Christmas With The Fischers - a podcast by Matt Sommer

The LA Times did a cover story today on where to celebrate Christmas in the Los Angeles area, and they asked Jenna Fischer for some ideas.

From the article:



YOU can imagine the poor schlubs from "The Office" throwing their annual office party.



"If Pam was planning it," says Jenna Fischer, imagining her role as the
receptionist on the popular television series, "she'd probably book it
at Poor Richard's. Poor Richard's is a real place in Scranton, and it
also has a bowling alley attached. So it would actually be ideal
because everyone from the office could eat and then bowl together."


It might get a lot of laughs, and surely it would turn out badly, as things invariably do on the beloved sitcom.



But it's much more festive to imagine Fischer, the ascendant actress,
feting and feeding her family and friends from the Midwest in the warm
confines of Vitello's Italian Restaurant in Studio City, as she has in
years past. It's likely to remind her of the family eateries in her
adopted hometown of St. Louis -- and "great, because you can be loud in
their private area upstairs," she says.



Indeed, the holiday season is upon us, and with it the desire to make
merry outside the home . . . in a manner that doesn't involve days of
preparation or hours of cleanup. But how to do so without subjecting
the general populace to your obnoxious co-worker Michael's bad Santa
jokes? You can reserve a private room at any number of Los Angeles bars
or restaurants and party like a star, or at least a
Midwesterner-made-good.
