Also in Variety, Mindy Kaling, an actor, writer, and producer on The Office, has signed a deal to create her own show:
Under terms of the two-year, seven-figure deal, Kaling will continue to write for and appear on "The Office" next season while simultaneously developing a comedy in which she would also star.
"This is my first step in a Transformers-style way to take over the whole world," Kaling quipped. "I've only ever worked for NBC, and I've felt an enormous amount of support from the executives there."
Other details remain vague, but any deal that leads to more Kaling comedy can't be a bad thing, right?
