January 19, 2011 by Alanna Bennett
OFFICE fans, hold onto your hats.
It was announced today that Ricky Gervais — controversial GOLDEN GLOBES host and, more importantly, co-creator and star of the UK version of THE OFFICE — will be reprising his role as David Brent on NBC’s version of the show.
The guest appearance has been described as simply a “small cameo,” will appear during the January 27th episode of the series. Reportedly, the cameo was shot all the way back in September, and that producers had been hoping to keep the appearance a secret to surprise fans.
But hey, this is the internet, and one leak led to another…How else would you expect the world to react to the news that Michael Scott and David Brent would finally meet? With excitement, of course!
What do you think?
Are you looking forward to this guest appearance, even if it’s probably not going to allow for much screen time?

Wow! That’s great. Ricky Gervais was my father’s idol since then. He really loves watching Ricky Gervais shows. I would have to inform my father about it. And for sure he’s going to watch out for that. Thanks for the info. Keep posting such a very informative article.
