In The Office, I didn’t get that many opportunities to go, Yeah, I’m completely willing to do stuff for comedy.” To make up for it, the first three episodes of The Mindy Project have seen her character picked up by the cops, hung-over and mascara-smeared after having been shamed by a Barbie doll in a pool punched in the face, from which she emerged bloody and broken-nosed and ordering red wine with ice at a nightclub. I just thought, This is the funniest, coolest thing ever. “Do you remember that episode of 30 Rock where Liz got the cheap Lasik and starts crying out of her mouth?” Kaling asked us later. Subverting the usual sitcom tradition of outrageous costumes by looking purposefully terrible is part of Kaling’s comedy philosophy of never being afraid to look terrible. A few hours after that, she changed into a new mash-up getup: Lil Wayne on the Prairie - because even TV Mindy comes to realize that just getting tarted up for Halloween is ultimately kind of lame. Mindy’s idea of a hot costume is Sexy Mailman, a postal-carrier uniform paired with a ridiculously short shirt, fishnet stockings, and heels. Judging by the costume her character was wearing, she was keeping the streak going: Dr. Jeremy (Ed Weeks, Olicia Lee: Dirty, Sexy, Funny)“Every week, I’ve looked very foolish,” Mindy Kaling said in late August when Vulture visited the set of The Mindy Project’s Halloween episode, which airs tonight at 9:30 on Fox. Mindy (Mindy Kaling, Parks and Recreation)ĭanny (Chris Messina, Vicky Christina Barcelona) As Mindy attempts to get her career off the ground and meet a guy who passes her red flag test (no drug habits, no skinny jeans and no secret families, among others), only time will tell if she gets her romantic comedy ending. Mindy is in constant communication with her beloved best friend from college, Gwen Grandy, who also happens to be the governor’s daughter. Rounding out the office staff are the receptionists – Betsy Putch young, earnest and easily excitable, who thinks the world of Mindy and is always trying to impress her and Shauna Dicanio, a self-assured Jersey Girl who is indifferent to Mindy, always knows where the cool party is and carries a poorly concealed torch for Danny. Danny criticizes her for everything, including her struggling love life and her lack of professionalism – even though it’s obvious to everyone except Mindy that he secretly admires her work. In contrast, Danny Castellano is a hothead and guys’ guy who has a habit of stealing Mindy’s patients. He is funny, self-absorbed and super sexy. Jeremy Reed is the walking definition of "bad news." He not only shares a practice with Mindy, but sometimes her bed as well – despite her best efforts to resist. Mindy is a skilled OB/GYN and shares a practice with a few other doctors, none of whom make life any easier for her. Mindy is determined to be more punctual, spend less money, lose weight and read more books – all in pursuit of becoming a well-rounded perfect woman… who can meet and date the perfect guy. Funny, impatient and politically incorrect, Mindy Lahiri can quote every romantic comedy starring Meg Ryan. The Mindy Project is a comedy from Emmy Award®-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling that follows a woman who, despite having a successful career, desperately needs to break bad habits in her personal life.
