Aziz Ansari’s second Netflix stand-up special starts streaming Tuesday, and here is a snippet of the Master of None creator-star’s performance. Taped at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, Aziz Ansari Right Now features material from the two-time Emmy winner’s Road to Nowhere Tour, which played 75 cities in 13 countries.
The above clip from the special directed by Oscar winner Spike Jonze shows Ansari having a little fun at the audience’s expense. At one point he asks a white woman down front why she only gave Crazy Rich Asian an 85 rating when the Rotten Tomatoes score was 97%. When the woman clams up, he says: “I’m just messing with you right now. It doesn’t matter what you think about the movie, it’s just fun to make white people feel bad.”
