But after the credits rolled on season nine finale Jennifer found herself being "hit pretty hard" by her emotions.
In an Instagram video, the mother-of-three cried as she explained why she was so upset.
Wearing a Dunder Mifflin T-shirt in honor of the comedy show, Jennifer sobbed as she said: "My kids and I have been watching..."
Slowing the footage right down, she continued talking in a slo-mo voiceover-style.

Laughing, Jennifer could be heard saying: "You'll never guess what show the kids and I have watched an episode a day of throughout quarantine? And guess what? We finished it. And guess what? It gave me some really big feelings."
She added: "Oh bless her heart. Oh my goodness. Look who needed a big cry and maybe a shower would have been helpful. But it's just nice to know you can still, just, feel so much passion about something, right?!
"So thank you. If you've ever heard of this show, The Office, you should try it. It's wonderful."
Jennifer filmed her video while sat in front of a rainbow sign, which read: "Thank you, Dunder Mifflin". Dunder Mifflin is the name of the paper factory where the sitcom is set.

She wrote on Instagram: "My kids and I have spent months piled on the couch working our way through 'How to Behave as Grownups' 🙅🏻♀️, aka #TheOffice.
"Apparently we are sensitive people - the finale hit us pretty hard.
"When I realized I’d accidentally shot my farewell testimonial in slo-mo I realized, your Monday might need this, too. 🙈👵🏼😬♥️♥️♥️ #thankyoucastandcrew #pleasecomeoverweloveyou #icantwithfinales."
Since posting the clip online, both The Office's Angela Kinsey and Jenna Fischer have got in touch.
