Aziz: You don't have a team in South Carolina. You know, if you're a kid back then, you just like Michael Jordan. If you live in a place like South Carolina — and you don't have a basketball team? That's the thing, you can get away with liking the Bulls, and it's not cheesy — because you don't fucking have a basketball team. So I liked the Bulls. It was during the whole three-peat heyday, and I was obsessed with Michael Jordan. Daniel: So did all the kids in your school have different teams?
Or was everyone on the Jordan bandwagon? Aziz: I don't know, I mean what kid didn't like Michael Jordan? Otherwise it just seemed so obvious that you're trying to be cool, " I don't like Michael Jordan … " Really? You don't like the guy who's the best? You're not a fan? You didn't like Game 6? You didn't think that was cool? Aziz: It's weird, once you do all this stuff, you meet all these people. I don't know. They're really cool — they build these green homes in the Ninth Ward — and they asked me to intro Seal.
So for Seal's intro bit, I said "Ladies and gentlemen, Seal's running a little late, so they asked me whether I wouldn't mind singing one of his hit songs for him, maybe delay a little. So I said, "Well, it seems like people are really into the version I'm doing, so maybe I should just go ahead and finish … " [ Now, Aziz starts rushing a little through the song … ] He's coming to the stage right now? Aziz: I'm like weirdly obsessed with that song, so it was so fun to sing it and know that he was actually hearing me sing it.
That was pretty awesome. And they also had like a charity auction, where they had this dinner, where all the best chefs in New Orleans made all their best dishes, with all this incredible food and wine and stuff, and I had a few drinks and was having a good time — and they had a charity auction and I won — me and a friend won a cameo walk-on in the next Tyler Perry movie.
So I won that …. Daniel: That's pretty funny. Tyler Perry's going to be like, what the fuck? How'd Aziz Ansari end up in my movie? Aziz: Yeah, like other people were bidding — like other people who are never going to be in movies … [ Laughing. What's going to be really fun is picking which of my friends gets to do it with me. Aziz: I'm doing this thing in this movie, called The Apocalypse. And it's basically all of us playing ourselves.
Me, McBride, Jonah, Seth — everyone's playing themselves, and the bit is James Franco's having a party at his house, and the Apocalypse starts happening. Aziz: Yeah, that's shooting in New Orleans. And then I'm also developing a few movies. Developing movies is so slow, though. I do these interviews where I mention what I'm doing and people are like, "Oh — are you shooting that next week?
Bridesmaids took five years, Pineapple Express took, like, seven years …. Daniel: Oh yeah, you should order some dessert. I saw those pictures on Twitter. You should order some for sure …. Daniel: OK, dessert seems like the right time to end this.
And I thought we could end it with … "10 Random Questions! Daniel: Question 1: You get to pick the pizza — no one else gets to weigh in on the toppings. Aziz: No, no — wait. To be honest? I'd ask the pizza place, "What are you guys really known for? What's the most popular thing?
Nothing bums me out more than, "Aww, I could have had the perfect thing and I didn't! Daniel: OK — here you go: God comes down and says, "Aziz, you've been good. I'm giving you a freebie. You can sleep with ANY woman in the world. And she will desire you as well. But you have to be decisive. You have to tell me in 10 seconds. And that actress. She's beautiful. Daniel: Yeah, Hitchcock was always famous for saying he never saw a romance on the screen that didn't finish up later in the trailer.
She was also in that Bertolucci movie, The Dreamers. And, uh … my wife is going to love this part of the interview. I also like that Eva Mendes. Who else … if I name a third one, will you name one current actress? But that would be amazing. And David Fincher. I'd like to do something serious. I think I could do it. That's pretty good, right? You know how chocolate makes you feel real good …? Aziz: Sadly. But I don't know, man — you hear these stories about ghosts and stuff … sounds pretty convincing!
That seems a little too crazy that that happened. And maybe there are ghosts?? Daniel: No. I mean, it would be cool. Nothing would be cooler than to know there's an afterlife, but no.
OK, have you ever taken a mind-altering drug of any sort — and what happened? Aziz: Yes. I've done mushrooms a few times. What's happened is I had an awesome time. That music festival. Just in time for his new film "30 Minutes or Less," Aziz spoke with Mr. I also had a really tasty donut for breakfast. Things are going my way. Jennifer Garner shares a photo of herself from 20 years ago, looking almost exactly the same.

The back and forth between characters Dez and Arnold is a pure rap nerd moment, the kind of discussions I have with Lucas and Nathan. Coming from nothing, defying the odds, hustling your way to the mountaintop and doing it your way is what we love about Jay Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent and Eminem. Let that sink in.
An Indian-American from the small town of Bennettsville, South Carolina, filled up seats in the same venue that only a very, very select few comedians ever have played. And now his career's come full circle, right back to Kanye West. Aziz said during his Reddit AMA that he never dreamed of being a comedian, that he only dreamed of getting out of Bennettsville. He escaped, just like J. Cole his life took a turn when he left to go to school in New York. It's not every day that we see a minority, especially an Indian-American, accomplish what he has and he's done it all his way.
