We already knew that John C. Reilly, Jack McBrayer, Sarah Silverman, and Jane Lynch were lending their voices to Disney's video games movie Wreck-it Ralph but now more names are coming out. Mindy Kaling will be voicing Taffyta Muttonfudge (haha, of course), Sarah Silverman's nemsis in Sugar Rush, the racing game they're in. Steve the Pirate aka Alan Tudyk will play King Candy, one of the rulers in Sugar Rush. Horatio Sanz and Adam Corolla (whose character probably thinks both Sarah and Mindy's characters are bad drivers) will play Sugar Rush security guards. Also, Rachel Harris, Ed O'Neil, and Dennis Haysbert will be there to add their [...]
Have you ever wondered what it's like to be an already very successful comedian, who has the most buzzed about sitcom pilot but still has to sweat it out, waiting to hear if it gets picked up? You have? Great, because Vulture had Mindy Kaling write an endearing, hilarious, enlightening, very Mindy Kaling diary of her past week of waiting to hear about the status of The Mindy Project. It's worth reading just for the description of Brian Grazer's pointy hair. Here's an excerpt:
What's the point of upfronts if all the networks are just going to announce everything the week before, all willy nilly (oddly, All Willy Nilly is also the name of a yet to be picked up CBS pilot – no it's not)? Jealous of all the NBC bean spilling, last night, FOX announced its three new single-camera comedies for next season.
First, is Mindy Kaling's highly anticipated It's Messy, in which she plays a doctor trying to have it all. Besides Kaling, The Office's Howard Klein and BJ Novak will executive produce the show (things are just looking bleaker and bleaker over in Scranton). Her co-stars – Ed Weeks, [...]
Big shakeups are about to hit Dunder Mifflin. Paul Lieberstein will likely exit as showrunner next year, the better to focus on the Dwight-centric spinoff. Meanwhile, Mindy Kaling's absence to work on her new series seems inevitable after the casting of Ed Helms, Bill Hader, and Richard Schiff in the pilot. So in theory, next year could see the loss of: the showrunner, an influential writer, Dwight, Andy, Toby, and Kelly. That'd make for an empty Scranton office, all right. I know this show is good at adapting, but isn't it kind of time to close things out already?
After NBC passed on it, Fox has picked up Mindy Kaling's pilot about “a young Bridget Jones-type doctor trying to navigate both her personal and professional lives.” Kaling will write, executive produce, and star. If this pilot goes to series, she would likely leave The Office, which means no more Kelly Kapoor. But it would definitely be worth it to see Kaling play an OB/GYN drinking wine out of the bottle and singing "All By Myself" to her television set in her pajamas. Ah, wouldn't it be great if Mindy Kaling would just remake Bridget Jones' Diary on Youtube to pass the time before we get to see [...]
