Mindy is Gen X, she was born in 1979
Mindy definitely gives me Ravenclaw vibes

one of the few episodes ive watched completely cuz mindy kaling is SO INTERESTING. i LOVED IT. did not click away even once. stayed the whole episode! thank u!
Loved this hang!!! Next time can Mindy do rapid fire questions?
Amy giving motherhood advice was the best 🩷 🫶🏻🥹
Please please please put the Mindy project on some sort of streaming platform available in Canada😭😭😭 I’m desperate to rewatch!!!!
I remember the first time I watched an episode of The Mindy Project and thinking "what the hell is this? It's way too good for network television."
Been following Amy’ podcast since the first episode, and even to see her now and how she’s grown. It’s so cool! ❤
She looks like a different person holy shit. She looks great but why does she look so different, the other thumbnails on videos for her She looks so different. Crazy.
OK would not know this is Mindy Kaling.
Mindy Kaling is the best!!
love her from inside out to wreck it Ralph ❤❤❤
Mindyyyyyyy CLICK ❤
money no worries i watched the entire thing. and u were perfect ur nanny may click away only cause that’s awkward watching your friend lol but as a human stranger im so glad u did this and im. i can’t wait to check out your show
You re doing an amazing job.
When people talk about dream blunt rotations, I picture this…comedic women who have created or starred in their own shows. Give me Amy, Mindy, Issa Rae, Quinta Brunson, Julia-Louis Dreyfuss, etc.
I love running point! Excellent writing and so funny.
💙🥰👏
Millie Bobby Brown Bongiovi just said (on Josh Horowitz's podcast) that she would LOVE to be on Good Hang. Please have her on!!! 🙏🙏🙏😁
I would be so excited for you both to create something together
Is she good at skiing? She's a mogul mogul-paraphrased from Parks and Rec
September birthday girl here too!!
Xennials ARE REAL!! I’m an elder millennial which doesn’t sound as sexy but there’s a major difference in how we grew up vs anyone outside that 5 ish year mini window
Your passion really shows.
I have always loves Mindy. She was fantastic in The Office. Loved watching The Mindy Project and have been following her work since then. We need more movies and shows about Women going through perimenopause. I hope she writes something in the next few years.
i've been single-momming since the divorce in november. thank you for the reminder i don't have to LOVE everything. maybe i'll carpe diem after the cat box gets cleaned. 😉
we need the Rock'apella's song out NOW

Not Suitable For Work is actually such a cute show. I hope it gets more seasons!
Have Mindy on again, PLEAAAAAAAZE. She is such a breath of fresh air, interesting, intelligent and funny!! You too, Amy!!!!
Thank you for the Poehler Plunge today! We ARE our worst critics. I always say to my BFF (when she's making jokes about her appearance), "hey, don't talk about my friend like that." This GenX girlie LOVED this! Thank you!
Avantika is so beautiful it’s insane
37:33 wait but then they didn't actually say something nice about Ike 😂
I send this Kelly Meme often: I have a question, first of all, how dare you??!
The Mindy project is the BEST!
mindy project is legit so underrated – its one of my comfort shows
24:22 this is my absolute favorite Michael Scott quote haha
Generation questions are so funny. Most of the generations are about 10 years. GenX spread is 15 years. 1965 – 1980. They are both GenX. Without even looking up birthdays, I would have guessed them both to be GenX.
So much comedy knowledge and I’m really nerding out here, but I really can’t believe Mindy called Cancers the most losery astrological sign. Girl, you are not tappin’ into the magic! ♋️🦀🌚🌊
