Steve Carell

What a blast, this show shows what is really considered funny for Steve and Nancy Carell! They love the word play, they love the silliness in the most daunting and depressing situations! The amount of ridiculousness people pull while being serious is highlighted like fireworks in this series! They take all the serious topics you could imagine a CSI-respected-series and romantic-drama-series and transfrom them in this insightful funny rediculous twist, you could hardly imagine the connection! The amount of word play is ridiculous, every word and situation is described Literally instead of the day to day metaphoric explanation! Examples: For Pete's Sake......Pete is passing by and they say to him sorry Pete! This is not clear.....an ophthalmology kit is used to clear vision by different sun glasses etc. I liked the pilot a lot which was directed by Steve, although it set the tone of the show, the show continued with more obvious  eup...

Why was Steve Carell the best choice for this movie?  This movie was his first break-out in cinematic roles, his first reach for the stardom level. But why was he the best fitted, certainly not because he was the 40 years old virgin, he already had two kids by the time!! It was because despite being on the show business for so long, either on The Second City stage or TV shows (mostly cancelled after few episodes), or as a TV correspondent and sometimes host on The Daily Show, he never really experienced this Hall of Fame sense in terms of being a top star, and while that to most people either happens at once or after a while, he took literally too long to reach it. He was the 40 years old virgin to fame! This is may be because his approach was different than most of the famous recipes at the time. He was combining wit with silliness, while most of his characters were nervous -like himself at the time- they were also pathetic in nature, and that combination was no...

The Daily Show played a very important part in shaping the Steve Carell we know, first off, he was called Steven before it and chose to shorten it to Steve after! He was shining in the Second City sketches and later in The Dana Carvey Show, but in the Daily Show he started to use the more subtle technique of comedy, where you use your poker face while saying the most absurd things you can figure, before that he used anger and increasing his voice pitch more, like in the Germans who say nice things! He started to master another form of comedy which is the self-tortured-whining in public kind, where he expresses all his vulnerability in front of a live audience! Also he tried a lot of different awkward situations each night, which resulted in a Michael Scott-ish situations! Here Michael Scott was born!!! As of acting, he acted hate, anger, love, but most of all self-ignorance or blindness to how he affects others thinking he is a genius while actually he is a buffoon!! He had...
