Aziz in new comedy book

The Daily O’Collegian:
The latest release from Vintage Books, “You’re a Horrible Person, But I Like You” brings together some of the funniest comedians in show business and asks them some of life’s deepest questions.

Just about everybody who has made you laugh on TV or in a movie since 2004 contributes to this book. Judd Apatow, Aziz Ansari, Rainn Wilson, Jim Gaffigan, Ed Helms, and Michael Cera, among others, each contribute a chapter of advice while veteran comedian David Cross provides the introduction.

All of the hardest questions in life are addressed in the pages of the book. For instance, Aziz Ansari explains that Gavin from Cleveland’s dizzy feeling isn’t love, but is in fact the result of bad macaroni, a fact that Ansari knows from experience.

The paperback was released on April 6.

Whether he’s hanging with idol Kanye West or bloodying up Ted Leo as “Clell Tickle: Indie Marketing Guru,” Ansari stays connected to the music world while taking us all on the highway to the comedy zone. And watch out, entertainment journos; Ansari recently started writing articles for the likes of Interview. Besides, who else can lay claim to literally being the A to Z of comedy?

Congrats, Aziz!
