00:00 Nassim Pedrad just opened up to What's Trending about season 2 of Roku's Chad and disappearing
00:06 into her character.
00:07 Actress, comedian, and SNL alum Nassim Pedrad is the star and creator of TV show Chad, which
00:14 follows a young Persian boy in high school trying to fit in and reconcile with his cultural
00:18 identity.
00:19 "You're scared of jumping over fire.
00:21 You're scared of the boys in your class.
00:23 You're scared of an old woman with a watermelon."
00:26 "Honey, you can't just show up every five years and rip me to shreds.
00:30 What are you doing?
00:33 Oh my god!"
00:34 Pedrad plays Chad herself and undergoes a complete transformation to create the lovable
00:39 character.
00:40 "Yeah, it was weirdly, obviously I wasn't a 14 year old boy, but I was definitely an
00:44 awkward 14 year old who was desperate to fit in.
00:47 And that inspired a lot of the storylines.
00:52 And when it came time to figuring out how I could pull off playing a teenager as a grown
00:57 woman, I felt like with the help of hair and makeup, I could really disappear into looking
01:01 like a little boy."
01:03 To keep up with Chad and all the trouble he gets into, you can now watch Chad season 2
01:08 on the Roku channel.
