Interview: Brian Baumgartner & Mindy Kaling from The Office
We had the honor of sitting down with Brian Baumgartner, who plays Kevin, and Mindy Kaling, who plays Kelly on the hit series The Office. We talked with the stars about the upcoming Office Games in Scranton on July 19th as well as the webisodes which start July 10th on NBC.com. Here's what two of our favorite Office workers had to say:
It's been almost a year since we've all been in Scranton and I know you're heading back there and Kevin I hear rumors you might stop in a little bit later this month too. What are you guys looking forward to going back to see again or maybe that you didn't experience the first time?
Mindy Kaling: I'm just ready for the food. I - the entire time we were there we toured all of like the different competing hotdog places and supers but I never got to have any food. So what I'm hoping is I'll have like 20 minutes to sit down and like eat a lobster with a bib on like Scranton people. That's like kind of the most exciting for me.
Brian Baumgartner: I heard they're actually, Mindy, they're not allowing you to eat when you're there.
Mindy Kaling: No, is that part of my contract, not eating?
Brian Baumgartner: That was part of it. There's no eating, you must work the entire time. That's what NBC has dictated. Sorry about that.
Mindy Kaling: This is the worst.
Brian Baumgartner: Yeah.
Mindy Kaling: This is the worst.
Brian Baumgartner: You know, I am excited, I am going back actually I think a week after Mindy. And one of the things that I am excited to do is I'm going to - I'm sure you guys have been seeing the lovely promos on NBC for Celebrity Family Feud but we did participate in that for a local Scranton charity called the Children's Advocacy Center of Northeastern Pennsylvania and it's located right in Scranton. And it is for victims of child abuse and they also do education and prevention programs.
And I am very excited actually to go and meet those people that we played for. And I think that episode is airing actually tomorrow night on NBC.
Mindy Kaling: Brian, in the family what position do you feel like you were and in your familial unit? Were you like the father, were you like a cousin?
Brian Baumgartner: I was - no, I was definitely the father.
Mindy Kaling: Okay.
Brian Baumgartner: Yeah, Creed was like the illegitimate son...
Mindy Kaling: Okay.
Brian Baumgartner: And everyone sort of had their role but I would definitely say that I was like daddy bear.
