Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly on the The Office and is also a head writer for the show, is about to launch a new comedy series for Fox, featuring some familiar NBC faces.
As we reported recently, Fox has ordered a pilot from The Office star Mindy Kaling, and it seems that she has now cast some of her NBC colleagues for a couple of guest roles in the upcoming show.
According to Ew.com, Ed Helms, who plays Andy on The Office, will be a potential love interest. He’s a Wall Street analyst who goes on a blind date with Kaling’s character, Mira.
Also joining is Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader, who will play Mira’s ex boyfriend, Tom. A source is describing Hader’s character as “an upbeat, humble, almost infinitely-appealing boy-next-door type, who has such perfect chemistry with Kaling’s character that it feels nearly too good to be true. Mira sees him as the living, breathing equivalent of an early-80s Tom Hanks.”
These are some of the funniest people in television and movies at the moment, so it’s looking like Kaling’s show is set up to be a success.
