Though Maya Rudolph ended up playing Lillian Donovan in "Bridesmaids", Kaling revealed that she was also up for the part of Lillian during a September 2014 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen". "No one ever calls me in to audition for things because I'm so specific," Kaling said, which is why she was thrilled to read for the role. "I practiced it so much and was so into it and I loved that whole cast," she added. "That was one that was a heartbreaker."
