(The debut episode is out on October 16.)
You listening, NBC executives?
With the launch of your podcast, itll now be 14 years after the debut of the show.
I hope Angela and Dwight are happy wherever they are.
I like to think they made a lot more Schrutes.
Theyre somewhere being their annoying selves in love.
I hope Pam is expressing herself somehow artistically that would be my big dream for her.
That she found a job or a way to keep doing her art.
Does she have an Etsy shop?
I imagine you both have been inundated withOffice-revisiting ideas in various mediums since its end.
Nobody has pitched me a particularly bad thing.
AK:Same for me.
I think the podcast came along at a perfect time because of the 15th anniversary.
Its the anniversary, so lets reminisce and share the memories with the fans.
JF:Were talkers!
AK:Were chatty!
JF:The podcast medium is perfect for our personalities.
AK:I was a tiny chatterbox in her ear.
Jenna was so nice, and she was the closest female that I was sitting next to.
Id get up on my tippy-toes and be like, Jenna, hellooooooo.
JF:She was literally the closest person to my desk.
I was very lonely at reception.
People would often stand in front of me and have conversations, but not talk to me!
It would drive me crazy.
When I was a real receptionist when I first moved to Los Angeles it would drive me crazy.
And then it happened to me again fictionally!
It just never ended.
I remember being so happy she was right over that partition and was always someone I could talk with.
AK:We would talk all day long.
Then we would get in our cars and continue our conversation and talk the whole car ride home.
JF:Thats when we could say all the stuff we couldnt say on set.
Talkin gossip that you didnt want people to overhear.
Rainn was like, What else could you possibly talk about?!
You guys have been literally talking the entire day!That was our defining friendship moment for me.
Did your close friendship ever influence how Pam and Angela were written for the show?
Every time we had a scene together, we wouldnt be able to stop laughing.
AK:Even at the most basic sentences, we would crack up.
JF:It was bad.
We would waste so much time laughing!
We couldnt get through that scene.
JF:There was that pregnant story line, too, where a potential friendship was teased.
It was funny naming our babies the same name.
Theyknewwe were a great team.
Do you two useOfficeGIFs a lot with family and friends?
Or have any go-tos within your online lexicon that arent necessarily of your characters?
AK:Yup, same with me.
Im in a thread chain with a lot of family members, and were all very close.
One of my cousins loves texting meOfficeGIFs, so I send him a lot in return.
JF:My two favorite Pam GIFs are her going, YupandI just want to eat.
Is there anOfficetext chain for the entire cast?JF: The Officecast sadly isnt GIFing each other.
Theres not a set text chain or anything, but we all truly text each other all the time.
AK:I have so many mini chains.
I have an accounting text thread, just with Oscar and Brian.
Theres one with Jenna and Kate.
I text Phyllis Smith a lot.
Rainn also texts us a lot.
Okay, I have some specificOfficequestions Id love to ask.
The Christmas parties are iconic.
The yankee swap one was pretty amazing.
AK:Ah yes, the party where I shriek and stomp on ornaments.
Any of the Christmas parties are my pick.
And the Benjamin Franklin bachelorette party.
Im a huge Jam fan.
I wanted them to figure their stuff out and find one another and be together.
JF:But theres something so satisfying about two oddballs finding their match.
AK:Hands down, in the history of the show.
The size of a small computer monitor.
I took a photo and sent it toeverybodywho was in that episode, the memories flooded back.
Jan with the candles?
JF:And when Dwights babysitter shows up.
It was one too many things.
I truly couldnt control myself.
I understand why fans are upset its moving off Netflix.
Id say Im sorry, and I hope NBC gives the show an easy transition.
JF:Thats our big idea.
JF:Working with all those people.
I want to be back in a room with them so badly.
We want a reunion.
Wed like a reunion special.
Wed been tossing around ideas, but its ultimately not up to us.
We dont own this show.
We can want it as much as the fans do, but its in the hands of …
I dont even know who its in the hands of.
AK:Newsflash: Jenna Fisher and Angela Kinsey arent in charge.
But if they were, there would be a really fun, one-time reunion special.
JF:Were doing our best!
Were working on it!
