Brian Baumgartner and Mindy Kaling conference call

Brian: Thousands?

Mindy: Really sexy. Yes thousands. You know, like I don’t get the rep of somebody who can eat a lot of food but I’m going to and that’s what I can bring to this.

Press: One more quick thing. Steve signed on for three more years, has the rest of the cast signed on as well or?

Brian: You know, I think that the show will be around for a long time.

Mindy: I’m on a week-to-week contract, they can fire me any week. I’m serious.

Brian: You know, it’s so funny, I read that thing too that he signed on for three more years but I honestly I really thought he was signed on for three more years…

Mindy: Me too, I think that too…

Brian: So I don’t really know…

NBC: It is true. He had three more years in his contract.

Brian: That was Ricky Gervais like, I don’t know, like wanting to make everybody happy. But I don’t think that that was actually a new development.

Brian: I have no idea of his contract details.

Mindy: This will probably be my last call because I’m heading to a doctor’s appointment.

NBC: Yeah Mindy’s got to run you guys, I’m so sorry. But Brian’s going to stay on.

Brian: Okay bye Mindy.

Mindy: Okay bye guys, thank you so much.

Press: What, outside of The Office, what other projects do you have, and the webisodes, do you have anything going on as far as like what, like a stand up comedy career or do you do other writing?

Brian: You know, I do do other writing and I am — I have written something that’s, well, hopefully going to be done very soon. But aside from that that I can’t really talk about I did just shoot a movie — it’s called Into Temptation with Jeremy Sisto and Kristin Chenoweth.

And that was really exciting for me because it’s a drama. And, unlike a lot of these Office guys who came from improv or from stand up, I’m really just from the theater. And so having an opportunity as much as — and truly I mean this — as much as I love working on The Office and love playing Kevin, being able to do something different during the off season now was very pleasurable.

Press: Have you seen any of the other foreign like the German version of The Office or the French version or the Quebeque …

Brian: I haven’t. And of course I was joking before about the British version, I’m a huge, huge, huge fan of that show. And we’ve talked about it but no we haven’t — maybe we should get NBC to find us that. That would be fun to see.

Press: Brian, I really just have questions about the extreme — your extreme sexiness that you mentioned earlier.

Brian: Bring it on.
