Will Ferrell to be the new temp on The Office

We all know that Steve Carell is leaving The Office & 4 episodes before the season ends but what we just found out today is that Will Ferrell will be joining the team for 4 episodes...3 of which Steve will still be there for & 1 after he's left.  Ferrell will be playing another inept branch manager sent from home office & in my opinion this could go either way.  Steve Carell plays an idiot well but Ferrell is an over-actor who plays great idiots but a bit too much you know?  The show & network seem to think that adding him to the cast will boost ratings & help cushion the blow of Carell's departure but really, this show needs to end.  Last season was terrible, there was all of 2 funny episodes & so far this season is better but it's still hit or miss & I don't care who they replace Carell with the show has lost its mojo & I don't think any actor could save it at this point.  I always loved the show but I would like to see it end before they grasp for more straws trying to amp it back up & undoubtedly run it right into the ground.
