Word of Mouth
azizgqparty.jpgWatch out Clarins heiresses...  comedian Aziz Ansari may very well be giving them a run for their money as the new fun face of New York Fashion Week. We spotted the funny-man last night schmoozing and being photographed with Kanye West and Kid Cudi at the GQ shindig before he made his way downtown to the Wooly for the waris <3's you launch. PAPERMAG chit-chatted with Aziz at the GQ party.

So what brings you here tonight?
I heard there were hors d'oeuvres at these parties and I haven't eaten so I'm very hungry. I'm just trying to stand where the catering comes out and grab pigs in a blanket, things of that nature.  

How are you faring so far?
So far I've eaten like six pigs in a blanket, twenty five mozzarella sticks and thirty five tiny pieces of sushi, so I feel like I've come up on top.  

Checking out any shows this week?
Yeah, I'm going to the Gap Kids show on Thursday. I'm sitting front row for that. And yeah, that's all I've got planned so far. Gap Kids fits me really well.  

Have you ever pulled any pranks on the set of Parks and Recreation?
No, not really. Wait, I just thought of a prank I did to her. So, Amy has a car that she drives to work. And I hired someone from Craigslist to just steal it.  

Uh, really?
No.

What other TV shows are you obsessed with?
Friday Night Lights. It just ended. I haven't finished watching the finale and it's ending and I'm so sad.

Yeah. I had a great arc that I wanted to pitch them. Don't have an opportunity to do so.

What's up next for you?
Parks and Rec is on now. I did this movie called Thirty Minutes or Less that will be out in August. And I'm touring doing stand up and I'll probably record a special soon.
