Jenna was interviewed about her new movie, A Little Help, and talked a bit about season eight at the end.
How do you feel about the addition of James Spader to The Office, and what are you looking forward to, in working with him?
FISCHER: I’m excited about it. I think it’s great. There’s been some confusion with some people thinking he’s taking Steve’s role, but he’s not. He’s taking Kathy Bates’ role. He’s not going to be the new manager, but I’m excited. I’m going to miss Kathy because she was a hoot. Oh my gosh, she was amazing! But, James is great, too. I think that it’s going to be really good.
Honestly, right now, the only thing that I’m really sad about with Steve leaving is that we would get our hair and make-up done next to each other. When I imagine going back to work in two weeks, I’m going to be so sad that he’s not going to be sitting there and he’s not going to tell me what he did this summer and ask me what I did this summer, which is what we did, like kids coming back from summer vacation. So, I might have to drive to his house and ask him what he did this summer ‘cause I really want to do.
I’m not allowed to say, but I know who they manager is. It’s a secret. They haven’t revealed it yet, but it’s a great choice and I think it’s going to be neat. We’re being forced to shake things up, which is a nice thing. We won’t be repeating ourselves this year, that’s for sure. It will be different.
Are they going to incorporate your pregnancy into your character?
FISCHER: They are, yes. Pam will be pregnant. If you remember, Pam and Jim had sex in the office on Valentine’s Day, and it turns out that they conceived a child. Apparently, they are very good at getting pregnant on accident.
