Jenna Fischer was forced to walk out in a towel on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live'—but ended up rocking it
Best known for her role as Pam Beesly in 'The Office,' Jenna Fischer surely knows how to turn heads. In 2018, while appearing on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' Fischer was forced to ditch her planned outfit after a wardrobe malfunction. However, being the professional she is, Fischer decided to continue on in a rather unusual piece of clothing.
Fischer made a lasting impression as she walked onto the stage wearing only a towel, as per The Things. The actress shared, "So this was my outfit tonight. And I waited too long to get dressed, and then my zipper broke, and I panicked. I am a Missouri girl and the show must go on."

Despite her confident entrance, Fischer admitted feeling uneasy about the situation. She joked, "I am mentally a little freaking out that I am on a talk show in a towel, but I am physically very comfortable." Host Kimmel didn't really help either with his words. He remarked, "I feel like I ran into you at the spa like we are at a destination wedding together and you went to get a massage and I am waiting to get a massage and you came out and I am like, 'Oh hey, how’s it going?' and it’s a little bit weird."
Fans, on the other hand, were in awe of Fischer's daring wardrobe choice. On YouTube, a viewer opined, "That's confidence! Pam has come a long way from those button-up shirts." Another chimed, "She's such a wonderful woman. I am so happy for her." In a similar vein, a comment also read, "The funny thing is she looks great, and without mentioning it, 98% of us wouldn't have known she was in a towel. Haha."

Meanwhile, a fan gushed, "I love Jenna’s dress. It’s so subtle and still really nice because anything goes on her. She is such a savage to wear a towel on a show." Another echoed, "MY KWEEN!!!!!!
