--Deborah Bass. He takes a hot topic that has been a part of his recent stand-up—navigating this minefield called dating—and brings it to a whole new level. Aziz lets you know the struggle is real, and we’re all going through it, so be nice. Would I have read Modern Love by insert name of expert here? No way. If I am going to take a long hard look at this subject, I want Ansari along for the ride.
