The Office: Jenna Fischer Reveals What Was In The Note That Jim Wrote To Pam

One enduring mystery from US version of The Office was what, exactly, was written in the note that Jim (John Krasinski) intended to give to Pam (Jenna Fischer) in a Season 2 episode.

If you need a refresher, Jim, fuelled by the Christmas spirit of telling people how you really feel, wanted to give his romantic interest Pam the perfect gift that summed up how he felt. He knew she liked tea, so he bought her a teapot and stuffed a number of other personal items into it, including a note.

However, at the last minute, Jim removes the note. We don't see the note again until the final season of The Office, when Jim finally gives Pam the card--it's a very emotional scene. Still, though, the contents of the note remained a mystery. Until now.

On her Office Ladies podcast (via Entertainment Weekly), Fischer revealed that the note contained a message from John Krasinski written to Jenna Fischer as opposed to being a note from Jim to Pam.

"I'm on camera, and I open up the note that John had given me, and I just start crying," Fischer said.

She said showrunner Greg Daniels told Krasinki to write a farewell message to Fischer, because The Office was coming to an end and it meant so much to both of them. Krasinski reportedly wrote in the note about how special it was to work with Fischer for so long on a project that helped push both of their careers to new heights.

Fischer is keeping the specific contents of the message a secret, but now we finally know more about it, and that's exciting for fans of The Office. "I'll never say exactly what John wrote, but just know that it was perfect," Fischer said.

Another fun fact to know is that Fischer read the note for the first time on camera, and she cried her eyes out. "The first take was probably not usable," she said on the podcast, according to BuzzFeed.

A reboot of The Office is reportedly in the planning stages with a new cast. In other news, NBCU recently paid $500 million to take The Office away from Netflix and release it on its own streaming service, called Peacock, starting in 2021.
