On February 18th, 2025, actress, writer, and producer Mindy Kaling was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Joining her on this momentous occasion was her longtime friend and fellow “The Office” alum, B.J. Novak.
Novak,who played the charmingly dysfunctional Ryan Howard,took the stage to deliver a heartfelt speech,showering Kaling with praise for her immense talent and character.
“Congratulations, my soup snake,” novak quipped at the end of his speech, drawing a chuckle from the crowd.
The endearing nickname likely referenced a scene from Season 5 of “The Office,” where Michael scott, played by Steve Carell, dubs himself and Holly Flax, portrayed by Amy Ryan, as “soup snakes.” This affectionate label, though initially amusing, ultimately evolves into a metaphor for their deep connection, reflecting Scott’s yearning for a soulmate in Flax.
novak’s speech was a perfect blend of humor and sincerity. While he playfully poked fun at Kaling’s occasionally superficial nature, he also highlighted her profound impact on her fans.
“It’s unfeasible to leave a restaurant with her without people wanting not just a picture, but to share a memory or an anecdote about why she matters so much,” Novak observed.
The undeniable warmth and admiration radiating from Novak’s words served as a testament to the genuine bond they share, one forged through years of friendship and collaboration.
The evening served as a beautiful celebration of Kaling’s exceptional career and the unwavering support of those closest to her. Her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame stands as a symbol of her enduring influence on entertainment and popular culture.
