I’m no Matlock (yet), but the evidence sure is mounting that Will Arnett will not replace Steve Carell, despite guest-starring in The Office finale. As Splitsider reported last week, Will Arnett will co-star in NBC’s Christina Applegate pilot. The show still has no name, but continues to slowly assemble a more and more excellent cast. Deadline confirms that Arnett will be playing Applegate’s husband, the stay-at home dad to her “acerbic†working mom. That plus co-star Maya Rudolph basically guarantees we will watch this show praying it survives, but it seems more and more likely our Arnett/Creed slash-fiction will remain solely in the word of fantasy. Since Will Ferrell won’t be joining The Office full-time either, the speculation about who will be sliding into Michael Scott’s still butt-warm chair continues.
