Aziz Ansari is sorta like the 'Conan O'Brien of alt'... His stock was 'hot', but now he is sorta just on cruise control and every1 tells him how much they <3 him on social media. I have never watched Parks and Recreation but I am sure it is funny enough to lose to cop-thrillers and sci-fi shows on a weekly basis. Aziz Ansari has been seen at many VIP alt events, such as SXSW, Coachelly, and LCD Soundsystem's final show.

Anyways, some magazine called "Paper Mag" put Aziz Ansari on the cover of their blog magazine. I don't know if they sell copies or anything. If I were Aziz Ansari, I probably would have worked hard to become the #1 comedian in the world, then waited for a symbolic 'I've Made It' Rolling Stone cover, representing his comedy brand 'crossing over' in2 the Mainstream.

Here is a paragraph about 'how cool' he is:

In real life, though, you get the sense that Ansari's attempting to be -- and succeeding at being -- actually cool. A joke-friendship with rapper West, once fodder for his stand-up, appears to have evolved into an actual friendship -- though when asked to talk about it he declines to comment. He pals around town with James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem and TV on the Radio's Dave Sitek. Last year, he interviewed Animal Collective for The Fader. In addition to Band of Outsiders, he's a fan of other hipster-approved fashion lines like Patrik Ervell and Thom Browne. Ansari is also a serious foodie; Momofuku's David Chang is one of his good friends, and he can't get over how amazing ABC Kitchen was, where he ate the night before our interview. "Vegetables that are really fresh like that are so good. Like, if you eat a really good tomato, it's really good." He frequently uses Twitter to outsource restaurant recs, and to extol the joys of eating delicious food -- fish tacos and burritos in particular. In other words, his life sort of resembles the New York magazine Approval Matrix.

R u jealous of his life?
Does he seem like one of the most relevant ppl ever?
Has he 'made it' or can he still get 'more fans'?
Do u wish u got to bronoodle with tons of relevant alternative celebrities?
Will he 'make it' as a comedian, or will he eventually just end up being the 3rd lead on a moderately successful sitcom?
Can he write 'the next Seinfeld'?
