Exactly one month from today, Primetime Emmy nominations come out. I've been a member of the academy for a few years now, and if I could tell my peers one thing, it would be this: I better see The Mindy Project nominated for best show, alongside Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina, and Ike Barinholtz in the performing categories. If you're reading this, you already know why it deserves multiple Emmy noms—there was no stronger comedy this season, period. Fox is making the push as well, hosting various For Your Consideration events to give Emmy members a chance to know what we've known all along: TV magic happened on TMP this season, and it's about time everyone recognized it. I caught up with the incomparable Mindy Kaling at Fox's Girls' Night Out evening to talk about that amazing finale and what's coming up in season three.

Glamour: The season-two finale was the best thing in the world. What was your favorite moment from that episode?

Mindy Kaling: Though the episode is called "Danny and Mindy," I thought Ike Barinholtz has never been funnier. There's that one sequence when Mindy had been using a secondary email account, and Ike's performance when he realizes it is just so heart-breakingly funny to me. Chris [Messina] is just so good in it, and the Bruce Springsteen running in the streets…we did this montage of stuff in New York, and those scenes were just so magical to shoot with him. It was kind of my favorite day to shoot anything ever.

Glamour: Speaking of Ike, he just got cast as the lead in a new movie [Universal's The Nest] with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Is that going to impact the number of episodes he's in or the ones that he writes?

Mindy: His writing partner, David Stassen, is on set, so Ike will be gone through preproduction. The good news is that he has a huge part in this movie, and he's doing the film with two women who have had their own network television shows. [As a result], Tina and Amy have both reached out to me knowing what it's like to miss one of your writers and have been very kind about it. Of course, this is the most fun, prestigious project to be a part of, so I'm very excited for him to get more exposure because he's so funny. That said, we do miss him, and he is sending ideas. He's going to write. It's not going to affect the number of episodes he writes, and I think he and David are actually going to direct an episode.
