Aside from her morning sickness, Kemper also talked about her pregnancy cravings. For her first trimester, she mentioned that she's overly addicted to ice cream. During her interview with Jimmy Fallon, Ellie Kemper revealed her favorite ice cream flavor.
"I'm not just saying this because it's your show - Tonight Dough is my favorite flavor," Kemper told Fallon. "I have been having a pint every other night. That is not a joke. I will probably fall asleep while I eat this because it's going to be like a Pavlovian response because I fall asleep eating it every night."
Ellie Kemper was then asked if her pregnancy affected her career performance. The 35-year-old actress told ET that her pregnancy was not a big deal, but there were instances wherein she needed to tell Tina Frey about the bun in the oven as it might affect her role.
"It didn't really affect filming until the very end," Ellie Kemper stated. "We had a table read, and my character is supposed to be on a rollercoaster...It was still very early on, but I felt like a pregnant lady on a roller coaster was not ideal so I had to tell my boss, Tina Fey. She knows every secret. I told her before I told my mom."
