Dear Greg Daniels and the Producers of The Office,
As dedicated fans of The Office, we all spend time (especially in those sad summer months!) speculating about our favorite characters and their relations, as well as the perfect actors to play them. Who would Michael\'s mother be Who\'s Larissa Halpert But among fans, one idea seems to crop up far more than any other: Stephen Colbert as Gould, Jan\'s chilly ex-husband.
We ask you, Mr. Daniels, could a more perfect idea even exist The answer to this question is no. Who could match the magnificent Melora Hardin in both insanity and intimidating glares Who could strike fear into the heart of Michael Scott, but also spar with Steve Carell as a comedic equal Who would dedicated and casual fans love to see in a guest starring role, more than any other The answers to all these questions is Stephen Colbert.
Continue in your noble quest of reuniting Daily Show correspondents. Continue developing the fantastic character of Jan and her dysfunctional relationship to Michael Scott. And keep the love alive with America\'s favorite pundit: Stephen Colbert.
We, the undersigned, respectfully ask that you consider our suggestion. As dedicated fans, we would only come to you with the very best of ideas. Thank you for your time.
I have been rewatching Jan's most chaotic moments lately and it only confirms that Stephen Colbert is the only person who could handle that level of intensity. The conversations happening in the comments prove that we all agree on the comedic potential of this casting choice. I am still keeping a close eye on any news from the production side because this dream deserves a real chance.

Watching the signature count climb toward the next big threshold reminds me why Stephen is the only choice for Gould. If you want to see this happen as much as I do please post this link on your social pages tonight. We need that extra momentum to ensure the producers take notice of our request.

Stephen Colbert's humor is insightful and relevant. Many people are so easily offended by humor that makes fun of their point of view while at the same time, so tolerant of humor that shares their view. Just like our president, they are hypocrites.

I really hope they listen to us for once. Colbert is a genius and he fits the vibe of the office so well.

OMG yes. Colbert is the only person who could play that role perfectly. Him and Melora Hardin would be comedy gold together.
