Bonus Track: Mindy Hearts Ricky
Mindy Kaling (creator and star of The Mindy Project and a writer/performer on The Office) grew up thinking I Love Lucy was “one of the many black and white things that people keep telling you is so great… and you’re just sort of bored and annoyed by it.” Then her Office boss Greg Daniels ordered her to watch it. She came away with a pretty serious crush on Ricky Ricardo. And she says she’s not bothered by jokes about his accent.
