Why Mindy Kaling Took A Break From Acting
At this point, Mindy Kaling is an undeniable multihyphenate. From Never Have I Ever and The Sex Lives of College Girls to Velma and Running Point, it honestly feels like we've gotten a show that she's created or written every time we switch on our TVs. Mindy's been so ever-present behind the scenes that it's honestly been easy to forget that we were all introduced to her as an actor — especially in the classic NBC TV show The Office (which, to be clear, she also wrote for). These days, however, Mindy isn't in front of the camera all that often. She's done some voice work on Velma and Monsters at Work, and she's made the occasional appearance on The Morning Show, but that's about it. During a recent public appearance (via The Hollywood Reporter), Mindy addressed her recent absence as an actor — especially when it came to making a cameo on Never Have I Ever, which she ultimately decided not to do. 'A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that—what's wrong with me?' she joked. 'I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious,' she continued. 'I'm like, these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.' Mindy also admitted that she does "miss" acting, and that she "would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon" — particularly because doing so would be 'unbelievably fun and it's so efficient.' 'I would love to do that again,' she said. 'That's the thing that maybe in the next couple years, when I launch a couple other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again.' We'll see what happens!

SNL: We Pick the 15 Funniest Sketches of Season 50 — Watch Video
Saturday Night Live's landmark 50th season has come and gone… and as usual, it left us with plenty of big laughs. NBC's sketch comedy institution wrapped up Season 50 last month, bringing back lots of familiar faces along the way, with cameos from legendary alumni like Adam Sandler and Tina Fey. But SNL delivered some instant-classic sketches this season, too — maybe even ones we'll still be talking about 50 years from now. (We'll probably have to explain to our grandchildren who or what Moo Deng was, though.) More from TVLine #OneChicago: Find Out Which Stars Are Set to Return This Fall - Plus, Fire, Med and P.D. Episode Counts Revealed Outlander's Jamie and Claire Get Goofy in Bed and Other Season 7 Bloopers - Watch Exclusive Reel AGT Just Brought Back Two Acts for Redemption in Season 20 - and One Got a Golden Buzzer! (Watch) We're celebrating the end of another SNL season — and a half-century of Studio 8H greatness — by looking back at the funniest Season 50 sketches, from uproarious live moments to pre-taped short films to Weekend Update characters we hope to see a lot more of in future seasons. Our favorite sketches include stellar work from hosts like Ariana Grande, John Mulaney and… Lady Gaga? Who knew she was a comedy powerhouse? (Note: In the interest of fairness, we left off any sketches from February's live SNL50 anniversary special — although those were fantastic, too. Click here for a full rundown.) Read on to see which Season 50 sketches made the cut — press PLAY on the photo that accompanies each entry to watch the sketch in full — and be sure to hit the comments below and let us know if we left off any of your favorites. This short film is a real emotional roller coaster, telling the tale of a cute monkey that was sent into outer space at the dawn of the Space Race — and might not make it back home. The Mad Men-era period detail is exquisite here, and Beppo's story actually becomes genuinely poignant at times. (We're rooting for you, Beppo!) But John Mulaney and company make sure to weave lots of absurd humor into the mix, even when things go dark. (And zero forever.) Ariana Grande really showed off her vocal range in this goofy trip back to the Italian Renaissance, playing a young boy who has an incredibly high singing voice… thanks to an involuntary castration. (Poor Antonio.) The sight gag of Grande's haunted face is priceless, and SNL greats Maya Rudolph and Andy Samberg even pop in to explain the castration process in broad Italian accents: 'We never cut. We just-a twist!' Weekend Update anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che's annual joke swap is always a good time, where they write incredibly offensive jokes for each other to read on air without seeing them first. They really outdo themselves here, though, with Jost comparing his wife Scarlett Johansson's, um, private area to Costco roast beef — with a shocked Johansson watching live backstage. She did eventually get an apology from Che… penned by Jost, of course. Yes, Shane Gillis bombed hard with his controversial monologue — and his episode earned a 'F' grade from TVLine readers — but we did find a silver lining in this commercial parody, where Gillis hawks a tried-and-true medication for men facing anxiety and depression: Just down a couple beers! His confidence goes through the roof, and he uses the wonder drug to cope with everything from 'winter' to 'museum.' (Watch it here.) No frills or cameos here: This is just a good old-fashioned hilarious sketch, led by new featured player Ashley Padilla as a wife who tells embarrassingly horrible jokes at a company dinner. (Or just one embarrassingly horrible joke, really. Over and over again.) Padilla's magnificently over-the-top delivery won our hearts immediately. She better be back next season, Lorne. SNL pays tribute to a cultural staple with this fake ad for every older woman's favorite accessory: little red glasses! (They say, 'I teach Philosophy of Dance, and I eat tapas every night.') Lady Gaga's Noo Yawk accent is fantastically on point here, and the heightening rises to absurd levels: 'I have a Celestial Seasonings credit card!' Two keys to making a great SNL sketch: (1) Give Kenan Thompson a crazy character to play, and (2) let him cook. Here, he plays rock'n'roll legend Little Richard, who repeatedly pops up on a cheesy '90s family sitcom for some reason. We're not asking too many questions; we'll just enjoy Thompson letting out joyous 'woooo's and delivering the immortal line: 'I'm sorry that your goddamn dog died.' Who is Lord Gaga? Why, he's Lady Gaga's husband, of course! Mikey Day brings the perfect air of snooty pomposity to this Weekend Update character, who is the heir to a vast textile empire and condescendingly applauds his wife's little 'hobby' in the arts. ('If only it all paid, eh?') But the joke goes to another level when Lord Gaga mocks the very idea of a man being outearned by his wife… while Colin Jost (husband to Scarlett Johansson) just sits there and seethes. Season 50's cameo cavalcade peaked in this cold open, with Martin Short getting inducted into SNL's vaunted Five-Timers Club by a glitzy parade of A-list luminaries led by Tom Hanks and Paul Rudd. The sheer star wattage here is almost overwhelming, but they bring the jokes, too, including Kristen Wiig's weird sexual energy and a delightful reunion of 30 Rock stars Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin. For SNL junkies, this is a real Christmas gift. This glorious Weekend Update character, with Bowen Yang playing the cute baby hippo that became a viral sensation, offers both high and low comedy. On one hand, we get a painfully pretentious Moo Deng complaining about his sudden fame, a la Chappell Roan. ('I will not be making an endorsement in this year's election.') And on the other, we get Yang in a hippo suit trying to drink water from a hose fired right at his face. Truly the best of both worlds. Walton Goggins turns the sleaze factor up to 11 for this riotous sketch, playing a wildly flirty waiter entertaining a pair of middle-aged moms at a Mother's Day brunch — and annoying their sons. Goggins sells it with his suggestively unbuttoned shirt and his smooth Southern drawl, hitting on the ladies with outrageous lines like when he told the sons: 'You got to spend nine months inside your mama, I'm just trying to get 20 minutes.' (Watch it here.) Here, host Jon Hamm and Bowen Yang play a gay couple who bring their new baby to a get-together — only their friends gently point out that they didn't have a baby a day ago. Hamm and Yang treat their friends' very reasonable questions about where the baby came from as wildly offensive homophobic slurs. ('People think they can ask gay people anything! It's not OK!') Plus, we kind of love Hamm and Yang's chemistry as a couple. We 'ship them! Hear us out! Andy Samberg and his Lonely Island pals make a triumphant return to SNL with this absolute banger, with Samberg and Akiva Schaffer pitching a stuffy business boardroom on their new innovation: a sushi glory hole. ('Instead of strange d—k, you'd be getting a snack.') Now we're not saying we'd kneel down in a dirty bathroom stall just to enjoy some high-end raw fish… but the song is pretty convincing. Michael Longfellow is deliciously sadistic as the host of this game show sketch, which simply asks contestants to correctly name a person. John Mulaney plays a sanctimonious contestant who claims to be an expert on politics… but can't even name Hillary Clinton's VP pick Tim Kaine when he's standing right in front of him. (Kaine is a very good sport about it, too.) And when the host challenges Mulaney's contestant to remember the name of a single one of the Black victims of police violence he had once tweeted out with the hashtag #RememberTheirNames, calling him 'pal of mine' in the process? Chef's kiss. (Watch it here.) SNL's repetitive Trump parodies got tiresome by the end of Season 50, but they thankfully find a new twist on it here by satirizing the HBO hit The White Lotus and putting Donald Trump and his family on an ill-fated trip to Thailand. Scarlett Johansson reprises her role as Ivanka Trump, Chloe Fineman's impression of Parker Posey (sorry, Melania Trump) is perfectly spot-on, and Jon Hamm delivers a pretty nifty RFK Jr. to boot. (We'll just ignore the cheap swipe taken at Aimee Lou Wood's teeth.)

Mindy Kaling reveals why she took a step back from acting
Mindy Kaling stepped away from acting for a bit, but now, she's ready to run point on screen. The 45-year-old starred as Kelly Kapoor in the NBC sitcom 'The Office' for eight seasons from 2005 to 2013. From there, Kaling garnered a slew of iconic roles including her own show 'The Mindy Project' which aired a six season run from 2012 to 2017. After starting her own production company called Kaling International in 2012, she spearheaded the comedy 'Never Have I Ever' which was a Netflix hit for four seasons before ending in 2023. Advertisement 7 Mindy Kaling poses on Instagram. Instagram Now, the 'Inside Out' vet is explaining why she stepped back from the screen. 'A show literally about an Indian American family in Southern California, and if I wasn't on that—what's wrong with me?' Kaling told The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday. 'I think there is a part of me that feels a little superstitious. I'm like, 'these seem to have gone well and I'm not in them so maybe I'll wait.'

'I would like to write or co-create a show for me to act in soon.' Although the 'Late Night' alum didn't elaborate on what kind of project she sees herself in, she did note she'd love to act and direct it.

The last time she did so was on 'The Mindy Project.' 7 Mindy Kaling in 'Late Night.' ©Amazon/Courtesy Everett Collection / Everett Collection 'I would love to do that again,' she went on. 'That's the thing that maybe in the next couple of years, when I launch a couple of other things that are earlier in the pipeline, that would be something that would be fun to do again.' Kaling's latest co-creation was the Netflix sports comedy 'Running Point' – which debuted in February and starred Kate Hudson, Brenda Song, Chet Hanks, Max Greenfield, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur and Justin Theroux.

'Here's my thing. I have worked on many different platforms and it's not just about the money, but more often than not, the money represents real enthusiasm,' she shared. 'Sometimes it doesn't; sometimes I've done stuff for less money because the people seem so excited, like on the Zoom after the pitch.' 'The problem is that people are switching their jobs quickly that for me, I don't think there's been an instance where the person I sold a show, to that team has stayed intact for two years. Executives are moving constantly up and so to me, I never get too married to a creative team.' 7 'Inside Out' starring: Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Bill Hader as Fear Mindy Kaling as Disgust and Amy Poheler as Joy. ©Walt Disney Co./Courtesy Everett Collection When it came to working with Kaling on 'Running Point,' the show's star had nothing but praise for the mom-of-two. In May, Hudson, 46 said during a panel at an Emmy FYC event, per People: 'I have to say, I've fallen in love with this woman. And she's just not only so brilliant, but so trusting … she puts the best team together.' Advertisement 'And she was pregnant,' the singer expressed. 'We had a script, like our first table read. She's on Zoom. She then has the baby and is sending notes, like an hour after she has the baby. I was like, 'Isn't Mindy literally in labor?'
