Jenna Fischer looks back at getting fired from CBS’ Man With a Plan

Variety

The former Office star didn’t learn that she would be dropped in the role of Matt LeBlanc’s wife until the day of CBS’ announcement picking up the show. She recalls being told, “they’re picking up the show but focus groups didn’t love the chemistry between you and Matt LeBlanc — they didn’t believe you as a couple — and since it’s Matt’s show they’re obviously not replacing Matt. So they’ll be replacing you.”
