10 Things You Didn't Know About Archer

10. Pam Was Supposed to Get Skinny Because of a Tapeworm

Remember when the agency became a drug cartel for a season? Yeah, that was wild. Ignoring the old adage "don't get high on your own supply", Pam got addicted to the cocaine and started taking so much of it that she lost most of her weight.

However, that was not the original plan they had for the character. Apparently, the writers first came up with the idea of Skinny Pam "just to see what she would look like" and started writing around that. They initially thought to give her a tapeworm as the cause of her weight loss, but eventually changed their minds.

A lot of the jokes about Pam in the earlier seasons were focused on her weight and sometimes she was on the verge of becoming a stereotypical "fat girl" character, so this change -- even if it was temporary -- gave us a welcome shift in the dynamic of the show. Can you imagine how different season five would have been without the cocaine?
