Steve Carell is tendering his resignation as the egotistical boss Michael Scott of "The Office", and leaving the hit TV comedy show next year. Carell told Us Magazine that he would be leaving paper company Dunder Mifflin at the end of the upcoming TV season, in May 2011.
"Yes, it will be my last," Carell, 47, told
UsMagazine.com while promoting his movie "Despicable Me". "It's the last (season) on my contract, and I want to honor my contract."
Carell, who won a Golden Globe award for his role, said he wanted to spend more time with his wife and two young children.
