Other guests include Kristin Chenoweth and The Slip.

you’d think a writer for an amazing show like “the office” would be funnier. i chalk up the boring interview to her inexperience in the late night talk show arena. she didn’t even laugh at conan’s hilarious elevator art routine!
I read somewhere that Mindy is dating B.J. Novak (Ryan) in real life? Is that true? If so, that’s the cutest thing ever!
Great interview and preview clip! Makes waiting for Thursday that much more unbearable though… :)
As an art history major, I especially appreciated her elevator run-in with Conan. Cracked me up.
I love her. She’s so well-spoken and funny, and just awesome.
She looked really beautiful in the interview.
rachel. i always wondered about that whole brenda thing. but i was watching the deleted scenes of the drug testing episode today and in it, pam transfers a call from someone named brenda to jim-but that’s the day he is “jinxed”. so he doesn’t pick up. and he writes on a sheet. “its okay, she’ll call back”. i assume she doesn’t?
Thanks so much for posting the clip. My VCR is on the fritz and I’m way too broke for a DVR.
She’s so poised & so bright. More power to her.
Hey, what ever happened to Brenda? She appeared in a season 2 (I think) episode & there was a scene in which Jim, sitting temporarily next to Kelly, rang Brenda up & left a message asking her out.
Talk about a loose plot thread.
I love that she mistaked Steve for her boyfriend. =D
Video posted. :)
Anyone have a clip of this?
ok nevermind. so i watched her on conan and it wasnt and engagement ring.
did anyone see the ring on her left ring finger. is she engaged. maybe it was just a cocktail ring, but usually you would wear it on your right ring finger. she hasn’t come on yet here,Conan is still at his desk talking about state quarters.
Weird, Nick, I am watching on NBC 5 in Chicago and didn’t get that… I am watching non cable in my bedroom though!
WOW! Great preview for the wedding in the commercial!
Hopefully, Callan, though I can imagine them in the pre-show telling the audience that Mindy used to be an intern and them cheering for that reason.
Mindy totally got the biggest cheer from the crowd when Conan announced the guests.
I think mainstream America may be catching on to our favorite show…
someone PLEASE YouTube this!!! i can’t watch it, but i love her! and i will love you too if you do this for me!
DrunkBiking, I agree that he’s good looking, but really–a male model? I think that’s going a little far. There are many people who look just as good as him in normal life. Jim has tried to step it up in his appearance (physical and social) and I think it shows.
And for Mindy, I will definitely stay up to watch. =) She’s very smart and funny, unlike her character, and they’re both “amaaaazing”!

I agree with you and btw thank you for replying with a well thought answer. However, though I may agree with you I still don’t understand why this episode in particular seems to be garnering the heat. Although you’re right, this probably isn’t the place to discuss it. (sorry Tanster, also sorry for multiple posts) I’ll be watching the interview with the rest of you!
I wasn’t going to get into the episode here but since you asked, Calvin…last season Jim was an identifiable guy, a young down on his luck office worker who was sort of good looking, sort of smart, but fairly ordinary. We identified with him.
This season he’s a rising young man in the firm with two beautiful women vying for his attention and Krasinski is madeup lately to look like a male model. The whole situation has gone from feeling realistic to feeling like a teenage soap opera and the Karen/Pam/Jim scenes in Ben Franklin about who likes who just furthered that feeling.
Having said all that, still looking forward to seeing Mindy on Conan. :)
