'Mindy Project' star Mindy Kaling stopped by this morning's TODAY and admitted that kissing guys is 'one of the perks of the job' "She's kissed more men in a season than men I've met in my entire life," Kaling joked to Today's Savannah Guthrie.

Mindy's romances have so far included guest stars Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, B.J. Novak and Seth Rogen, plus her co-star Chris Messina, who plays co-worker Danny. And as creator and writer of the show, Kaling has a lot of say in just who she'll be locking lips with next.

When the show last aired in January, viewers were left hanging following a steamy kiss which appeared destined to lead to a new relationship. So will next week's fresh episode signal the beginning of the end of Kaling's list of potential partners? "We pick up right where we left off," Kaling promised. "We don't string anyone along. I'm too impatient. We just like keep hitting you, there's so much comedy."

"The Mindy Project" returns April 1 with a special one-hour episode on FOX at 9 p.m.

About THE MINDY PROJECT:

THE MINDY PROJECT is a single-camera comedy created by and starring Emmy Award-nominated writer/producer and New York Times best-selling author Mindy Kaling ("The Office"). Returning for its second season, the series follows a skilled OB/GYN trying to balance both her personal and professional life.

Dr. MINDY LAHIRI (Kaling) is a talented obstetrician with a hectic personal life, who struggles to find the right guy, the right outfit and the right attitude.  Mindy shares a practice with two doctors, neither of whom makes life any easier for her. Dr. DANNY CASTELLANO (Chris Messina) is a hothead and a guys' guy who criticizes her for everything, including her struggling love life and her lack of professionalism – even though it's obvious to everyone except Mindy that he secretly admires her work. In contrast, Dr. JEREMY REED (Ed Weeks) is the walking definition of bad news, and everything comes easy to this suave skinny jean-wearing Brit. 

Rounding out the medical staff is male nurse MORGAN TOOKERS (Ike Barinholtz), a reformed ex-con with a heart of gold who, despite his best intentions, always seems to land himself in trouble; the hospital's resident cheerleader, BETSY PUTCH (Zoe Jarman), a young, earnest and easily excitable receptionist; the grumpy and absent-minded nurse BEVERLY (Beth Grant); and the newest addition to the nurse station, TAMRA (Xosha Roquemore), a girl who would rather dish gossip and dole out beauty tips than do anything resembling work.
