Mindy Kaling Was the Worst Intern Ever

Back when your imaginary best friend Mindy Kaling was a sophomore in college, she got the chance to intern for her comedy hero Conan O’Brien. You would think that, given the opportunity, the 19-year-old Kaling would have done her best to work hard and attract the attention of the higher ups, but that’s not the case. Mindy was a guest on Conan last night (look how far she’s come!) where she revealed, “I was the worst intern that’s ever worked on the program…I wanted to work there not to learn how to photocopy things, but to watch you so I wouldn’t do my things that I was hired to do, I would just kind of follow you around.”

Looks like it worked out for her.
