Being so famous you could send your friends a meme that’s actually you is the ultimate flex, according to Mindy Kaling.
Interviewed by pal Amy Poehler on her podcast Good Hang, the star talks about her latest comedy Not Suitable for Work (with a guest question from the Hulu series’ star Avantika), and the pair chat about their shared rise to fame through improv, interning on Late Night with Conan O’Brien, their love for Saturday Night Live, and not agreeing on a capella.
Best bit?
Kaling and Poehler really get into all things The Office, of which Kaling wrote more episodes of than any other writer, and was the only woman in the writers room. Kaling talks about how she ended up playing the iconic Kelly Kapoor, and as promised, they chat about the fact that they’re both memes.
“I love being a meme. It makes me feel young,” says Kaling.
“Are you kidding me? It’s my dream,” responds Pohler. “I’ve actually been like, can I send people my own memes?”
“Oh, do it. It’s such a mic drop,” says Kaling.
“It’s such a weird…but there’s no higher compliment,” says Poehler.
“I send people memes of Kelly saying, ‘This day is bananas,’ all day long,” says Kaling.
