While writing the book, she was actually fired from what she thought would be her next great comedy and dream job, CBS’ “Man With a Plan.” Though “The Office” may have been a turning point for Fischer’s career, she notes that an actor’s life is never fully smooth sailing.
“He was always really good it’s hour seven and we’re losing steam, and he would get a second wind and just rally us all into hysterics again.” It wasn’t long before Fischer was on the other side of the TCAs, though, as an actress on new shows, like “The Office,” from which a favorite memory to this day is still filming big group conference scenes because “John Krasinski would always come out of his shell” during those moments, she shares. “So you might have noticed in the book I do speak a lot about food - how to find food, how to get food on the set.” The aspiring actress wasn’t just looking to network with execs and her peers but rather eat the free food and drinks because “I didn’t have a lot of access to food because I was a poor, struggling actress,” she says.

She realized she had so much more she wanted to share, including lessons from her earliest days working as an extra in an ad for the “Jurassic Park” water ride at the Universal Studios theme park, which she booked only being in Los Angeles for 48 hours.
