Ellie Kemper on The Today Show

9 comments

1. She’s got such a cute personality just like her character.

   It’s just so annoying that they were rushing her and talking over her during most of the interview.

2. Ellie is an absolute doll. Love her!

   (And I didn’t know she auditioned for Parks and Rec. Good trivia!)

3. She is so precious! I want to be her BFF! :) I wish they gave her more time for an interview though. A min & 35 sec? Come on, Today Show!

4. Ellie rocks!! Great addition to the show and can’t wait to see what becomes of “Endy!” Heehee!

5. That was short. Would’ve love to have heard more about the Parks & Rec audition process (what part she interviewed for, how they decided instead to offer her a part on The Office, etc)

6. Exsqueeze me? The Today Show is what, 4 hours, and they don’t have five minutes for Ellie Kemper? Ridiculous!
   But still, awesome interview. I wonder what Parks&Rec part she tried out for? Probably Anne.

   [from tanster: interesting. i was thinking april!]

7. She seems like someone I’d love to hang out with! I noticed a bit of an accent but I couldn’t place it. I wonder where she’s from.

8. #7-

   She is from St. Louis, Missouri. The same as Jenna Fischer. And Phyllis Smith is from a little bit away from there as well. Also Ken Kwapis is from Belleville, Illinois. Which is about 20-30 minutes away from STL.

9. Not only was the interview 90 seconds, but they wouldn’t let her say more than a word at a time! We still love you Ellie!!
