It’s true. With help from our partners at FX's hit show Archer, everyone’s favorite human resources director, Pam Poovey, makes her SI Swimsuit debut in the 2016 issue and the photo is a memorable one. Dressed in an emoji-filled one-piece with cutouts on the side, Pam looks right at home in the pages of SI Swimsuit in a print ad. The ad appears opposite a photo of Chanel Iman … and we can’t tell which we like more.

But that’s not all. While Pam may have made the print issue, she wasn’t the only Archer star to show off her swimsuit bod.

Lana Kane and Cheryl Tunt also stripped down for an exclusive SwimDaily photo shoot and the results are stunning. Lana sets Willemstad on fire in a jaw-dropping brown two-piece. Cheryl, meanwhile, brings new meaning to the term “hand bra” while posing on the beaches of Atlantic City. The photos were shot by the Duchess himself, Sterling Archer, and we're confident fans will like what they see.

As for Pam, we hope the success doesn’t get to her head. SI Swimsuit has been an American institution since its debut in 1954 but has never had someone with her grace on our pages. We only hope she comes back for an encore in 2017. Perhaps Lana and Cheryl will also find their way into the issue.

Be sure to check out the new season of Archer, premiering March 31 on FX.
