Welcome to Funny Fridays!

The first comedian to ever be featured in my segment called "Funny Friday" has starred in such films as School for Scoundrels, The Rocker, Funny People, and Observe and Report. He also has a leading role in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. Ladies and gentlemen, Aziz Ansari

Aziz started his comedy career in back in 2004, where he was a regular at the world renowned Upright Citizens Brigade Theater. Aziz's stand-up is absolutely hilarious. When he played a comic in Judd Apatow' Funny People (A character by the name of Raaaaaaaandy) In 2009, Apatow fell in love with Aziz. He then commissioned Aziz to do a series of online shorts to promote the upcoming film as Raaaaaaaandy.
