   That Mindy Kaling article made me laugh.

   Jamfan I would totally be with you, if I didn’t live on the East coast. It sucks.

   Okay, probably the cutest sentence of all time:

   “Jenna Fischer will host Kitten Rescue’s 10th Anniversary Celebration and Fundraiser…”

    Mindy’s article almost made me spit out my water. Hilarious! And it was great to relive the magic that was The Daily Show/Colbert Report Improv Jam through those videos. :)

    Oh – and Carell and Fey headlining a movie together?! I can’t freaking wait!

    Great Tally, Tanster! Thanks!
