James Spader set to depart 'The Office'James Spader's Robert California just landed the job of new "CEO" of Dunder-Mifflin at the start of this season of "The Office," but the actor's already handing in his resignation.

Let's take a look at the shows and moments that set Twitter on fire this year:
