'The Office' star detailed her firing from LeBlanc's sitcom 'Man With a Plan' that ran for four seasons on CBS.
“They said, this is a literal quote, they said, ‘I don’t believe Pam would marry Joey. The chemistry doesn’t work between these two,’” Fischer, 47, told Kinsey. “That was the feedback they got.”“Yeah,” Fischer said. “So it wasn’t working for them that we got married and had a family.”Fischer shared with listeners that she learned she was fired from the series as she was packing for a trip for the show to premiere to the public at the CBS Upfronts.
“The first thing I said was, ‘Is it not getting picked up?’ And they said, ‘It’s worse than that, hun,"’ she explained."And I was like, ‘What’s worse than that?’ They said, ‘It’s getting picked up, but without you.’ And I was like, ‘Wow, I guess I’ll unpack my suitcase.’” Fischer starred in the pilot episode for “Man With A Plan,” which ran for four seasons from 2016 to 2020. Ultimately, Liza Snyder replaced her to star opposite LeBlanc's character Adam Burns as his wife, Andi.
