Mindy Kaling on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with MK Mindy Kaling

The Hang, in Short

Amy and Avantica bond over September 16th birthdays, specifically how Avantica's dad and Amy discovered they shared one while filming Moxy and literally held hands jumping up and down about it. Dad watch continues: he's apparently "proximate" in every Avantica story, including lurking 300 feet away when teenage Avantica cold DM'd Mindy Kaling and scored a mentorship lunch involving escargot in a strip mall parking lot. Avantica gushes about Mindy's curiosity, her gossip game, and how she prioritizes her kids over work. The big question for Mindy? Name four life goals across different categories, because what's left to accomplish when you've already done everything. Amy's take: or just rest, darling. They preview the Mindy interview covering The Office writing records, a cappella, baby delivery confidence levels, and Not Suitable for Work on Hulu.
