Mindy Kaling Thinks 'The Office' Character, Kelly Kapoor, Would Now Quit Dunder Mifflin

Where would Kelly Kapoor be if she was still around today, nearly 10 years after "The Office" ended?

That's a question Mindy Kaling was asked during a recent appearance on "Good Morning America" when the topic of "The Office" joined the chat. And of course, in typical Kaling style, she had the perfect thoughts about her popular character and what she would be up to right now.

"I think she probably would have quit Dunder Mifflin to be an influencer and then probably been canceled almost immediately," she said. "So that's what I would see for her. Actually, most of the characters on that show probably would be canceled by now."

Some fans of "The Office" dropped into the comment section of the Instagram clip posted by "Good Morning America" to agree with Kaling's thoughts on her popular television show character.

"She’s right! The Office won’t even be allowed to air if they created that show in 2022. I love love The Office. Best show ever," one fan wrote. Another added, "We stan for Kelly Kapoor. Always and forever." And another fan agreed saying, "LMAO I 100% can see it that."

One fan had a different idea on where Kelly Kapoor would be right now. "Oh no Girl, she would probably have her own makeup brand by now and spell all the T on Bryan relationship status on her tutorials😂😂😂"

When asked about her plans to introduce her children, Katherine Swati, 4, and Spencer Avu, 2, to the hit show, Kaling said, "maybe never" with a giggle.

"That show is so inappropriate. We always talk about the writers, I'm still in touch with now, we talk about so much of that show we probably couldn't make now," she said. "Tastes have changed and honestly what offends people has changed so much now and so I think that's actually one of the reasons the show is popular because people feel like there is something kind of fearless about it or taboo that it talks about on the show."

As far as if her children will watch the show one day, she said, "I think when they're teenagers they'll probably want to."

Kaling also discussed the launch of Mindy's Book Studio and its first book, "The Vibrant Years" by Sonali Dev. Kaling explained that this is one of the most exciting things she's doing right now.

"I was really raised reading books. They were like my babysitters," she said. "I've written three books, I love writing and I love reading. It makes me a better writer." The actress explained that the mission of Mindy's Book Studio "is to spotlight women and emerging voices and established voices and women of color."

Kaling is the author of the Amazon Charts bestselling collection, "Nothing Like I Imagined (Except for Sometimes), and two New York Times bestselling memoirs, "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me (And Other Concerns) and "Why Not Me?"
