Comedian Aziz Ansari joined Rise Up Radio interns Jazz Sterling Brown, Melissa Craig, and Hannah Shreefter yesterday at the WBAI studios.

It was Interviewing 101, and we hope that we won't be appearing in Aziz's comedy routine at the Upright Citizens Brigade any time soon.

Aziz, whose hilarious shorts about shitty mixtapes, Shutterbugs, and M.I.A. are all over the net, is performing tonight at the Seeds for Peace benefit at Gotham Comedy Club at 208 West 23rd Street at 8pm. Check it out!
