Emma Thompson & Mindy Kaling are interviewed for their movie Late Night which is written by Kaling specifically for Emma Thompson to play. Emma Thompson stars as Katherine Newbury, a pioneer and legendary host on the talk-show circuit, while Kaling stars as Molly, the hot young writer new to the all-male writing room just bristling with ideas.

To celebrate the release of Late Night - written by the comedic talent that is Mindy Kaling, and starring the luminary Emma Thompson, we had the pleasure to sit down with the two women to talk about the comedy that has been much talked about ever since its Sundance premiere earlier this year.

Kaling - who also takes a starring role in the film - discusses whether she had any freedom crafting the character Thompson portrays; of a late night talk show host, given how few women feature in this very profession. Thompson tells us why she felt so compelled to play the role, and they also touch upon establishing the film's tricky tone; to remain comedic throughout and yet be so profoundly pertinent, exploring a variety of relevant topics. The film feels very much of a product of the MeToo and TimesUp movements, and so we asked the two if they have felt any shift from within the industry, in the wake of this essential spotlight.

Directed by Nisha Ganatra, Max Casella, Hugh Dancy, John Lithgow, Denis O’Hare, Reid Scott, and Amy Ryan co-star.

Plot: A late-night talk-show host suspects that she may soon lose her long-running show.
