At long last, the reunion between Ron Burgundy and Brick Tamland amid the halls of The Office is nearly upon us, and if Champ Kind pokes his bald head in for a cameo the mustachioed gods of Anchormen shall weep the world over!

In other words, Will Ferrell's four-episode guest stint on The Office has nearly arrived, and NBC has released the first behind-the-scenes look at the legendary comedic actor's arrival at the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin.

Ferrell plays Deangelo Vickers, an (evidently) old friend of Michael Scott who comes to take the reigns in the April 14th episode "Training Day." 

We know the arc to last a bittersweet four episodes, but it would seem from the clip below that the characters hadn't intended on Vickers as a temporary measure.

Check out the preview clip below, where John Krasinski, Jenna Fischer and Ed Helms all offer up their behind-the-scenes reaction to such a prolific guest star.

And don't forget to stay tuned to the final episodes of The Office's seventh season as Steve Carell makes his exit and Ferrell, Will Arnett and David Brent himself Ricky Gervais all vie for the throne of Regional Manager!

Don't they look like the kind of men who discovered the wheel, and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal, and brawn?!  File your thoughts below!
