Mindy Kaling - 'Running Point' & 'Not Suitable for Work' [LIVE]

About this episode

Mindy Kaling discusses her career and experiences as a creator in front of a live audience.

In front of an audience at the Newport Beach TV Fest, the trailblazing writer/director/producer/actress reflects on her time on 'The Office' and how it shaped the series she subsequently created, including 'The Mindy Project,' 'Never Have I Ever' and 'The Sex Lives of College Girls'; the sense of responsibility and pressure that comes with being an American-Indian creator and making shows with American-Indian protagonists; and why she has enjoyed working strictly behind the camera on her most recent series.
