#5 Steve Carell's on-screen number was retired
In the first seven seasons it was seen that Steve Carell's name was on the top of the call sheet. Even when he was not a part of the cast, the production team and the cast still adored him. For this, they made a call to retire the No.1 contact on the list for the upcoming seasons.
