What’s the key to being successful in doing all those, especially when you are doing it all on one series? You’re billed as the quadruple threat you’re an actor, you’re a writer, you’re a producer, and you’re a director. It sounds like a long schedule, but because it’s my show and because I’m working with essentially all my best friends, it feels like a very grueling vacation, if that makes sense.

I wrap, usually around five or six at night and in between writing stuff, I will go check in with the writers and then I stay between ten and midnight hanging out with them. There’s nobody, except for me, so I wait until they get there a little while later. It’s like The Walking Dead when I first show up. They get in around 10 a.m., and I’ve been acting for a couple hours and am always excited to see them, because when I get to work, it’s like a ghost town. My God, this is so boring, I can’t believe it. Drive to work, listen to some Justin Timberlake in the car on the way there. I have family and friends on the East Coast, so I’ll answer texts from them. I walk like a zombie to my shower and take a shower. Typical day? Typical day is I wake up between 5:30 and 6:00 in the morning. Since you wear so many hats on The Mindy Project, what is it like to be you in a typical day, right now? And to me, seeing people like that redeem themselves is much more appealing than kind of just – a lot of romantic comedies use this kind of generic, boring, kind of good looking love interest, and he’s certainly the anti that. He is a weirdo he comes out a little strong, he’s a little off-putting. It’s been really fun shooting with Tommy, because on the surface, he just looks like this handsome, 90210 kind of character, but we’re playing him as a little bit of a weirdo. I just shot with him last night, and I’m shooting with him again today. Is this going to be a little romance that we’re going to see play out for a little bit?

In the last episode we saw, you kind of had a nice little spark with Tommy Dewey, who played Josh. with the episode, “Halloween.” Kaling recently took the time to speak with press about her popular new series, where she discussed wearing multiple hats as the show’s star, creator, and executive producer if she would like her former Office co-stars to appear on her show and shared some scoop about tonight’s episode. Tonight, The Mindy Project returns at 9:30 p.m. Created by Mindy Kaling, the show has already received an order for nine more episodes this season. The New FOX Tuesday lineup has made quite a splash this fall season with the new show, The Mindy Project.
