Mindy Kaling dropped by the TODAY plaza for an extended visit Tuesday, and ended up talking about James Franco ("dreamy"), the season 2 premiere of her FOX series "The Mindy Project," ... and her hairstyle.
Later, she returned for a second chat indoors with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford — and a half naked bartender, of course.
Kaling discussed her show's improvisational feel, the overlap between her character and her real self, and that chopped hairdo that left her looking "like a little Indian boy."
"The Mindy Project" airs Tuesdays at 9:30 p.m. on FOX.
