Late Night, 2019
Mindy Kaling drew inspiration for her 2019 comedy “Late Night” from the world of late night television. The film stars Emma Thompson as a veteran late night TV personality who is on the verge of being fired by the network and enlists the help of a new (and inexperienced) writer (played by Kaling) to add some diversity to her all-male writing staff. The comedy contains elements of a mismatched buddy movie, a behind-the-scenes Hollywood story, and middle-aged drama. Thompson is outstanding as she plays a woman attempting to keep up with the times.
