Mindy Kaling wants to retire in this mass vacation destination

Cambridge native Mindy Kaling isn’t retiring yet, but a popular vacation spot in Mass. could be one of the leading contenders for where she’ll live when she does.

Kaling joined Ted Danson on the “TODAY” show Tuesday morning. The duo, who raise awareness for plaque psoriasis, have never worked together before, but Kaling mentioned Danson in her 2015 memoir, host Sheinelle Jones pointed out.

Jones said Kaling wrote that she wanted to retire to “a tasteful mega-resort on Martha’s Vineyard, where I would write plays and drink wine with Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen at least several times a week “.

“So we thought let’s make your dreams come true quickly, we’ll bring the wine,” Jones said as a “Today” show employee purchased glasses of wine for the group.

Danson and Steenburgen are no strangers to Martha’s Vineyard. They were married on the island in 1995 and own a house there.

“I think what I was writing was that when I become a multi-billionaire with all my TV money, this is what I want to do: retire to the Vineyard and have Ted Danson tell me stories with Mary,” Kaling said.

Then she turned to Danson and said, “Where is Mary?” You are only half of this fantasy.

“She’s in Portland shooting a movie,” Danson said. “And her only thing for me today was telling Mindy how spectacular she looked at the Met Gala. Nothing about me.

“I can’t take you to Martha’s Vineyard but we have studio 1A, we have Rockefeller Center,” Jones said while having a glass of wine.

“Hi,” Danson said, clinking glasses with Kaling.

Kaling, a spokesperson with Danson for the Bristol Myers Squibb Plague Psoriasis Campaign, doesn’t suffer from skin problems like Danson. Danson said he had been dealing with a medical issue since he was 25 years old.

Danson also talked about his new podcast with his former castmate on the long-running NBC show “Cheers,” famous for being set in Boston, called “Where Everyone Knows Your Name with Ted Danson and Woody Harrelson ( Sometimes) “.
