While we were all busy trying to decide which joke about George Clooney was the most gratuitous of the Golden Globes, comedian and actor Aziz Ansari was spending his Sunday evening devoted to more worthy causes. Specifically, he was calling out Fox News pond scum Rupert Murdoch for his legacy of racist bullshit and… » 1/11/15 11:45pm 1/11/15 11:45pm

This video of Grover and Aziz Ansari is just ridiculous. Totally, totally ridiculous. » 10/22/14 11:50am 10/22/14 11:50am

Aziz, to Letterman Monday night: "My girlfriend has influence on me. She's a big feminist. That made me think about those kinds of issues. I'm a feminist as well. Any feminists out here: clap if you're a feminist?" » 10/07/14 1:30pm 10/07/14 1:30pm

I have mixed feelings about Parks & Recreation (mostly good, but I just got stuck halfway through Season 6 and can't bring myself to watch it), but my favorite part is probably any instance of Aziz Ansari's Tom Haverford pitching one of his ridiculous ideas, or just sharing one of those classic Haverfordisms. They… » 8/02/14 2:40pm 8/02/14 2:40pm

OH, HELLO, REASON WORDS WERE INVENTED. It's just my favorite story of all of life. As you may or may not know, Aziz Ansari famously tells a story in which he sat near 50 Cent in a restaurant and the rapper didn't know what a grapefruit was. After a long, long silence, the rapper has finally SPOKEN OUT TO CLEAR HIS… » 6/03/14 8:00pm 6/03/14 8:00pm

One nitpick: isn't saying 'Aziz Ansari sari' like saying 'ATM machine'? Whatever, just watch this. » 12/03/13 3:10pm 12/03/13 3:10pm

How is Aziz Ansari not all of our husbands? I feel like he'd be into that. Right? I mean, he likes to eat out a lot. I don't know what I'm saying, but think about it. (Don't.) » 11/08/13 9:30am 11/08/13 9:30am

In this clip from his upcoming Netflix special, comedic powerhouse/Harris' cousin Aziz Ansari puts that whole matrimony thing into perspective, envisioning what a proposal would look like if marriage never existed. Sure enough, the whole idea of nuptials now seems a lot creepier than those wedding videos set to Bruno… » 10/25/13 5:15pm 10/25/13 5:15pm

This is a few days old, but still worth a watch. Aziz Ansari was one of the many standups to perform at the Comedy Central Roast of James Fanco over the weekend. It's normal and usually acceptable for comedians at roasts to get nasty and personal when joking about the other people in attendance (and not just the… » 9/05/13 6:00pm 9/05/13 6:00pm

Comedian-cum-author Aziz Ansari will be bringing his latest hourlong set of "Did I mention I hang out with Kanye?" jokes to Netflix this November. His new special, Buried Alive, is premiering on the streaming giant first before being made available via other modes of distribution. » 8/29/13 9:58pm 8/29/13 9:58pm

Tatiana Maslany — who is beyond brilliant as clones trying to make it in a non-clone world on BBC America's Orphan Black — has booked a two-episode arc on NBC's Parks & Recreation as Tom Haverford's love interest. It would be so awesome if she played the clones, because I have a feeling they might be the ladies to… » 8/22/13 12:00pm 8/22/13 12:00pm

In today's Tweet Beat, Jessie J is honest about how bad her bad flight really was, Liam Payne uses some language best reserved for those without delicate ears, and Aziz Ansari and Shonda Rhimes need to schedule a working lunch STAT. » 8/21/13 7:30pm 8/21/13 7:30pm

Julia Roberts' half-sister Nancy Motes, who weighed 300 pounds before undergoing gastric bypass surgery in 2010, says that her relationship with Julia has been testy since Motes was in her teens and Roberts broke into stardom after Pretty Woman. Apparently Roberts would not let Motes forget that she was a Fat Woman. » 8/10/13 11:30am 8/10/13 11:30am

Brown face in Halloween costumes? Not cool, according to Aziz Ansari, the comedian behind Parks & Recreation’s Tom Haverford, the most spot-on, pitch-perfect and hyphen-hyperbole-inducing portrayal of douchebaggery in a generation. » 10/31/12 1:31pm 10/31/12 1:31pm

Parks and Recreation is coming back this fall (yay!) and to get you excited, they're borrowing a little of your leftover Olympic fever. Watch as Tom Haverford attempts to wrestle Ron Swanson to the ground, only to tucker himself out before even knocking Ron off balance. Still, let's be fair — is there anyone in the… » 8/13/12 4:45pm 8/13/12 4:45pm

In a modern take on the Ab Fab Saffy and Edina relationship, it's been revealed that Frances Bean Cobain is taking control and now owns all the rights to her dad Kurt's image, likeness and publicity, after using her mom Courtney Love's request for a multi-million-dollar loan as leverage. With Love coming to her… » 5/04/12 9:00am 5/04/12 9:00am
