Mindy was so convincing as Kelly Kapoor that I almost expected her to be that way IRL. But she's so different. So warm and down to earth. And super creative.
You should see Meredith/Kate then!
Lol...
I’m sure Kelly would’ve been a terrible writer. She probably would try to base a script on a Cosmo quiz 😂
Watch Late Night. Mindy is great in that as well.
I've known real life Kelly Kapoors, shes an excellent acress.
I still remember that Ryan used her as an object.
And that Michael wanted her to buy his cookie cookie
@@pedrofredo gookie gookie
first of all.... how dare you
Yeah but in the end he finally mastered commitment
@Alan Brown That's what she said
"I was making 500 dollars a week, but I felt like I owned the city." Now thats called having a rich life.
2,000$ a month is really good tbh... for the average person for sure
Again... the point of this comment was richness in happiness, not wealth.
dr jaymes 2,000 a month ain’t jack. But I think op meant that she had a rich life because she was fulfilled.
I think she said she SPENT 500 a week
Hannah Rachel Abraham Are you braindead?
Mindy was actually one of the very best writers on the show. Every episode that she has writing credits on I have died laughing at.
I wonder what jokes did she wrote lol
@@Janette388 one episode I know she wrote is when Michael grills his foot on his bacon grille lol
RemixedVoice wait she did that wow she is a good writer
Jackson Pactson she wrote the episode where stanley yelled at ryan when stanley brought his daughter to work
Payton Post oh my god what’s other shows has she written I need to watch more
“Uh yeah I have a question number one how dare you?”
He couldn't hear it all the way from Thailand !
Epic "Nooooooooooo" from Michael.. was also written by Mindy Kaling
Some of the best episodes were written by mindy AND BJ! “The fire”, “chair model”
Her and bj novak’s freindship is my favourite thing ever
they are a couple in real life too
@@wolverineiscool7161 were
He’s definitely baby daddy.
@@wolverineiscool7161 they aren't
They dated briefly in the early office days. Now they're basically families.
@@greenjeans7504 i think they are both good friends
Towards te end of The Office I remeber saying, "I´d watch a spinoff of Kelly and Erin". And it was them who got their own shows.
Theres also unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix Erin is in that
Foreigner theres a few that almost had spinoffs- "the farm" with dwight almost happened (would have been the real office spinoff)..
i could see a ryan & kelly spinoff, along the lines of mad about you...
would love to have seen a creed spin off too :)
I watch Angela and her husband on their TH-cam channel, they’re really entertaining😊
Erin was my least favourite main character
@@mattb5881 Hardly a main character but yeah- I did not like her at all, her pushover-ness was a real turn off that made all her jokes not that funny (which there wasn't a whole lot of to begin with)..
It's funny that the mastermind of the series is such an airhead in the show
Yup, she & BJ are huge factors of the behind the scenes of the office especially the writing aspect
Kelly Kapoor said “No one does anything for me anymore unless i threaten to kill myself”
and i live by that.
"Usually I just freak out and tell someone I'm pregnant."
jim: we are going to have to let you go
micheal scott: i am going to kill myself(bashes desk hard)....i am going to kill myself and its your fault
words to live by
That’s extremely unhealthy and toxic
@@DevyanshBahri That's a quote from her character on the show. Not a quote from her in real life. Yes, she's unhealthy and toxic on the show, but that's who her character is supposed to be.
@@brennam954 yep I know this person talking about her character from the show, but what this person’s comment is saying is that they live their actual life in that way: “and I live by that”
"Ryan used me as an object"
Ryan treats objects like women, man.
and men like watches
i always loved how ryan would respond to kelly's emotions like oh come on like jan with michael lol..it was so funny to me..like please not now not the time oh michael and oh kelly
Mindy's written episodes were one of the funniest
this is to true! some of my all time favourite episodes are written by Mindy. Niagara, The Injury, etc.
And BJ’s
BJ and mindy’s minds carried the show
I SO appreciate these interviews, especially when you interview women....I feel like this is literally the only time we see female stars asked questions about their career, rather than who they're dating, what's their ideal date, how do you juggle work and being a mom, etc etc.
Lacey Thiessen Writers in general are asked more in depth questions than actors
Lacey, I completely agree. It's so refreshing.
This is such a stereotypical thing to say its ridiculous. Any small interview like this they ask real questions. You're just to use to watching interviews on the cable network where they never ask anything real cause sheep like you would get angry
That's pathetic.. you really tried to make this one about gender? grow up
McFozan
Trumptard alert 🚨
Kelly Kapoor was so self-absorbed and annoying. I really wished to see more of her. She was such a favorite of mine.
I can't tell if this is an insult or a compliment...
I didn't know where you were going with that sentence...
I’m confusion
@@geckogeico2212 It means that the actress fared the character so well. Sometimes we need characters like this to make the show more polarizing.
I'm getting April (Parks and Rec) vibes in here.
Without Mindy, The Office wouldn’t be the same! I seriously love her acts there.
This is such a great reminder that everyone, even mindy who's just the smartest and coolest ever, has tough times and feels insecure. she's so inspiring I love this and her :))
She is "cool as hell!" Mindy is one of my role models.
I love her!
Do whatever you want to your body.
She was my least favorite character in the office by far. Never really found her character funny. But she did write alot of funny shit for the show
John uh Jacobs
So then you stay ugly bitch
@@johnuhjacobs2438 Severe plastic surgery could be practical for playing poker.
I totally get what she is saying! and you can see it in her acting as well how scared and nervous she was in season 1. and she opened up so much in the later seasons to become such a strong character!
Insane the amount of success she's had, she's so talented! One of my inspirations as a brown girl
I thought she bleached her skin.
@@starshine684 what I've never heard of that
@@rawkrXbabee oh look it up, she’s having a feud with her family about it.
@@starshine684 I mean I don't blame her, the pressure is probably crazy and we don't know what she goes through being in hollywood. Plus being in a brown family I know darker-skinned family members deal with that pressure from their own mothers and aunties. But yeah that's kind of disappointing.
@@rawkrXbabee yeah, I can see why she did it. But it’s just disappointing as well. I hope she it least doesn’t regret her decision. But yeah it’s a little sad.
I think their perception of her has a lot to do with not being used to women who stand their ground. She probably was demure but to them it was "loud".
I was sad when I heard her say that. Maybe she doesn’t realize it
Exactly what i thought
I love every single Mindy Kaling The Office episodes. She has unreal talents
Mindy Kaling is one of the geniuses of TV. Her writing/acting is so damn hilarious!!!!
Sam is the one of the best interviewers today - his level of empathy brings out the truth of these celebrity experiences, but even as he points to Mindy's early successes, she only remembers the tough times and feeling excluded and alone. So funny how we glamorize success in Hollywood, but no matter the level of success in life, it seems we still all share the same insecurities and times of loneliness.
I'm happy that she is talking publicly about the old boys club. It's so prevalent and women feel like they can't talk about it because they're best shot is to stay silent and maybe, MAYBE, the boys club will include her once in awhile. To go up against the boys club usually means certain death.
hayleypdowd exactly! Well said 👏👏
haleypdowd .. you're actually making the way males interact with other males into a nasty thing. would you prefer the men to start behaving completely differently just because a woman turns up. women are always saying they want to be equal but then moan about males being males when they enter into their world. maybe women need to stop with their persecution complex and just get on with it.
@@colinglen4505 Persecution? The comment above yours is from a guy saying women aren't funny. This is the kind of shit thats prevalent. I'm sure women would love to "get on with it" but there's so many triggered assholes like you around.
@A M bollocks 🤣😭 you sir are Liar and a scoundrel.
@A M Yeah, I am sure you have. #whiteknight
Wow , disappointed to see so much negativity in the comment section talking about Mindy’s beautiful face!! She is so beautiful and talented and incredibly funny and nobody deserves to be treated with such disrespect. She is an accomplished writer, actress movie star and MOTHER! Put some respect on this amazing queen’s name. I love you Mindy!
I completely understand that people shouldn't be negative but I also believe that you shouldn't be positive on the situation. Mindy got surgery done because she thought it would make her beautiful, stay young etc. If people are so over positive or in your case say she has a beautiful face, young girls will look at her and think that they need to look like her in order to be beautiful. Of course no one should be judging her on it but we also shouldn't be praising her.
Nobody’s disrespecting her we’re just disappointed that she made herself look worse with lip injections.
Lauren Fredette
I agree. People can often be insensitive to how their comments would make others feel.
She's had plastic surgery and skin lightening. I believe she was beautiful before all that.
@@Katie-hr9fr white women do all kind of stuff to their face like botox and lip injections...no one ever makes a big deal about them. People love to pick on brown girls because they dont comply to eurocentric beauty standards
She was nervous and yet she wrote the best episodes of the office
Does she want me gooogi gooogi? you want my gooogii googi?
No one like the comment.... it’s at 69......
@@sapphiresushi3437 asturd??
Xddddddd Asturd. Oh my god 😂
*SLAP*
*slap*
I just finished the office and I’m like crying my life right now. Thank you for existing. Thank you!
"First of all....How dare you"
What made the show so special was that every single actor put his/hers heart it their character. Everyone assimes they are like that in real life.lol
My favorite character (besides Dwight and Michael) is Kelly Kapoor, she's so incredibly funny! And Mindy wrote my fav episode, The Injury, so I guess I really like her humour.
I don't know how I only discovered this channel now but thank you for putting up quality interviews.
I've read Mindy's books and I found her so inspiring in the sense that she uses her flavor of humor to talk about being a woman of color breaking into Hollywood and touches on the real difficulties there, but in such a genuine and witty way. As a woman of color with aspirations in the performing arts world she really gives me hope and inspires me. I love that she's out there doing her thing, being herself.
Mindy is amazing... I love her so much!! Especially since reading her books!
SHE IS SO BRILLIANT !!!! I LOVE HER
She's a very admirable woman. I think it takes a certain kind of intelligence to be able to write such iconic comedy.
Totally love her much respect deserves all the Success she gets.
And now I am realizing Late Nite movie the part about going in with no experience is probably based on that first experience. Life is what you have to write☺
0:10 her foot is at a dangerous angle
So weird not hearing her Kelly voice! She seems cool irl
She so smart and cute and cool all at the same time
I loved her so much in the Money project. She's great.
*Mindy. Damn autocorrect
She’s older than John (Jim) it’s so weird to think about and so is Pam and Ryan she just turned 40
Its really sad to me when a successful woman of color - one of the few Asian/brown women in the entertainment industry - is talking about her career & struggles & all other people can talk about is her appearance.
"woman of color" - you literally just defined her by her appearance.
Yes, she means "that brown woman", i.e. she defined her by her appearance, not character or accomplishments. What she should have said was "It's really sad when a talented writer is talking about her career and all other people can talk about is her appearance". But instead she called her a brown woman.
If you primarily identify and categorize people by their skin color you are a racist. It's that simple.
jajaja you dont even realize how racist your comment is, what a tool
This is the real world. If you get work done on your face or body, people are going to talk about it. Humans heavily rely on sight to survive. In addition to being a writer, she was also an ON SCREEN TALENT. Of course we are going to notice something different about her that isn't natural. You can be sad all you want but clearly Mindy herself cares very much about her appearance. She cared so much that she got work done and yes, I WILL judge her for that.
I absolutely love her! I could listen to her talk for years!
i really like this interviewer it seems like a genuine nice conversation
Love her so much. My favorite female comedian
Music starts/interview wraps up right when she starts to open up!
It's ironic that her agent at that time when she first got her interview for a writing job in The Offfice told her don't bother with it. Because The Office (us version) will tank and get canceled.
she always comes off super smart and charming. It makes her extremely attractive.
I love her.
I find this women is brilliant, and it makes me wonder... why all the plastic surgery? I know it's a personal decision but it seems like even the bravest most confident Hollywood women can't stay away from it. Where does this pressure come from?
Boat People Vintage I think this pressure comes from society in general. Women have always been pressured to look a certain way, have a certain body type and social media & celebrity culture this days isn't really helping the situation. But now more people are spreading body positivity but the negativity & the pressure are still present so even the strongest of us like Mindy can't escape.
Boat People Vintage As much as it is true that women feel pressured by the standards of society to fit in to a certain mold that is considered "a perfect body". Some women do get plastic surgery done for themselves and not due to societal pressures. As much as it is ideal to make every woman accept their flaws, at the end of the day it is their choice, which doesn't hurt anybody so why should we really care? I mean as long as they don't do it to please anyone else but themselves it really shouldn't be a problem.
When you have money you can afford to change things about your appearance you don’t like
who gives a fuck
And whats weird is that NO ONE finds it attractive. No guy says, "Oh you know what makes a woman hot? When she looks like her lips got stung by a bee and she can't smile or laugh properly". I honestly have no clue why so many women over 30 do this.... it looks shit and it's stupid. Wtf are you thinking?
Why is everyone in the comment section shaming her for having work done to her face? It's her choice. She looks fine. She made money doing what she's good at, writing. Which also happens to be what the video is about.
LoganTheLionheart she looks great and is a even better writer.
Her lips are swollen up. Her lower mouth/lip doesn't even coincide with the rest of her face. She doesn't look good. Actually she looks worse than before
Indygenous so what? Again this video is about what she is saying, not how she looks.
George Andrade 😂she looks fine? What are you her surgeon?
Then y'all wonder why women don't want to talk to you.
She's done a lot of great stuff, but even if she had just written "The Injury," that would still be pretty damn impressive.
an episode that established dwight and pam as friends..vital to the seires
when you find out kelly tobi and ryan are also writers of the show...
LOL
and mose
And Phyllis was a casting director!
Mindy was hilarious ! one of the best side actors ever ! in comedy hsitory !
I love the Mindy project too
Mindy is great. Love her!
She is a BOSS.
I love her so much
She directed most of my favourite and the best episodes, great writer
RYAN STARTED THE FIRE
the Niagara falls episode is one of my fav ones, well done mindy
I wish these interviews weren't so damn short.
I would have liked some questions about her acting. I thought she was brilliant as Kelly, especially since that was nothing like her actual persona. Did she have prior acting experience, etc...
She used to write and act in plays in NYC. That's how she got discovered.
my queeeeeen
The Harvard Lampoon has been churning out the same writer for 30 years
I just watched the movie 'late night' and this reminds me of it so much what she went through irl
Mindy is a trailblazer. It was not easy then to be a woman-let alone a woman of color-in a writers' room. The fact that she not only crushed as a writer on the Office, but went on to show-run two amazingly popular, critically hailed shows is huge for so many young women who aspire to do the same.
Is this a full version of this?
Love herrr
💛💜 Mindy!!! Super funny and intelligent!
She's my favorite character in the office!
Season One Kelly Kapoor was nothing like Season 2 and beyond. Most characters perfect themselves later on the show as the characters develop. She was awesome.✊💯
straight married father of 2 and Kelly is my fav character. That should tell ya how funny she is. She has the best lines. 98% of her lines are the funniest of the episode.
She’s so pretty
She is one of the few characters from the Office that never stuck with me. Creed too.
bruh
lesryglfohser I don’t understand this commment
@@asdabir Me neither.
Oh my gosh I love her
I couldnt even tell she had anything. I still cant. She looks great!
Was she a writer on the show? That’s awesome she’s now my favorite person
She wrote the most of all the writers. Something like 22 or 25 episodes. The next writer wrote about 16 and it goes down from there.
"Ryan used me as an object" - Kelly Kapur
kelly matured so much
Yeah I have a question...first of all how dare you
I had the biggest crush on Kelly Kapoor. The collagen is making me really sad
Daniel Carlin
Daniel Carlin Kelly was so obnoxious though lmao
I assumed it was because of the pregnancy. Beyonce looked like she had work done too but it was temporary.
Fatima B her lips have been like that for a while- sadly it isnt from the pregnancy. but you're right, bey's lips did swell with her last pregnancy
Yeah, Kelly was annoying in a lot of ways. But Mindy still managed to portray her in a dynamic way that also made the character endearingly cute in her self-centric antics.
I've always had a crush on Mindy myself... but Kelly? Not so much. Lol
Kelly was so realistic at first, and then turned into a caricature.
You can say that about literally EVERY character on the office. For me Kevin was the worst offender of this. He went from loveable dumb goofball to someone who seemed developmentally delayed lol
There will never be another show as brilliant as The Office. Greatest show of all time.
She did awesome job alongside of couple people to make the office
She is gorgeous
she looks ... different
God im so happy someone finally said it. She looks worse than she did before and i dont understand why no one stopped her or is telling her that it looks bad. I love her but god why did she do this.
I think she also got her skin bleached, she looked more brownish in "the office"
wouldnt that be due to age? I did a quick google and found out she's like 39.
And Kevin and Pam are 1 year apart, at 44 and 45.
dj b shut the fuck up and watch the interview. If she did so what.
Orangest Kevin is YOUNGER than Pam?! 🤯
Kelly is my role model, love her
I miss her original face 😭
What a mind !!
I Love Mindy's shoes!👡👡
‘Mose’ STUDIED AT HARVARD?????? WHAT??
Kelly Kapoor was so ridiculous lol. I've never watched the Mindy Show because I thought it would just more of that but I think I should give it a go
Nice interview, but why is it in black and white?
Because purple and orange would've given the viewer eye strain.
wait why can't I find this episode on netflix??
Queen!!
One thing I love about Mindy is she never fakes an Indian accent. I find it really frustrating when in Western media Indians are always shown talking with a very heavy accent, when honestly the ones who grew up here don't talk like that all. There's nothing wrong with having that accent, but when it's the only one depicted in the media it's a misrepresentation of the population
Love her
