Jenna Fischer

Reason of Firing
Jenna Fischer explained why she was fired from the CBS sitcom "Man with a Plan," which starred Matt LeBlanc.

During the latest episode of the "Office Ladies" podcast, Fischer sat alongside her cohost, Angela Kinsey, to open up about her brief time on the sitcom. The series was launched in 2016 after LeBlanc, 53, had already risen to fame as Joey Tribbiani on "Friends" and Fischer starred as Pam Beesly on "The Office."

According to Fischer, she was initially cast as LeBlanc's on-screen wife in the series and appeared in a pilot episode. She recalled how the network requested "more scenes," but the situation shifted after focus groups reacted to the TV couple.

"They liked me, but they said — this is a literal quote — 'I don't believe Pam would marry Joey.' The chemistry doesn't work between these two," Fischer said. "That was the feedback they got."

"They could only see you as Pam and Joey," Kinsey, who played Angela Martin on "The Office," said.
