    You, me and the apocalypse was great.
    She has also written a nice book on her experience on getting into the business. I would recommend it for any young people.

    The impression I get is that the most recent allegations against Savage are continued/ enhanced investigations into the previous allegations, which have turned up additional supporting evidence, providing the justifications for yanking his contracts, if not filing any criminal charges.

    Met him at a bar in Fairfield, CT, in the late 90s when he was doing community theater or something. He was more interested in macking on one of the girls I was hanging with, not that I can blame him. Didn't seem like the type to follow a woman into the bathroom and sexually assault her. That's really disturbing.

    I'd take offense with Jenna Fischer being on that list a lot more than Mindy Kaling. Fischer showed her chops on "Walk Hard" with John C. Reilly.

    Pratt is one of the great physical comedians of the last 20-30 years.

    I think there is a balance of giving them a character and story to work with and allowing them create comedy as the filming happens.

    Reilly and Tim Meadows are as funny as two human beings can be in that movie. Fischer was good. But then Blades of Glory (shivers)….

    They don't make innuendo any better than this.

    Mindy Kaling seems to get more attention for being a non-white woman in a white male dominated field than for being funny. It's not that she's not funny, just that the stuff she writes is unremarkable.

    The Mindy Project had some laughs.

    Guy she's interested in: "You dress like a rapper's publicist."
    Mindy: "Awwww, thank you!"

    I find it remarkable that she thought she had some much to say, she wrote three memoirs before 40.

    She was 'discovered' doing a show called Matt&Ben (didn't see the show. Just assumed it was good) and wrote for The Office, so she has something on her fastball.
