Going to read her book. Never seen her in anything. Anyone got any opinions about her?

She was alright in The Office US. Haven't seen anything else she's done.

I really didn't like that book. Felt a bit pointless and unfunny.

QuoteKaling is a 1% owner of Swansea City A.F.C., a Welsh football team based in Swansea, Wales.

Nowhere Man

She was in a recent episode of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, although she had a pretty boring character in that.

Twed

Her outward comedic persona is that of a Cathy Comics pain in the arse, which makes it difficult for me to want to delve into her work. The only other place I've seen her is in advertising. It would be nice to hear she's actually really good or something.

Custard

Good in The Office. I lasted one episode of her solo show

Worth emphasising that she wrote and later directed many classic Office US episodes, and her acting on the show is only a tip of the iceberg style fraction of her total creative input into it. Always found it odd to think that her and BJ Novak played the most shallow and gauche characters on the show when behind the scenes they were writing the scripts and directing their older co-stars around while they were still in their fucking twenties. Now, that to me is living the life. Ah, the 00s. I didn't have a cool time then, but other people sure did!

Oddly similar to Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash (except the twenties bit).
