Mindy Kaling Just Revealed Her Top 5 Favorite Episodes of The Office

Mindy Kaling has been synonymous with first-rate comedy ever since she got her start as Kelly Kapoor on NBC’s The Office. Kaling didn’t only star in the hit mockumentary series, she also served as a writer, producer, and director on various episodes throughout the show’s nine-season run. 

During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen Kaling revealed her top five favorite episodes of the legendary comedy show. The perfect excuse to watch The Office for the umpteenth time is finally here! (It's available on Peacock!) 

Take Kaling’s advice and start with these five essential episodes.

Michael voluntarily demotes himself when he finds out he’ll get paid more as a member of the sales team. Unfortunately, things don’t go according to plan. 

“The Dundies” (Season 2, Episode 1)
