Jenna Fischer recalls Man With a Plan firing her as Matt LeBlanc's on-screen wife
-
Fischer explained on this week's Office Ladies podcast how Angela Kinsey saved her from giving herself bangs, after her managers, agents and reps called with the bad news just days before she was set to head to New York for upfronts for the CBS comedy. "The first thing I said was, 'Is (Man with a Plan) not getting picked up?'" Fischer recalled, according to EW. "And they said, 'It's worse than that, hun.' 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… Yeah, I almost cut bangs in my hair that day… You stopped me." Fischer's firing was blamed on a lack of chemistry with LeBlanc. But Fischer had kind words for LeBlanc on the podcast, saying he was "very nice." At the time, LeBlanc said he that her firing "was above my pay grade."
