The Office’s Mindy Kaling Has Comedy Pilot Picked Up By Fox

Mindy Kaling, author if Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? and best known as Kelly Kapoor on The Office, may soon have her very own show. Via The Hollywood Reporter: Fox “has officially picked up to pilot an untitled comedy from The Office‘s Kaling that would star the writer-actress as a young Bridget Jones-type doctor trying to navigate both her personal and professional lives. The project, which hails from Universal TV, would be written and executive produced by Kaling, with Parks and Recreation and The Office‘s Howard Klein on board as a nonwriting executive producer.” I used to be a diehard fan of The Office (until Jim married Pam because Jim was supposed to marry ME and not Pam) but Kelly was always my favorite character. Let’s hope this pilot works out!
