Video: Mindy Kaling on Letterman

by LiRa

Mindy was on Letterman last Thursday and she was very engaging in this interview:

  • She mentioned about being given a nickname after the character on the TV series Mork and Mindy.
  • She talked about growing up Indian and having to take roles of one, which was a bit difficult for her since she was actually born in the States.
  • She talked about her audition for Baby Mama where she felt she sounded like Apu from The Simpsons and proceeds to speak her lines. Her scene was cut from the movie.
  • She speaks about her writing career and how Greg Daniels discovered her.
  • She gushes about Jennifer Lopez.
  • Much of her Kelly character seems to be cropping up and overtaking Mindy.

And here’s a bonus video from OSU, with Mindy calling BJ on the cellphone and having hundreds of people hear their conversation:

One funny lady, this one! Listen to her stand-up material.
