotest" How Krasinski Said Goodbye To Carell On "The Office"

We’ve known Michael Scott was leaving Dunder Mifflin for awhile, so we’ve had time to mentally prepare ourselves. The cast of “The Office” has known even longer, but they weren’t prepared to get emotional on Steve Carell's Last Day. While promoting the romantic comedy Something Borrowed, John Krasinski shared his own tearful farewell.

Definitely cried on the last day,” Krasinski said. “Wasn’t expecting it and then the last scene of the day was our goodbye of characters. We hadn’t said goodbye and so that was an incredibly existential black hole. It was like way too much happening. So there were definitely tears.”

The show has wrapped for the season but it was several weeks ago that Carell wrapped. Krasinski describes his feelings graphically. “Brutal, in no uncertain terms which I only say because it wasn’t so clear when it was happening. I think I was under the impression of my logical brain saying, ‘This is just what happens. People move on and they have contracts that expire and there’s nothing personal’. Then you realize that a huge part of your show, a huge part of your everyday life, a huge part of the energy around you every day is gone. It’s just sad to lose a friend like that. It was tough but it’s all fantastic and our energy level on set is tremendous and we all feel incredibly excited about what’s to come. Everybody was talking about a spinoff 2 ½, three years ago. This is the show sans Steve. It’s ‘The Office 2.’”
