While waiting to take over The Late Show this fall, Stephen Colbert is set to stop by The Mindy Project sometime this year.
Before we get to the reason why and how and what not, we give you this Instagram from Ike Barhinholtz, featuring Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina, Stephen Colbert and The Mindy Project writer David Stassen:
The news was announced via, what else, Twitter, when Mindy Kaling tweeted the picture and accompanying caption, revealing Colbert’s character’s name: Father Michael O’Donnell.
Coming soon to #themindyproject: Father Michael O’Donnell. @StephenAtHome pic.twitter.com/njzxjmN99G

Co-star and show writer Ike Barinholtz also tweeted from the set, piquing our interest about Colbert’s character even further:
Really enjoying directing this up and coming actor today on the #themindyproject pic.twitter.com/oc3NcSLxZQ

It’s also interesting to note that Barinholtz doesn’t look to be in Morgan clothes in the picture, which makes us believe he might not be in the scene.
Our wildest guest about Father O’Donnell? It involves Annette and her boyfriend Dr. Ledreau. It wouldn’t be the first time a show has used a different couple other than the main one as a red herring wedding.
No word on when the episode will air, but given the clue that Mindy Kaling read The Mindy Project season 3 finale this past week, it could be one of the final ones of the season. Start speculating their reason for being in a church… now!
Stephen Colbeard is just another name added to the huge list of guest stars Mindy Kaling & Co. has brought onto the show this season. Honestly, at this point we wouldn’t be surprised if the Pope or Beyoncé show up sometime.
