Picture it: Kimmy Schmidt and Kimmy Gibbler, Netflix's two Kimmys (from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Fuller House, respectively) meeting. What would this meeting of the Kimmys look like?

"Something would explode because it would be two similar minds in the same room," Ellie Kemper, who plays the titular Unbreakable character, told E! News at the Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season two premiere. "The fact that they even exist in the same universe is crazy. I have such a strong attachment—I have not checked out Fuller House yet—but I have such a strong attachment to Kimmy Gibbler from when I was a child. I feel like their heads would burst. That's what the meeting would be like."

And of course, the clothes would be loud.

"Yes! A lot of bright clothing. I'm you, you're me, like [Kaboom]. But I think after their heads exploded they'd become very good friends," Kemper concluded.

Andrea Barber returned to the role of Kimmy Gibbler, the Tanner family's neighbor and best friend to DJ (Candace Cameron Bure), for Fuller House, more than 20 years after Full House ended. The sequel series has already been renewed for a second season, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt's second season premieres all 13 episodes on Friday, April 15. The comedy, which was created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, also stars Tituss Burgess, Carol Kane and Jane Krakowski. Netflix has already handed out a third season renewal to the Emmy-nominated series.
