I was thinking he was moving onto something more brilliant but I can't think of anything of note.
What has Steve Carell done to justify leaving the Office?
- Thread starter Ghost Utmost
- Start date
It doesn't matter. The show fell off when he was still on the show.

Yep. He saw the writing on the wall. Left at the perfect time.
When did he made those Despicable Me movies?
Right here bruh
Damn I didn't know Carell had die hard Stans like that. The Pac emoji/pic is a nice touch considering the mind state of Pac Stans.
This is certainly a lot of accolades. Makes it more crazy that nothing really stands out as classic material. I haven't seen some of the newer shyt I have to admit.
I thought Office was as good as ever right before Carell left. He killed the show when he left.
He was just nominated for a Best Actor Oscar...

Steve Carell is wack. Plays the same comedic role every time.

Foxcatcher and The Way Way Back are enough justification, but like someone said, he saw the regression of the show and decided to get out of there. His name was already established, so why jeopardize it by trying to save that sinking ship.
Errr, I disagree. IMO, his last season on "The Office" (Season 7) was the season the show fell off. He made the decision to leave during Season 6, so the show was still a good show when he decided to leave.
