Steve Carell spreads for a memorable but painful episode of The office.

“Be careful! Attention, all the elders,” said Carell in a video published on the YouTube channel of the charitable organization.

“Alice’s children wanted me to let you know that they will pay for all your ball tickets. And if you have already paid your ball tickets, they will reimburse your ball tickets to you,” he said.

“Steve has been supporting us for years. When I started talking to the directors of the directors to pay the tickets, someone at some point has actually mentioned Steve’s name … and he told me that Steve was actually quite popular with high school students because they” discovered ” The office During Covid and they saw me despicable, “said Fitzsimons in an email at NPR.
