TCA press tour: Mindy Kaling to revisit ‘The Office’ next season

Like, ohmygod, guys! This is totes more awesome than Miley Cyrus’ brillz idea of Starbucks offering home delivery: Mindy Kaling, who will helm her own comedy this fall on Fox, will still be Kelly Kapoor on “The Office� ... for at least two episodes.

“I’m headed back for the premiere and maybe another episode,� Kaling said during the Television Critics Assn. press tour on Monday, where she was promoting her new series,�The Mindy Project.�

“I got so attached to that character even though I have, like, one line maybe every episode,� Kaling said. “It will be fun to see what happens to Kelly.�

Kaling has played the fast-talking pop culture nut on “The Office� since its premiere in 2005. But her limited time onscreen stems from her many hours behind-the-scenes as a writer and executive producer on the show.

But this fall, her focus shifts and she’ll be reciting a lot more lines as the star of “The Mindy Project� (she also serves as one of its executive producers). The show will be paired with “The New Girl�as part of Fox’s Tuesday comedy block. It’s a spot that puts her in company with her buddy Zooey Deschanel beginning Sept. 25.

“Zooey is like charm on a plate,� Kaling said. “It makes me feel really lucky.�

Ahead of the TV premiere, Fox is giving a two-week online preview of the first episode on Facebook and other online sites (including Hulu and Yahoo) starting Aug. 27.
