Jenna Fischer Says Producers Took Cast Input For The Series Finale Of 'The Office' (VIDEO)

'Office' Producers Gave Cast Input Into The Finale
|

Jenna Fischer visited the "Late Show" where she talked about the upcoming end of her show, "The Office." She told David Letterman that, as a fan, she's very satisfied with the ending of the long-running series.

Letterman asked her if the show's producers talked to the cast members about how they might like their character's stories to end, and it turns out they did.

"They did actually interview each cast member and ask us what would make us happiest, what our characters’ dream-come-true might be, and they weaved a lot of those suggestions into the end," Fischer said.

And there may yet be a happy ending for fans of Michael Scott. Despite earlier reports to the contrary, more recent rumors are that Steve Carell will make a cameo appearance in the series finale.

Find out if he does when "The Office" series finale airs May 19 at 9 p.m. ET on NBC. Ironically, it airs the same night as the launch of Jenna Fischer's next gig. She'll be appearing on stage in New York in the play "Reasons to Be Happy."
