Mindy Kaling’s Office Party
aprilbegins over at the LiveJournal Office community has posted scans of a funny article about Mindy Kaling from the March issue of Venice Magazine.
An excerpt:
Because “The Office has such a sizeable ensemble, is it difficult to keep each character from getting lost or overshadowed?
The great thing about the show is none of these characters are alike; it’s like a zoo. We have every different animal in his or her own little cage, like a Stanley or a Meredith or a Dwight. You can poke each animal and they’ll make a sound and you write it down. I think the perfect kind of episode is one where we have a conference room scene and every character gets to say one thing that is very in character, one little hilarious remark. And I feel like I’ve done my job if I can service every character on the show.
(And did you guys know about Brenda? — I didn’t!)

Dumb but deep
The Arizona Republic has an interesting story about how “stupid is the new smart” where TV comedy protagonists are concerned.
The Office’s Michael Scott, of course, is the poster boy for this phenomena.
“I don’t consider Michael as the stupid guy,” [Greg] Daniels said of his lead character. “He makes some very bad choices … I think in certain circumstances he’s very competent. There are just certain circumstances he’s not suited for.”
Indeed, The Office takes care to point out on occasion that, while Michael is a train wreck as a manager, he was an excellent salesman. And that’s crucial to being able to stomach the guy.
