00:00I want to talk to you about Master of None
00:01because I loved the first season.
00:04I just... Thank you.
00:04...every episode was its own thing, and I loved it so much.
00:08And then you actually moved to Italy, or you lived in Italy?
00:12Yeah, after the first season...
00:16If you didn't see the first season, I'm about to ruin the end,
00:19so close your ears for five seconds.
00:21But my character decides to move to Italy, so...
00:24How close is the character to you?
00:26I mean, it's pretty close.
00:28After the season finished, I decided I would move to Italy
00:31for research for the role, you know?
00:35And my character learns how to make pasta,
00:37so I actually lived in Italy in this small town called Modena,
00:40and I, you know, learned how to make pasta.
00:43I worked in these pasta shops and stuff.
00:44All the places you see in the series, I actually worked there.
00:47You just learned how to make pasta?
00:49That's fantastic.
00:50Yeah, you know, Leonardo DiCaprio,
00:52he sleeps inside a bear carcass.
00:53I go and learn to make pasta.
00:54We're both...
00:55Same deal. Same deal.
00:57Same exact thing.
00:59Same exact thing.
01:00Yeah.
01:01But do they recognize you there?
01:03Do they know you're famous?
01:04No one knew who I was, which was really cool.
01:07Like, no one knew who I was.
01:08They just thought I was this random dude from New York
01:11who really wanted to learn how to make pasta.
01:14And then one day, one of the ladies...
01:16And these people are, you know, they're real Italian people.
01:19None of them spoke English.
01:20I had to learn Italian and stuff.
01:22And then one day, one of them came up to me,
01:23and they're like, why do you have 4 million Instagram followers?
01:28And I was like, I don't know.
01:31That's so good.
01:32How's your dad doing and your mom?
01:36They're good.
01:37They're back in the show.
01:39Because your dad, last time, your dad was really kind of...
01:41They're both getting famous.
01:43And he was really into it.
01:44Yes, my dad is very into it.
01:46My mom is not.
01:48My mom doesn't really like acting.
01:51You know, they actually, this is what was crazy, okay?
01:54A few months ago, I got an e-mail from one of my manager people,
02:00and they were like, okay, you know,
02:03they're making this Ocean's Eleven movie
02:04with all-female cats with, like, Rihanna and Sandra Bullock
02:07and Mindy Kaling and all these people.
02:09They're like, would your mom ever be interested in playing?
02:13Yeah, not you, Aziz.
02:16You're like your mom's agent now.
02:18Get out of here.
02:18Yeah, yeah, yeah. Make this deal for us.
02:20What about your mom?
02:21Would she be interested in playing Mindy's character's mom?
02:26In one of the biggest movies.
02:28So my mom's being typecast as Indian people's mom.
02:30No, that's not true. That's not true.
02:33That's not the point.
02:36Oh, she's gonna be an Indian mom!
02:40But what did she say? Did she say yes?
02:42Well, I sent it to her, and my gut was that
02:45she would not want to do it,
02:46because she doesn't even want to do my show.
02:48Before we started the second season, she's like,
02:51say that the mom character's on vacation.
02:54And I was like, we can't say she's on vacation the whole season.
02:57She's like, well, say she's on vacation,
02:59and then maybe she has to go to a wedding.
03:01It's like, you're really good at coming up with excuses, but no.
03:05But so I sent her this, and I was like, you know,
03:07you should think about this.
03:08This is a very big deal.
03:09It's a huge movie.
03:10You know, all these big stars are in it.
03:12It could be something interesting.
03:14And she, in the nicest way, just said, like,
03:16tell them I'm so honored that they would even consider me,
03:19but I must politely decline.
03:21And I was like, you are the nicest person ever.
03:24How did you give birth to a garbage person like me?
03:26That's not true.
03:28And then that was it, right?
03:30Yeah.
03:31And then two days later, I get a call from my dad.
03:33He's like, one, is there a dad character?
03:36Two, why have they not considered me yet?
03:42Why has no one called me to play Mindy's dad in the film?
03:46I love that guy so much, man.
03:48He's great, man.
03:49We'll tell him I said hi.
03:49He really is the guy in the show.
03:51Yeah, he is.
03:52He really is him.
03:53So this season, you're in Italy,
03:54and you're there with your best friend,
03:56who's played by Eric Wareheim.
03:58Yes.
03:58And, well, I don't want to send any spoilers or anything like that.
04:02I just want to show maybe a clip, or do you want to set this up?
04:05We'll talk about it.
04:06This is a clip when Eric's character Arnold comes to visit me in Italy,
04:10and we're kind of driving around in Italy.
04:12All right, here's a clip from Master of None.
04:14Take a look at this.
04:16I don't know, Cap.
04:17It looks pretty tight.
04:18I think it'll be fine.
04:19Let's just pull the mirrors in.
04:20Okay.
04:22Let's go.
04:28Just take it slow.
04:30Looking good.
04:31Slow, slow.
04:32You're good on this side.
04:34It's really tight over here, man.
04:37You got a little space here.
04:38Just go to the right a little bit.
04:40Easy, easy.
04:41We got room over there?
04:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:43Wait, wait, wait, wait.
04:44Ooh-yah!
04:47Keep going.
04:48I can't. We're stuck.
04:50What?
04:51You said we're good on that side.
04:52But then I said, wait, wait, wait.
04:59Master of None is on Netflix.
05:01This Friday is when...
05:03But here's what I love about this.
05:04That really happened to you?
05:07Yeah, so when I was living in Italy...
05:09Wait till you see this.
05:11People are always like,
05:11Well, what stuff's real, man?
05:13How much is it like your real life?
05:14Well, this is exactly like my real life.
05:17Because Eric came to visit me
05:18while I was living there in Italy.
05:21And we were like, Okay, let's, you know,
05:24go just spend time together,
05:26and hopefully there will be some things that happen
05:27that maybe inspire us.
05:29And within a week when he got there,
05:31we were driving around in this area in Sicily
05:32in these tiny roads.
05:34And just like what happens in the show,
05:36we see this little tiny alley, and we're like,
05:38I don't know if we can make it.
05:39And then this truck just barrels through.
05:41And we're like, Oh, well, the truck made it.
05:43We'll be fine.
05:44And then we go in, and we get stuck.
05:46And I brought a picture of the real incident that happened.
05:49This is a real one.
05:51I can't believe this.
05:51Oh, you got it here. I thought it was gonna be...
05:53Get ready.
05:56That really happened.
06:02What did you do? How did you get up?
06:04You just don't...
06:05You know what's crazy?
06:06Do you know who was behind us?
06:08No.
06:08Lupita and Rihanna.
06:09That is not true. That is not true.
06:12Aziz Ansari, everybody.
