Ansari plays ‘Tom Haverford,’ the sarcastic and occasionally sleazy government employee who is trying to weasel his way to the top of the local Parks and Recreation department in Pawnee, Indiana. Ansari will soon release his much anticipated special and album for Comedy Central titled, “Intimate Moments for a Sensual Evening.” This will air on Comedy Central on January 17thwith a DVD/CD to be released on January 19th. Ansari can also be seen in a handful of feature films. This summer he appeared in Judd Apatow’s comedy Funny People opposite Adam Sandler, Seth Rogen, and Jonah Hill. In the film, Ansari plays a vulgar, sex-obsessed stand-up comedian named ‘Raaaaaaaandy.’ The popularity of the character led Judd Apatow to commission a series of mockumentaries based on ‘Raaaaaaaandy’ which have been released on FunnyOrDie.com. Ansari also recently wrapped production on another Judd Apatow film Get Him to the Greek, which he will appear in alongside Russell Brand, Jonah Hill and Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, as a co-worker of Hill’s. Ansari also has had roles in the hit comedies I Love You, Man with Paul Rudd and Jason Segel, and opposite Seth Rogen and Anna Faris in Observe and Report. Ansari first came to audiences attention on MTV’s hit sketch comedy series, “Human Giant.” The series is based around short films starring Ansari, along with Rob Huebel and Paul Scheer. Many of their sketches have become internet sensations and have popularized the trio with young people all across the US. Last year, Ansari also had a very memorable guest starring role on HBO’s “Flight of the Conchords,” in which he portrayed a racist fruit vendor. He also was seen in a multi-episode arc on “Scrubs” earlier this year. Ansari recently completed his “Glow in the Dark” Comedy Standup Tour, which concluded in early 2009 with the recording of his album. Ansari began performing standup in 2001 while attending NYU. In 2005, Rolling Stone named him their choice for “Hot Standup” on their annual “Hot List,” and he was also awarded the Jury Award for Best Standup at the US Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen in 2006.
