Jenna Fischer rocks the OTCR
Sunday, April 6th, 2008JennaFischer: Even now, I’ll watch some coverage on E! about a Premiere I was at and I’ll think, “Oh wow! That looks like so much fun!” and then I think, “Oh yeah, I was there. I went home early and watched TV with my cat because I was bored.”
mg714: sounds like high school!
jen: You’re so awesome because you’re so down to earth.
upsidedown: I watch TV with my cat too. He’s good company
JennaFischer: It is almost exactly like high school. And it brings back all those nerves in me.
JennaFischer: I feel like a dorky girl trying to fit in.
saraadx3: You seem really down-to-earth Jenna. It’s so refreshing from all the fake people that seem to own Hollywood!
LovesItalianFood: Jenna is *awesome*
JennaFischer: That’s the thing … those people don’t own Hollywood. Very few actors have much power. Just the big ones.
JennaFischer: The people who own Hollywood are the brains behind the operation, not the pretty faces on the carpet.
tanster: this is definitely a special cast and staff. a show that will spoil you for all others
JennaFischer: And, a lot of those antics are easy to avoid.
mg714: well i think you and everyone on the show are considered the “cool table” :)
lemonade: Well, I’m glad my favorite show has such great people on it.
jojojo: Thank you Jenna for giving us your time tonight! We really appreciate it and LOVE The Office! : )
Jim Mosby: Thank you so much for taking time for us Jenna. I know that all of us in the Office fandom love and appreciate that from not only you but the rest of the cast. Thanks again!
JennaFischer: I like my show because it feels like the nerds just took over.
saraadx3: Well, it seems like you’re doin a great job!
ChillisBannedMe: Office nerds unite :)
JennaFischer: That’s right!
Annie: AMEN!
lemonade: As a nerd, I love that you just said that!
shan: Thanks Jenna! It was so nice of you to take the time to answer our questions.
GMMR (kath): Jenna, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us tonight. I’m not sure you’ll ever know just how much we all appreciate it.
Danny: thank you for coming in jenna
Mexicanity: Thanks Jenna! Have a great night and enjoy watching Law and Order!
JennaFischer: Thanks for watching and being so supportive of the show.
yarnseller: Thanks Jenna!
andilynn: Jenna, thanks so much for being here tonight! You’re fantastic :)
JennaFischer: Seriously … this grass roots internet frenzy kept us on the air more than you probably realize.
JennaFischer: We owe you guys a lot.
tanster: We are happy to be a part of it :)
JennaFischer: And we plan on making the show for as long as they will let us!
padean83: Thank you for appreciating your fans!
tanster: A big thank you to Jenna for visiting us today! We are all thrilled that the show returns next week. Thanks for giving us the inside scoop! Tallyheads, I should have a full transcript available by early morning. Thanks again, Jenna!
JennaFischer: Nerd Power!
JennaFischer: Bye!




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 =)
78 | prisonmike Tue. Apr. 22, 2008 at 12:26pmok well i know that neither pam or michael are leaving. i will DIE if jim leaves!!!!!!!!! omg maybe it will be andy or angela. it couldn’t be dwight, right….hmmm….maybe it could ;)
77 | missa Mon. Apr. 21, 2008 at 10:17pmIt’s totally Jan leaving!
76 | Kristen Wed. Apr. 16, 2008 at 2:28pmAfter 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.
75 | Gracie Wed. Apr. 9, 2008 at 5:18pm#73 - Ten bucks says it’s a Muppet Babies tattoo :)
74 | Tiffany Wed. Apr. 9, 2008 at 6:49amI 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!
73 | buyMEacoke,Jim! Tue. Apr. 8, 2008 at 7:28pmi 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. :]
72 | the money beet Tue. Apr. 8, 2008 at 6:30pmyay, love Jenna
71 | italianfood Tue. Apr. 8, 2008 at 7:19amWhat 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! :)
70 | Tony Westfall Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 6:37pmI think Andy will leave after Angela breaks up with him and returns to her beloved Dwight!!!
69 | Jamie Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 4:59pmThis 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.
68 | blacklamb Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 4:55pmI 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!
67 | ShamuKid Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 4:17pmI think it is Jan who is gone at the end of the season.
66 | Diane B. Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 3:52pmAwww, 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.
65 | Sonni Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 3:36pmI would think it’s Angela that briefly leaves. The *real* Angela will be awfully busy this fall with a little one.
64 | WhitestSneakers Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 2:49pmTHE TV GUIDE COVER IS OUT!!!!!!
63 | Pam Scherbatsky Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 2:46pmLast 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!!!
62 | Mexicanity Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 2:27pmThanks for your great admin skills, Tanster. It was a fun chat! Thanks also for letting some yarnseller comments through!
61 | Mintdwight? Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 2:19pmSo 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.”)
60 | Caroline Mon. Apr. 7, 2008 at 2:16pmplease tell me it’s not jim that leaves!! anyone but him and pam.!!! someone reassure me..please.
