Comics on Comics: Aziz Ansari on Kumail Nanjiani

“Kumail Nanjiani — he’s really funny. I’ve seen him a few times in New York, and I heard he moved to L.A. [recently]. I see him around every now and then — I think he’s hilarious. I think he does really well-written, clever material. The things he talks about are unique, kind of more personal stuff, which is what I enjoy seeing; where it’s more specific and unique to that particular person. His stuff is not too predictable. What I’ve seen of his stuff I’ve really enjoyed and thought he did a really good job.”
