Is Ricky Gervais’ David Brent coming to the American “Office”?

Whilst watching the Hollywood Foreign Press’ Golden Globe Awards, hosted by none other than Ricky Gervais of the original series “The Office” and “Extras”, we did some Internet research and saw that there is a rumor going around that Ricky will bring his David Brent character to the American “Office.” He is, along with Stephen Merchant, the executive producer, so he can sort of do whatever he wants.

But this is like getting a Christmas present in January. Oh, it is January.

Remember, David Brent was unbearable, suffocating, hard to even like, unlike Steve Carrell, who has played the same role with a little more lovable flair. It would be amazing to get a second wind of Brent. It may save NBC.
