“It was one of those things that was so juicy because I would never want someone to write about me and my life. I would, I would die. Like, I'm just too private and too much ego. And they were like, "No, do whatever." You know, Jeanie (Buss) loves comedy so much. She was a fan of “The Office.” She's married to a stand-up. And she just was like, "No, do it and make it funny. As long as it's funny, I don't care what you say.” And so we were like, "Wow, before she decides that this is a bad decision, we should do that.”

Hudson: “I literally read the log line. I was like, "I'm gonna do this show." I didn't even read it. I was like —“

Song: “Wait, really?”

Hudson: “Oh, yeah, I knew it. I just knew it right away. I read it, and I was like, "Loosely based on Jeanie Buss and the family dynamic” and Mindy. And I was like, I'd already in my mind was like, "Oh, this is gonna be a yes."

SOUNDBITE (English) Brenda Song and Kate Hudson, Actor:

Song: “I heard "Untitled Basketball Project" written by Mindy Kaling starring Kate Hudson. I was like, "I will do anything. I will be a PA's PA on this set." It's like my dream project. Mindy knows I was a huge fan of “The Office” and a huge fan of “The Mindy Project.”

Hudson: “And basketball.”

Song: “Oh, yeah, hugely. And the thing is, like, I, growing up in LA, not only just being a Lakers fan, but also just knowing that Jeanie, what she did to the Lakers and what her family means to that industry is insane. And to just have a little inside look in that has been such a dream. This is truly my dream project from top to bottom. And I just feel so grateful to be sitting here because I feel like this experience has been unlike anything else. I've never been on a set where I, like, literally come to set. And I'm talking to Dave Stassen, our showrunner, probably more about the game last night and the game that's coming up, more than we're actually discussing scenes. It's so much fun. I've never gotten more voice notes from my boss talking about the draft than I do on this show.”

Song: “My favorite is it's such a treat when we do, like, a table read, and Mindy plays, like, 14 characters. We’re like, “Yes!”

Kaling: “No, I'm acting my heart out. I'm like — It's so thirsty. But it's like, you know, it's the one little, like, someone, Kate will need to go to, like, a Subway, and I'm selling her a sandwich on the table read, and I'm just like, "Let me play the part."

Hudson: Yeah, I'm like, "Guys, is Mindy OK?”

Kaling: “Yeah, I know. I know.”

“The Brenda Song Nation that comes into my Instagram, Brenda's, like, in the corner of a shot, like, getting touched up in a shot of me and Ike (Barinholtz) and they’re like, "Get pretty, Queen. We love you, Brenda Song Nation forever."

Hudson: “So great.”
