Jenna Fischer interviewed in Playboy for 21 Questions

Okay, we admit it. We love Jenna Fischer here at Pop Critics. That’s why we dedicated an entire blog post to saying Happy Birthday to her, and now we’re letting you know about a simple interview she did for Playboy Magazine.

Usually this is a NSFW type of thing, but the excerpts and highlights of the interview are on Office Tally, so you can read it safely without worrying about security at work escorting you out through the door later today.

One thing that I found interesting is that her real name is Regina, which caused a slight bit of turmoil in high school when a substitute teacher pronounced it, “Reg-eye-na.”

I think Jenna is better anyways.

Read some of the highlights at Office Tally, and check out the 21st Question below, taken from the magazine’s site so YOU don’t have to visit it.

THE 21ST QUESTION:
So, growing up, were you a good girl or a bit wild?

FISCHER:
When I was a high school senior, I used to work at Long John Silver’s. I had to wear a visor. If I wanted to stay out, I would tell my parents that I had to close. My curfew was midnight, but we closed at 1:30 in the morning. Then I’d get off at 10:30 and I’d go out with my boyfriend until 1:30. One night, I got home at 2:30, and I wasn’t wearing my work uniform. I walked in the door wearing boxers and a T-shirt. It was summer. My dad came downstairs and said, “Where have you been?” I used to sleep in boxers and a T-shirt, so this wasn’t so unusual. I said, “Oh, I just had to go out to my car and get my work uniform because I spilled malt vinegar on it and I have to work in the morning. I need to throw it in the washer.”

My dad said, “So if I go outside and touch the hood of your car it’s not going to be warm, huh?” I was like, “Ummm…yeah it is…. Okay. Here’s what happened. After work, my friend Ellen was really upset so I drove over to her house and, Dad, you don’t understand because she was really upset because her boyfriend was so mean to her.” I did this whole waterworks display, about “You can’t keep me from my best friend and I didn’t want to call because it was already one o’clock.” Then for some reason I offered the information, “And the reason I’m wearing these boxers and a T-shirt is because Ellen let me borrow them. They’re hers.”

He was like, “Whatever. You’re grounded.”

I got it. It made sense. I accepted it. Of course, they took the car keys. Where am I gonna go? That’s what happens when you get caught. What I learned was be better about it next time so you don’t.
