Steve Carell’s Rooster Is a Fresh Take on Prestige Comedy TV

Steve Carell became a major comedy star in the early 2000s with films like The 40-Year-Old Virgin and his iconic role as Michael Scott on The Office. While on The Office, he continued to appear in comedies, but after leaving the show, he began taking on more serious and complex roles, even playing characters people loved to hate in high-quality series like Apple TV+’s The Morning Show. That’s why his return to sitcoms with Rooster is so intriguing. It suggests we might see genuinely funny comedies on streaming services again.
