Who’s That Girl? Meet The Office’s Ellie Kemper

Complex’s new weekly feature “Who’s That Girl?” spotlights an up-and-coming woman we’ve got our eye on.

If you watch NBC’s The Office religiously like we do, you’ve probably noticed Dunder Mifflin’s cute new secretary, played by Ellie Kemper. This St. Louis native has had quite a career so far, working with comedy troupes like the People’s Improv Theatre and the Upright Citizens Brigade, writing for smart publications like The Onion and McSweeney’s, and appearing in sketches on various late night shows and websites. And after her breakout Office role, she should be a household name in no time. Watch 5 clips that made us take notice of Ellie Kemper below…
