Aziz Ansari: The Modern Romantic of Comedynew
You know him as the government employee with the most swagger (Tom Haverford, Parks and Recreation), the rambunctious, Oligocene-era rabbit pirate Squint (Ice Age: Continental Drift) and the guy at James Franco’s party who gets kicked into hell’s sinkhole by Kevin Hart (This is the End). And, of course, just as standup comedian Aziz Ansari. We caught up with Ansari via the interwebs while he was doing book research in Tokyo to chat modern courtship, Parks and Rec and his superior sartorial style.
