Warren Buffett to guest star on 'Office' finaleThe season finale of “The Office” is going to be a packed house. In addition to the likes of Ricky Gervais, Jim Carrey and Will Arnett, famed investor Warren Buffett is also expected to make a cameo. According to Variety, Buffett will also be angling for the gig Steve Carell's Michael Scott vacated at the end of April and was temporarily filled by Will Ferrell’s Deangelo Vickers. Apparently, Buffett had the "Office" crew make a stop by his company's annual shareholders meeting for a skit in which Buffett pretended to take over for former office manager Scott. Other big names descending on the Scranton, Pennsylvania office that episode are Catherine Tate, James Spader and Ray Romano. The finale airs next week on May 19. How do you think Buffett would fare as Dunder Mifflin’s boss?
