(CNN) Mindy Kaling is "really excited" about becoming a first-time mom.

In a new interview with NBC's "Today" show, "The Mindy Project" star confirmed her long-rumored pregnancy and was candid about her feelings entering the realm of parenting.

"It's so unknown to me," she told Willie Geist in an interview airing in full on September 10. "I have a lot of control over a lot of aspects of my life and this is one where I'm like, 'Okay, it's out of my hands,' which is kind of a fun feeling."
