B.J. Novak’s interview with Entertainment Weekly

B.J. Novak talks to Entertainment Weekly about tonight’s episode of ‘The Mindy Project,’ in which he co-wrote and co-stars, as well as his relationship with Mindy Kaling from ‘The Office.’

Best part of the article? — B.J.’s description of Ryan Howard and Kelly Kapoor:

What do you think would happen if Mindy Lahiri met Ryan Howard?
Mindy Lahiri would have absolutely no patience for Ryan Howard. That is one thing I love about about this episode — we both get to play much more mature versions of ourselves. Ryan and Kelly were the kid versions of us. We invented them when we were 24, and they kind of stayed stuck in time — they were very bratty, and selfish, and a little thin. And Mindy’s character on The Mindy Project — she’s still a mess, but she’s a much more mature, self-aware adult. My character is too. She’s a doctor; I’m a Latin professor. These are grown-ups. So it feels like that was our Muppet Babies relationship, and this is us as real Muppets.

TV Guide reports B.J. Novak no longer full-time on The Office

From TV Guide:

B.J. Novak, who has doubled as a writer off-screen and a series regular on-screen since The Office’s 2005 launch, is leaving as a full-time part of the show.

Novak will remain a member of the extended Office family, however. Even though he no longer has a deal in place with series producer Universal TV, Novak is expected to make recurring appearances on The Office and could even still do some writing for the show.

… executive producer Greg Daniels… is returning full time to oversee the show’s creative evolution this season.
