Mindy Kaling Reveals Why She and B.J. Novak Aren't Dating | The Drew Barrymore Show 

Mindy is not an icon lol

@@davidmckesey7119 ooh thank you for chiming in with your valuable expertise on the matter, david mckesey 🤔will have to think on this some more but you bring up a good point ... her impact on my life and many others' suddenly pales in comparison to this life-changing response to an equally life-changing comment i made in passing about two role models based on my own experience and framing of the world ... i'm shaken to my core! quaking in my boots! thank you for doing us all this service. warmly ever, Mikaela lol

YESSSSS!!!

She’s a super icon, as an Indian we’ve never been on American tv before, her writing lights up my world, genius, she’s one of the greatest icons ever

@@shrijitasgable Have white Americans been on Indian tv before. Hey, time for some diversity and inclusion in India! It will light up your world with all of us geniuses and icons!!!

You have certainly set the bar low in regards to what qualifies for beautiful and hilarious.

@@hellogoodbye4061what’s ur issue? she was a writer on the office a universally loved comedy and nothings wrong w finding someone cute…

@@Josieeeeeeeeeee What's your issue. She wrote a handful of scripts for The Office and has since become the de facto diversity hire. Velma is the end result. Damn, quit licking Kalings boots. It demeans you.

Even for The Office she doesn’t get enough credit as a writer even though she wrote the most episodes as a staff writer

So true

Absolutely!!!

she made velma you subhuman.

I’ve never heard a more annoying voice

Her "era" just ended with "Velma"....

​@@hellogoodbye4061sore l o s e r

@@ananyanegi9423 If you think the universally mocked and ridiculed "Velma" won anything, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell ya. Look, word to the wise, blind celebrity worship such as yours will only lead to disappointment in the end. Quick licking her boots. It demeans you.

​@@hellogoodbye4061cry more hater. Shes more successful than you'll ever be.

There's a RU-vidr Lorry Hill that does plastic surgery analysis videos. She did one for Mindy recently - I find them interesting

They were together a long time ago so they know about that path

Because they’re weirdddd 😂😂😂

Which is actually really sad that people can't except that a woman can be platonic friends with a man for years. Only women will get asked this. A married man would not be asked if he is sure he is not married to his best female friend. That would be deemed rude both for him and for his wife.

I google them constantly

​@@Sdority905 I think it's also because people aren't used to seeing exes become best friends. They can't wrap their head around having a close platonic relationship with someone you used to date- especially when the father of her kids hasn't been revealed and everyone wants to think it's BJ's.

@@Danigirlrocks101 "wants to think" being the perfect phrasing.

Her bff is Jimmy Fallon lol

Yes agreed

Let me stop you right there

Mindy Kaling sexually assaulted a gay man, and she's got away with it. If it were a man, he would've been cancelled and sent to jail. What hypocrisy

​@@somethingiswrong8975what? When? Who?

If Mindy is your version of "brilliant" you certainly set the bar low in this regard.

@@hellogoodbye4061 I’m not a writer, executive producer, nor director; I’ve never been nominated for one, let alone six, Emmy Awards; I’ve never won a Tony for Best Musical as a producer; I didn’t attend Dartmouth; I don’t speak Latin; I’ve never written stage plays nor directed nor performed in them; I’ve never starred in any movie with Oprah, an Ocean’s movie, nor written movies for, among others, multi-Oscar winning writer and actress Dame Emma Thompson; (being British, I consider this one of the lowest points of my non-career). I’ve never toured as a stand-up, never written for late-night shows, never created any of a long list of TV shows on multiple networks, nor written any New York Times bestselling books. I did, however, manage to read Wikipedia and summarise the opening paragraphs of a very long article. I didn’t set the bar low. I am the bar. It’s as low as I could get.

@@moreloveandjoy She's a lousy writer, lousy executive producer, and a lousy director. Velma is awfully written. She killed The Office in its final two years, which one would think would be nearly impossible to achieve considering its popularity, but she somehow pulled it off. Hollywood gives out awards like beads tossed out at Mardi Gras and her Tony was an obvious "diversity" award. Her stage plays all bombed. Damn, kid, anyone can attempt to write, produce and direct. Doesn't mean they instantly qualify as "brilliant" for attempting (and failing more often than not) it. Then you go on about more Hollywood awards. Yawn. Is that the best ya got!!! Her stand-up was cringe worthy godawful, so much so, her ticket sales prompted her to abandon standup. Everything she dips her toe in fails, save the woke diversity awards Hollywood hands her. The New York Times always pushes woke content and Kaling happens to fit the bill, um, ya got anything with a little meat on the bone, kid? Wikipedia is, more often than not, composed by the person who it is about. Think about that for a minute before responding. Damn, kid, the Hollywood publicity machine has got you fooled to the max. It will take quite some time to deprogram you. Yikes!!!

The only other thing I know about Mindy is that her brother pretended to be Black to get into uni, then he dropped out and wrote a book about it.

Her biggest crime, IMO, was her body positivity stuff and then showing up skinny and with a completely reworked face.

Definitely, the new Bosley!

Totally wanting this Charlie's Angels 3 cast and movie to happen!

She is stunning now a days 😊

I almost spit out my drink, as someone in their 20s, when she called her writing 'universal' because a 48 yr old was relating to it. . . She is such a boomer, sorry. Imagines that being young is all about sex, and it's all people think about. . . She is not a good writer. . . Sorry.

Ha! She just appeals to people whose only hobby is watching TV and getting their opinions from it

underrated , i hope she stays "underrated " lol ?? as a south asian she is an embarrassment to the whole community, the way she represents brown women in Hollywood , sexualizes teens ( velma ), hates men just for being white. she is actual embodiment of "love me because I am not white guy " Mindy is the male version of james corden

@@monkey6207 She's not a Boomer, lmao. I don't think her writing implies that "being young is all about sex" -- it is far more nuanced than that.

@@doctordarcy8385she’s definitely a bad actress and writer. Her stuff is corny

Unless you have definitive evidence to support your claims, you’re just another delusional person gossiping about someone who doesn’t even know you exist

Yes! She posts pics of her children from the back of their head. BJ Novak has a very distinct head shape and ear location, and when I saw a photo of her son from the back, all I could think was that his head shape and ears were identical to BJ Novak.

Or maybe he was just the sperm donor?

This is the first time I’m hearing of this theory?? What!??😂💀 sounds silly

Except it’s not a continuation of the first two films. It’s a reboot with an entirely new cast

I was thinking the same thing!

I used to love when her name was Kelli because that’s my aunts name and she was adopted from Calcutta and she also talks like a valley girl or a preppy girl

Really?! That makes me very excited 😊

I think she did that on purpose. Gen Z is always saying to us Gen-Xers, “ok, Boomer 🙄.” And, she’s exaggerating being “old.” So, she went straight to Boomer. 😂

*1983 for millennials

I’m sure she said that for affect. No one says ‘ ok Gen Xer. She was illuminating her distance from the younger generations

Pretty sure she was making fun of herself.

​@@_honeybihalmademiel8983 Feels like it ought to be a couple years sooner. End of Gen X probably more often identifies with Millenials' problems than just Gen X's.

💪🏽💋🫀💄🤌🏽🧠🥷🦹🏼‍♀️🪂🎟🎱 💥💥💥

i mean, nobody asks BJ because he’s not doing anything interesting enough to merit a press tour 😬 but yeah watching her show Never Have I Ever.. Devi & Ben look like a mini Mindy and BJ so it does make you wonder 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because BJ Novak isn’t going on interviews and the times he has, he’s been asked.

If Mindy is your version of "brilliant" you certainly set the bar low in this regard.

@@hellogoodbye4061 just for reference what is your example of brilliant in the entertainment industry? Comedy specifically?

@@asdabir Alas, the term "brilliant" is quite subjective but unfortunately is tossed about quite freely today, in particular with singers and actors. Brilliant should, more than likely, be reserved for those within the spectrum of intelligentsia. Einstein was brilliant. Galileo was brilliant, Curie was brilliant. Um, should we group Mindy Kaling, or any actor for that matter, with these type of individuals? Mindy Kaling, brilliant? Um, not so much.

Thank you. She just aged herself.

You must not be familiar with her brand of humor. She’s exaggerating for comedic effect.

@@janesays1278 That was my first instinct but I watched it again and it didn’t make sense or seem that funny. I guess I just had a disconnect on that one.
