The Office’s Jim and Pam are one of the best TV couples ever written and actress Jenna Fischer has finally revealed what actually happened in one particularly heartfelt scene between herself and John Krasinski.
Fans of the show will remember in Season 2 of the show, during the “Christmas Party” episode, Jim had a note for Pam in the teapot he gave her as her secret Santa gift. However, at the final moment, he put it in his pocket so she didn’t read it.
But, in the penultimate episode of The Office, Jim finally gives Pam the note after giving her a video montage of their relationship.
It’s clear that the note is an emotional one, but we never found out what was actually written in it at the time.
Now, Fischer has revealed on her Office Ladies podcast with fellow Office co-star Angela Kinsey what was written in the note.
She revealed that the note was actually written from Krasinski to herself – similar to her goodbye with Steve Carell on the show which we couldn’t hear as he’d removed his microphones for the scene.
“I’m the only one who knows, and John [Krasinski] knows. In that episode in Season 9, I believe Greg [Daniels] suggested to John that he write a personal message from himself to me.
“Just saying what our time together on The Office meant to him. Because we were wrapping up filming. We were wrapping up the series. We were all so emotional at that time, you know. And so that was his goodbye,” she said.
In the episode, Pam found out about the note after expressing her fears to Jim that she wasn’t enough for him. After reading the note, Pam is at ease about her relationship.
Fischer revealed that the note was “perfect”, saying, “So, I’m on-camera, and I open up this note that John’s written to me, and I just start crying. I just start bawling.
“The first take was probably not usable. It was the sweetest note, and you know, on-camera Pam says, ‘I’ll never say what it said. But just know it was perfect.’ Well, I’ll never say exactly what John wrote, but I will say, just know it was perfect. So that was what was in the teapot note guys. It was a note from John to me.”
Now I’m crying just thinking of how cute these two are!
