‘The Office’: Who should replace Steve Carell?

His only recent TV experience was on “Saturday Night Live” and “Tim and Eric Awesome Show,” but Zach Galifianakis’s ability to humiliate himself and make everyone uncomfortable are perfect bullet points on the Michael Scott resume.  (Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Digitas)

Also no stranger to self-humiation, Conan sweetens the pot with a hefty stock of corny sex jokes. If yet another network reneges on his talk show, it might not be a bad option.  (Jemal Countess/Getty Images)

His John Locke character was a born leader and used to having a controlling, diabolical nerd as his sidekick/rival. But he might want to watch out if Dwight starts carrying rope around.  (Jeff Gentner/Getty Images)

He’s not leaving “30 Rock”until 2012, but there’s no harm in getting a head start on a new project.

With buxom Jan out of the office and mostly out of the picture, Dunder Mifflin could use a new head-cracking executive. Given her history on “Ugly Betty,” she could also help Pam along with her promising steps toward better fashion.  (Andrew H. Walker/Getty Images for Otarian)

“Two and a Half Men” is still around, but given that Jake’s voice has changed the show is either coming to a close or in need of a new title. And Charlie Sheen could mimic Michael Scott’s insensitivity, self-centeredness and disregard for proper social mores perfectly.  (Riccardo S. Savi/Getty Images)

On “24” Williamson’s Brian Hastings was constantly making the worst decisions and trying to pass them off as really good ideas. Gee, who does that sound like?  (Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

With a penchant for self-importance and very little on his schedule, Jon Gosselin might be a perfect fit in Scranton. You know -- pending some acting classes.  (William Thomas Cain/Getty Images)

Having played characters that are seemingly oblivious to social cues, Lennon can already tap into one of Michael Scott’s dominant traits. Plus, his nightstick from “Reno 911!” might come in handy keeping the Dunder Mifflin crowd in line.  (Kris Connor/Getty Images)
