MINDY KALING GETS REAL ABOUT MEETING TINA & AMY

The 30 Rock writer spilled a memorable first encounter with two comedy legends on Amy Poehler's podcast.

Mindy Kaling is NOT holding back! The 47-year-old comedy queen opened up on Amy Poehler's "Good Hang" podcast (Tuesday, June 30) about a hilarious first meeting with Tina Fey and Poehler herself. "I don't know why I remember this story, and I'm not proud of it," Kaling confessed—which, naturally, means this tale is GOLD.

The unforgettable moment went down while Kaling was guest-writing for Saturday Night Live, back in the day when she was soaking up wisdom from two of comedy's absolute TITANS. Whatever went down, it clearly left an impression—the kind you can't shake, even years later!

What we're DYING to know: What's the full story, Mindy?! SNL writer rooms are legendary for chaos and hilarity, and if these three comedy powerhouses have memories to swap, we're here for EVERY. SINGLE. WORD. Kaling's openness about her past is exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes gold that keeps us coming back to hear what really goes on when the cameras stop rolling.
