As we gaze into the approaching abyss that is Steve Carell’s departure from The Office, Mindy Kaling’s promotion to executive producer gives us hope, like a rope ladder coming out of the abyss, or a ledge to stand on that makes it not really an abyss anymore. (Maybe this means Kelly Kapoor will be getting a promotion too? I can only imagine how many Beyonce videos she would show in the conference room.) Kaling’s gonna be busy this fall, what with the new job and the promotion of her upcoming book. (But possibly not too busy to restart her hilarious and now-defunct shopping blog Things I Bought That I Love? Please, Mindy. We need your blog.)
