“I always wanted Michael Scott to be Tony Scott and Ridley Scott’s first cousin. He loved Tony but was “eh” on Ridley.”
“There was a full day of pitching on Michael Scott meeting Markie Post at the mall, accomplishing a life-long dream”
Long time Office writer Mike Shur (Mose) got in the action too! He replied to Mindy with his Michael Scott story: “One day, Michael does each job in the office for one hour, and nearly brings Dunder Mifflin down completely.”
Mindy replied: “@KenTremendous I remember that one! I wish we had done when Michael found a stop on the Underground Railroad!”
“Not a story per se, but Michael auditioning for SNL with his characters and @sethmeyers21 gently walking him to the 30 Rock exit was a dream”
“Michael gets accused of something and is exonerated because there’s footage of him outside The Today Show behind Al Roker”
“Michael gets Lasik but can only afford to get it done to one eye.”
“Michael feels unnappreciated and does a “Ms. Nelson Is Missing”-type fake horror boss.”
Earlier this year, when we spoke with Mindy Kaling about her future on The Office, she said, “This isn’t some big scoop or anything, but I can see this season being my last. Right now, I’m hankering for new adventures.”
“Office” co-star Mindy Kaling talks to THR about who would best replace Steve Carell and her reaction to critic complaints alleging Indian stereotyping on NBC’s upcoming Thursday comedy “Outsourced”.
“I’d love to see Rainn Wilson in that position,” says coexecutive producer/costar Mindy Kaling, who snagged a much-deserved Emmy nomination for co-writing last season’s four-star Jim/Pam wedding episode. “Dwight has become so nuanced — you actually care about him now. I think if [we did a good job laying the groundwork] this coming season, he would be a fantastic boss.
“But that’s my dream,” she adds. “It certainly hasn’t been approved by people that are more powerful than me and who make those kinds of decisions.”
“We’re still infatuated with Steve and love him so much that we’re hoping for some 11th hour like, ‘I really do like this schedule and I like craft services here, so I don’t want to go.’ But I’m going to take him at face value and [assume] he’s not being coy and that he really wants to [leave].”
