Hold on to your backpacks people, cuz’ Ellie Kemper is here! Her roles in The Office, The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Bridesmaids are nothing short of iconic. We passionately discuss energy hoarding, family and setting boundaries at work. Newsflash: Me and Ellie are deeply on the same page about virtually EVERYTHING. I couldn't let her go without asking about her big break on The Office, and how she became a deceased ghost the moment she found out Tina Fey wrote a TV show just for her.

Please note, we recorded this interview before the SAG-AFTRA actors strike began.
