And let’s be honest, who doesn’t love Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly? They’re one of the most beloved TV couples of all time.

Her insights into the on-screen romance with co-star John Krasinski are absolutely heartwarming!

Recalling the Magic of Their First Kiss

Jenna Fischer, now 43, took us back to the iconic “The Dundies” episode in Season 2, where Jim and Pam shared their very first kiss. In her book, she vividly describes the moment, painting a picture so clear that it feels like we’re right there with her. She writes, “When Jim walked away after that kiss, I felt completely transported into a new reality. I wasn’t just acting; I was Pam. I could feel her heart breaking as she spoke to her mother on the phone, confessing her love for Jim but unable to express it to him directly. Suddenly, Jim walked in, and everything changed. My heart felt like it might burst out of my chest. The moment he kissed me, it was perfection. The entire cast and crew felt it too. That moment was so real, so pure, it left an indelible mark on all of us.”

First Impressions: Meeting John Krasinski

Jenna also shared her memories of auditioning for The Office and meeting her future on-screen partner, John Krasinski, now 38. She wrote, “When I first walked into the audition room, I had no idea who John was. As I was being shown to the actor’s holding room, he was just being called in to read with another potential Pam. As he passed by, he introduced himself, and we shook hands. It was like lightning struck through the center of the room. There was an immediate connection, an energy that was undeniable.”

She continued, “John and I were walking out of an audition scene, and he suddenly turned to me and whispered, ‘You’re my favorite Pam. I hope you get this job.’ It was exactly as sweet and supportive as anything Jim would say to Pam. I smiled really big and said, ‘I’m so glad you said that because you’re my favorite Jim, and I don’t think anyone could do it except for you.’ That moment set the tone for the entire series. It was a partnership built on mutual respect and admiration, and it translated beautifully onto the screen.”
