<p>Ricky Gervais is to make a guest appearance in the US version of The Office, playing blundering boss David Brent.</p>
<p>The comic will come face-to-face with Steve Carell who plays his counterpart, Michael Scott, in the US remake of the hit BBC show.</p>
<p>Writing on his blog, Ricky confirmed the news and said: &#8220;Blink and you&#8217;ll miss it, but just a little thanks to Steve Carell. A pleasure to work with the great man.&#8221;</p>
<p>The British star became a worldwide name when he co-wrote, directed and starred in the original version of The Office as the well-meaning but foolish Brent.</p>
<p>Earlier this week, he was criticised for delivering a string of acerbic put-downs while hosting the Golden Globes.</p>
<p>Ricky was condemned for making near-the-knuckle jokes at the expense of shocked Hollywood A-listers in the audience.</p>
<p>He cracked jokes about Charlie Sheen and Robert Downey Jr and also talked about Scientology and gay celebrities pretending to be straight while hosting the show.</p>
<p>Alec Baldwin was seen wiping a tear from his eye at the wisecracks, while Robert De Niro, who was handed a lifetime achievement award, dissolved in laughter.</p>
<p>But the New York Daily News called him &#8220;tasteless, bordering on nasty&#8221;, while the LA Times said his jokes set &#8220;a corrosive tone&#8221; for the night.</p>
