JENNA FISCHER REVEALS HUGE NEWS ON ‘THE OFFICE’ AND NAMES HER BIGGEST HOLLYWOOD RIVAL ON ‘THE JEFF PROBST SHOW’ THURSDAY, JANUARY 24
Fischer Also Recounts Her First Audition For the Show, and Dishes On What Her Castmates Are Really Doing on Their Computers On “The Office”
LOS ANGELES, January 23, 2013 – Jenna Fischer of NBC’s “The Office” reveals big news on THE JEFF PROBST SHOW on Thursday, January 24 that “Office” fans will for the first time meet the people behind the documentary, beginning with the episode airing that night.
“This week is the episode in which you will see behind the scenes of the documentary for the first time,” says Fischer. “We’re going to pull back the curtain, and you know the show’s premise is we are a paper company that’s being documented by a documentary film crew; you’re gonna start meeting members of that documentary crew starting this week.”
In the interview, Fischer also talks to host Jeff Probst about her pre-”Office” days and how it seemed every time she went on an audition, she would lose the role to actress Alyson Hannigan.
“I had been knocking around Los Angeles for eight years going to various auditions and I would do eight auditions for a new television show and then at the very end they would offer the role to Alyson Hannigan,” reveals Fischer. “She was my biggest competition…I would get to the final audition and I’d go, ‘I know I’ve got this one’ and then she’d walk in the door and I’d go ‘nope.’”
Fischer also discusses the wonderful chemistry she has with her co-star John Krasinski, who plays her on-screen husband and co-worker Jim Halpert. She tells Jeff about auditioning for the series and knowing instantly there was something special about Krasinski, after being paired with four different actors vying for the role: “He was my favorite Jim…When they called me and said I got the role, I said ‘Who is Jim? Did you cast John Krasinski?’ and they said ‘Yes’ and I started crying because I knew it would be good…I can’t do Pam without him. In the way you need the right partner to have a great marriage, I needed the right co-star to have this relationship.”
Later in the show, Fischer speaks about being a first-time mom to her toddler son Weston (“I love it 100% of the time”), and shares stories from behind the scenes at “The Office,” including how she became best friends with co-star, Angela Kinney, and what the actors are doing when they appear to be working in the background on the show: “They got us internet, so around the holidays we do our online Christmas shopping. I think Phyllis (Smith) pays her bills online.”
Hosted by five-time Emmy winner Jeff Probst, THE JEFF PROBST SHOW entertains and engages viewers with stories about people living to the fullest, and saying “Yes” to life with every opportunity they get.
THE JEFF PROBST SHOW airs weekdays. Check local listings for stations and times or visit jeffprobst.com. The show is produced and distributed by CBS Television Distribution. Jeff Probst is host and executive producer; Amy Coleman is executive producer.

John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer talk with AccessHollywood.com’s Laura Saltman about “The Office” series finale, but will fans be satisfied with how Jim and Pam’s epic romance will come to an end? Also, would they consider doing a spin off series?

The “Thank You” will be on behalf of The Office fans from around the world.
The Affiliates have joined together for this project, and are looking for the support of fans everywhere to make it happen. We are aiming to raise $4590 to place a full page ad in the publication. The Hollywood Reporter has been gracious enough to give us a significant discount, with the actual ad space being worth much more than this.
If we are not able to raise the appropriate funds, or should we raise any excess funds, the collected or exceeded amount will be donated to the Make A Wish Foundation, a charity that The Office cast has supported for several years. Thank you to Jenna Fischer for providing us with this charity suggestion.
We are taking our donations through PayPal to fund this endeavor. You can donate by simply clicking below:
The donations are being collected through Simply Jenna Fischer’s business account on PayPal. A small portion of the funds collected will be held by PayPal for the use of their service, and all remaining will go directly to The Hollywood Reporter and Make A Wish Foundation. If you are unable or unwilling to use PayPal, but still wish to donate, please email donate@theofficethankyouproject.com to discuss an alternative payment method.Thank you so much for your donations!

The prize packs are filled with various nifty gifties from The Office. There are seven prize packs available, one for each month leading up to the April 30th deadline.
