And just like that, Steve Carell has — for now — dashed the dreams of Michael Scott lovers everywhere.

In a chat with the Los Angeles Times, The Office‘s original boss says that not only does he currently have no plans to return to the NBC comedy, but that he thinks any cameo would ultimately be a letdown.

“Do you really think that people want to see Michael Scott again?” he asked, rhetorically. [Editor’s note: The answer to that is duh, yes (!).] “I think the people who say they want to see Michael Scott reappear would be ultimately slightly disappointed. I think you always wish for something that you don’t sincerely want to come true. And I think in a way it’s better to imagine where Michael and Holly are at this point than actually see it.”
