Look out, America: Mindy Kaling is launching her takeover. The writer and actress — best known as Kelly Kapoor from The Office — has just signed a big deal with NBC that means she'll keep writing for and appearing on The Office while developing a potential new sitcom in which she'd be the star.
But wait, it gets better. Kaling — who also writes a funny blog that she hasn't updated in way too long — might want that show to be a buddy comedy about women, in the vein of Flight of the Conchords. Apparently, one of her pre-Office writing jobs was a pilot for the WB about two best friends straight out of college, and she's "always wanted to do another show about women."
Gotta say, I love this news. Kaling's hilarious and adorable, and I could definitely see her following in Fey's footsteps. It's also a relief to know she won't be leaving The Office anytime soon, because every time Kelly turns up, it's golden. What do you make of this deal?

1Sounds cool. I'm interested to see what she comes up with.
2She's hysterical on The Office. Never a dull moment with Kelly. Glad to hear we'll be seeing more of her!
3I can't wait to see more of her -- so funny!
4Love her, love her on The Office. I was so happy she was in last week's episode more than the previous ones.
5I would love to see her play another character besides Kelly because I can't picture her as any other type of person!
6I'm obsessed with her. And also very upset about her blog not being updated lately!
7She's my favorite celebrity that I follow on twitter. I think she's funnier than Tina Fey in some ways.... one thing is for sure, she's got a long career ahead of her.
8Yay! That'd be so cool, I love her!
9i absolutely adore her! and also, though her blog isn't updated frequently, her twitter definitely is- and that keeps me happy =)
10this is great news! she is so funny!
11She's so funny! She needs more scenes in The Office.
12Mindy is so frakkin awesome, I can't wait for the new show. I also glad she won't be leaving The Office. Kelly is such a highlight.
13she's fat and stupid. her character on the office is flat and her acting sucks. she is NOT the next tina fey. she needs to learn how to act and write better scripts.
