The Best Ellie Kemper Movies And TV Shows (And How To Watch Them)
Ellie Kemper has been making a name for herself in comedy for some time now. From big roles in shows like The Office, to her own Netflix series, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, it’s no wonder that she’s been nominated for several awards.
Currently, she’s starring in Home Sweet Home Alone, a Disney+ original movie, but now, we’re going to take a look back on some of her best work, and how you can watch it. These are some of the best Ellie Kemper movies and TV shows that are streaming right now.
The Office (2009 – 2013)
Arguably, The Office is how a lot of people found out about Ellie Kemper. This iconic sitcom is about the lives of the workers at Dunder Mifflin Paper Company, and how they constantly have to deal with their leader, Michael Scott, who can be a good boss at times – but is mostly just a mess.
Ellie Kemper played Erin, a recurring character at first, who replaced Pam when she stopped working as Dunder Mifflin’s secretary, but overtime her character became much more important and she graduated to being a main cast member. While I’ll always have a special place in my heart for Pam as the secretary, I must say that there’s something wholesome about Erin that I really enjoy. The poor girl was so new at her job that she was constantly getting crapped on by Michael, but she learned how to be the best secretary. You gotta admire her perseverance – despite being a little kooky.

Bridesmaids (2011)
Bridesmaids follows Annie, a young woman who suffers a series of misfortunes when she is is asked to serve as the maid of honor at her best friends’ wedding, causing a ridiculous amount of chaos.
Kemper plays naïve newlywed Becca, one of the several hilarious bridesmaids in the Bridesmaids cast, but honestly, this entire ensemble is just *chef’s kiss.*
Here, Kemper really shows just how perfect her comedic timing is. Her line on the plane when she says “Excuse me, um, could I have a glass of alcohol when you get the chance?” is so adorable and hilarious it gets me every time. Sweet, reserved Becca. Kemper and everyone here created one of the funniest comedies yet.
