Find out which character is most likely to snap, and which has a secret sexy past. We spoke to the cast and crew of The Mindy Project on the red carpet at PaleyFest.
On March 8, the cast and crew of The Mindy Project were honored by the Paley Center as part of the annual PaleyFest. We spoke with creator and star Mindy Kaling, executive producer Matt Warburton, and actors Ike Barinholtz (Morgan), Zoe Jarman (Betsy), Ed Weeks (Jeremy), and Beth Grant (Beverly).

Mindy Kaling is a Transformer.
She's a robot in disguise. OK, not literally, but... "I feel like it takes a room full of people to equal one Mindy in the writer's room," Matt Warburton offered, "and so, when she's on set, the eight to ten of us sort of fulfill that function. We combine like Voltron to form a Mindy when she's not in the room."

The scripts get better and better as more writers give input.
In addition to playing Morgan, Ike Barinholtz and his writing partner have written two episodes this season. "These amazing writers just go through it and layer in all these amazing jokes that never occurred to you," he said. "You get mad, too, like, 'Shit.' It's pretty awesome to turn it over to great writers."

Right now, the concern is just letting these characters develop naturally.
Already thinking about Mindy and Danny ending up together? It's a little early for an end game, as Warburton explained. "We want to let them live," he said. "We definitely don't think of endings, we just think of what turn can we give people that's gonna open them up in any way and make their relationship with the other characters more interesting."
