‘The Office’s Jenna Fischer Admits Some Of Her “Favorite Episodes” Are After Steve Carell Left


Despite being the "World's Best Boss," Jenna Fischer thinks 'The Office' did just fine without Steve Carell.

Carell starred as Michael Scott from the show’s premiere in 2005 until 2011, when a rotating guest spot replaced the supervisor, featuring Will Ferrell, James Spader and Catherine Tate. Fischer played Dunder Mifflin receptionist and struggling artist Pam Beesly for the entirety of the show’s nine-season run, which concluded in 2013. In series creator Greg Daniels’ upcoming Peacock spin-off The Paper, the same documentary crew follows Domhnall Gleeson as the eager publisher of The Truth Teller, a struggling Toledo, Ohio newspaper, which he tries to revive with the help of volunteer reporters.
