Aziz Ansari Spills BTS Deets Of Netflix Show ‘Master Of None’ In Twitter Q&A


Funny man and stereotype-smasher Aziz Ansari has a new TV show about town, because nice things *do* happen to people still on a Parks and Recreation comedown.

It’s called ‘Master of None‘, and ICYMI its season one Netflix premier, it’s getting absolute rave reviews for its funny and honest portrayal of immigrant life in America.

“You see The Social Network?” his character Dev asks in the trailer. “The Indian guy is a white guy.”

“No no, I read that he’s one-sixteenth Indian,” his mate says.

“Who cares?” Dev replies. “If you go back far enough we’re all one-sixteenth something. I’m probably one-sixteenth black. You think they’re gonna let me play Blade?”

With the levels of rampant love for Master of None as they are, and with Aziz being the unpretentious nice dude that he is, old mate Ansari hosted a Twitter Q&A, answering dozens of Master of None-slanted questions about:
