>> Making that announcement
right there in a classic episode
of the office.
>> The award winning actor and
writer and producer joins us
now.
So great to see you.
You know, it is funny.
Obviously coming off of a scene
there from "The office."
A huge hit to get another
generation streaming.
We are excited to have you back
on peacock.
It pushed the envelope by
today's standards.
Do you think you could do a show
like that today?
>> I know you are an amazing
show, "Saved by the bell."
There is so much more
representation for people on
shows.
One of the damage now is there
is more fear about content.
"The office" didn't worry that
people would be offended.
It was kind of like people can
handle it.
I think people like to watch
shows that don't like, you know,
treat them like they can't
handle things.
>> We love how close that the
cast is.
Is it true that B.J. Novak is
your kid's god parent.
>> He is doing great.
He has a TV show.
>> How is he has the god parent.
>> I thought you meant
professionally.
I meant he is killing it.
He is great.
My daughter is three.
He is a children's author.
He is killing it reading stories
to her.
Yeah.
My son is eight months old.
We will see how he is with the
little one.
>> Speaking of daughters, how is
my girl kit doing with her
younger brother Spencer?
>> She is resisting a lot of
discipline these days.
She is a handful but a lot of
fun.
>> Yeah.
>> She has to take the name
properly.
Kit, needs to be a little bit of
a rascal with a heart of gold.
>> Did you know Mariah Carey is
a huge fan of yours?
She loves your Netflix series
"Never have I ever."
Makes it fun.
>> I am a huge Mariah Carey fan.
Emancipation of Mimi got me
through so many breakups.
If she ever wanted to be on the
show we would be so excited.
I'm not how sure it would make
sense but whatever.
We will make it work.
>> We can figure it out.
What can we expect for season 2
of never have I ever?
>> Well, I think we have really
good surprises.
I am always the person blowing
surprises.
We have common that is going to
be on the show as a love
interest for the mom character.
He is so funny.
So handsome.
That will be on Netflix in July.
So we're excited.
>> Congrats on that.
I can appreciate you and your
fitness drink.
Tell me about it.
>> I am literally drinking it
because it is my favorite
flavor.
So excited to partner with
propel.
I was used it before I partnered
with them.
They are like do you want to do
commercials for us.
I am like why not.
I have been drinking it through
the pandemic, vitamin C, it has
been great.
I like it because I don't feel
like I look like someone who
should advertise fitness water.
I exercise and I am a normal
American woman with fitness
goals.
>> You have so much going on,
Mindy.
A lot of people excited about
"Legally blonde 3."
It will mark 20 years since the
first film came out.
Why is it the right time right
now?
>> I think she is such an iconic
character.
We saw her at 21.
Now that it has been 20 years, I
am still curious what the
character is like as a woman in
her 40s.
Is she a mom.
Does that kind of personality
stand up now.
The script that we wrote has so
many parts -- it's super funny.
She is such a role model.
Bringing back the specific elle
wood tank.
I can't wait to see Reese rock
that color.
>> You are a child of immigrants
too.
What do your parents and family
make of all of this?
>> My parents, a child of Asian
immigrants.
We have a mentality of work
hard, don't draw attention.
Follow the rules.
I think what is so nice about
seeing young minority people
online, there is a fearlessness
with them.
They are activists.
They don't worry about making a
stir.
And there has been great
movements that have come from it
and great art.
I look at your show.
My friend Tracy, the creator of
the new saved by the bell.
The representation on the show
and the fact that it is so funny
too is just awesome.
I think there is so much great
stuff going on.
Yeah.
I used to not talk about being a
child of immigrants as much and
now I feel like I can say it
proudly.
>> You are paving the way.
Great talking to you.
>> Congrats on everything.
You can watch season 2 of
Netflix's "Never have I ever" in
July.
