PlayComedian Aziz Ansari first started doing stand-up comedy as an undergraduate marketing major at NYU. Eight years later, he's playing opposite comedy queen Amy Poehler as the lovable office tool on NBC's workplace comedy Parks and Recreation.
Ansari has acted in MTV's sketch series Human Giant, and he played the part of a xenophobic fruit vendor in HBO's Flight of the Conchords.
His first comedy DVD — Aziz Ansari: Intimate Moments For A Sensual Evening — is out now through Comedy Central. He joins Terry Gross for a conversation about his career, his DVD and what exactly the made-up word "tatties" might mean. Copyright 2010 National Public Radio. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/.
