In an episode slated to appear early in the fall, Rhimes will play herself, Fox confirms. No further plot details have been made available about the guest spot, which is in keeping with the secrecy Rhimes holds around her own show, “Scandal.” The showrunner, creator and producer is responsible for ABC’s entire upcoming Thursday lineup.
Rhimes says she is a huge fan of both Mindy Kaling and “The Mindy Project,” which kicks off its third season on Tuesday, Sept. 16 at 9:30/8:30c.
