Actress and comedian Ellie Kemper is engaged! The Office and Bridesmaids star announced her engagement to Michael Koman on Conan Wednesday night.
"My family likes him a lot. They've met him many times," she told him. "My parents are very warm, welcoming people to begin with, but also, Michael's a delight."
Her grandfather didn't seem to think so though when he first met him. Ellie went on to tell Conan about the hilarious Thanksgiving she experienced a few years ago with her now fiance and grandfather, a World War II veteran. It was quite clear to her that good ole' pops was trying to sway her decision in keeping Michael around. "So we finished dinner and we went to the kitchen to have dessert. There was a pumpkin pie and a pecan pie out, and my grandpa said, 'Ellie, what kind of pie are you gonna have?' and I said, 'I don't know, grandpa. They both look really good. I think I'll have pecan.' He said, 'Are you sure, Ellie, because it's okay to keep your options open. You don't have to settle on a pie right now."
Well, apparently she did. Congratulations to the happy couple!
