Jenna Fischer rocks the OTCR

JennaFischer: I go through a script and I underline all of the things the script says about me, like in the line notes, I underline everything other characters say about me and I note whether or not my character heard them say those things or not. I try to find out as much about the character as I can. And then, I fill in the blanks with my own imagination.

Joy Isobel: It has been revealed that there are going to more webisodes this summer! Do you know if you are going to take part in them? Thanks :)
JennaFischer: I didn’t know about the webisodes … they seriously don’t tell us anything.

JulesA: Hi Jenna. Thanks for taking time out to chat with us tonight. Were you one of the cast/staff fooled in tanster’s April Fools joke? It was a good one. ;)
JennaFischer: Yes, I was fooled by her April Fools joke. We were all talking about it on set!
JulesA: Aww, I’m glad tanster was able to fool you guys!

apollo: What other tv shows do you watch?
JennaFischer: Right now I’m watching Big Brother, Survivor, Law and Order SVU, Law and Order, Friday Night Lights. I gave up on Lost this season. My TiVo messed up so I’ll have to just watch it on DVD. I watch American Idol but only sometimes.
tanster: You gave up on Lost?! Oh no, this has been the BEST season!
Joy Isobel: SVU is awesome :)
JennaFischer: I have a bunch of Law and Orders on my Tivo. That is what I plan on doing tonight actually.
upsidedown: Lost is so good this season!
JennaFischer: I’ve heard that Lost is good. I can’t wait to see the DVD.
iheartjimhalpert: I love Law and Order!
GMMR (kath): Friday Night Lights. Riggins!!
JennaFischer: Riggins is SO HOT!
lemonade: Friday Night Lights is great! So glad to hear Angela got you into it.
mg714: Yes - return to Lost! I’m so happy that you and Angela love FNL as much as I do, too.
JennaFischer: I met Riggins at the movies!
JulesA: I agree with tanster, Lost has been amazing. It’ll be hard not to be spoiled until the DVDs
JennaFischer: I was there with David Denman … who plays Roy … and I guess Riggins knows David’s wife. So, David goes up to him and they start talking.

JennaFischer: I didn’t know who he was! He is SO DIFFERENT in real life! He was smiley and sweet and not all broody and dark like on the show.
mg714: Yet another reason to be jealous of Jenna - she met Riggins! :)
JennaFischer: It wasn’t until we walked away that I was like, “Riggins! Dear God! I just met Riggins and didn’t know!” That is probably a good thing. Because I might have seriously embarrassed myself.

CubeFarm: Are there plans to have David Denman come back…or at least let the fans know what his character (Roy) is currently doing?
JennaFischer: I don’t think David is coming back. At least not this year.
Joy Isobel: :(
CubeFarm: Thank you for answering my question, Jenna.

Tori_Weber: What do you think the chances are that there will be a SAG strike?
JennaFischer: I have no idea if there will be a SAG strike. I hope not. I don’t think anyone wants another strike.
JennaFischer: I just hope that the studios are reasonable and give us a portion of the internet residuals. I’m hoping the WGA deal can serve as a template.
lemonade: No one wants another strike.
Tori_Weber: thank you :)
apollo: boo to the strike

BigTuna: Do you want to see Dwight and Angela together again or do you want to see what happens with her and Andy?
Grassroots: good question big tuna!
carl: Dwangela is the new JAM
upsidedown: Heartbroken Dwight is so depressing :(
JennaFischer: Hello, Big Tuna … I like seeing Angela with Andy because we get to see her during the courtship phase of a relationship … which is hilarious. I also like seeing the ways Dwight competes for her affection. But ultimately, I think Dwight and Angela belong together.
Doug: yes, hearing dwight moan is almost unbearable
bluehval: poor dwight :(
mg714: Andy is a great character but it’s Dwangela forever!
JennaFischer: Dwight gets one up on Andy soon.
yarnseller: I loved Dwight’s depressed facial hair, though!
tanster: *nice*
Mexicanity: I can’t wait to see that!
apollo: oh my god yay!
jen: I love that Pam and Jim are sort of taking care of Dwight now.

sarah r: how many more episodes do you have to film?
JennaFischer: Just two more episodes to film. We film this week and then we film a one hour finale.
Phoenix27: one hour finale! best news since….well it’s the best news I’ve heard in a looong time!
sarah r: thank you.

GMMR (kath): can we expect a cliffhanger for the finale?
JennaFischer: Yes … I believe there is a nice cliffhanger. But, who knows. Seriously, things change daily.
JennaFischer: In one of the episodes you learn something about Pam that no one knew before.
JennaFischer: It’s a cool little fun fact about her. Makes for a fun episode.
yarnseller: the cliffhangers are gut wrenching–I want one, but then it hurts

Phoenix27: do you know who will write the season finale?
JennaFischer: Hmmm…I feel like I know who is writing the finale but I can’t remember. Paul Feig is directing it.

Matt Collins: Can you reveal if we get a relationshippy cliffhanger, character cliffhanger (like someone leaving) or neither?
JennaFischer: Someone leaves Dunder Mifflin at the end of the season. A series regular.
JennaFischer: I think that is still the plan.
tanster: WOW
Danny: whoa!
yarnseller: OMG!
StephanieC: oh my!

   Is it true that whoever is leaving, that is what the spinoff show will revolve around? I want to say that I think it’s Andy … but I also read that “it’s kind of a shocker”. It gets me thinking =)

   After reading the TV Guide article and John’s thoughts about how Pam has to work some things out, and Jenna’s thoughts about how she has to deal with “being 30 and still answering phones” I would say Pam’s the one leaving. Which, hmm. I’m not sure how I feel about it, but I definitely think for her fictional character’s self’s sake it needs to happen eventually.

   I think it’s absolutely awesome the way the cast members of this show continue reaching out to the fans in such down-to-earth REAL ways. What a great chat! Thank you very much for making the transcript available!

   i think pam’s cool little fact we find out is that she has a tattoo no one knows about. and the office finds out and through the whole episode people are trying to figure out what it is. that would make for a fun time. :]

   What a great interview! Unfortunately, I missed it. I would’ve hoped for someone to ask what her thoughts were on the new Office spin-off and perhaps if this is related to an Office character leaving Scranton.

   Thanks Jenna and Tanster! :)

    I think Andy will leave after Angela breaks up with him and returns to her beloved Dwight!!!

    This was so nice of Jenna to do! All this new Office info is great.

    But I hope to God it’s not Ryan leaving. Please, please, anyone but Ryan. I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch anymore if he goes.

    I hope Jim doesn’t leave Dunder Mifflin! It will be weird not having him there. I already dealt with that once before I don’t want him to leave again…okay maybe im being a little selfish. I don’t want him leave….just yet…it makes me sad to say that!

    66. Diane B.  Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 | 3:52pm

    I think it is Jan who is gone at the end of the season.

    Awww, I wish I could’ve been there, but seeing as the chat took place at 3am my time and I had school today, it unfortunately wasn’t possible.

    Jenna seemed really sweet though, I really enjoyed reading the transcript, thank you so much for posting it.

    64. WhitestSneakers  Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 | 2:49pm

    I would think it’s Angela that briefly leaves. The *real* Angela will be awfully busy this fall with a little one.

    Last night was all kinds of awesome! Thanks to Tanster for putting the chat together and for Jenna taking time to talk with us. The show and everyone involved are truly one in a million and that’s why they are the best in/on tv!!!

    So nice of Jenna to take the time and chat with fans!! (I only wish I had’ve known about it, though. :( Hopefully there will be a “next time.”)
