Over the weekend, John Mulaney and Nasim Pedrad closed out the New York Television Festival by sitting down with Grantland’s Andy Greenwald for a Q&A and screening of their new FOX sitcom, Mulaney. The sitcom had the weekend off — pre-empted Sunday night for Game 5 of the 2014 World …
We all had the opportunity the past few years to see how well Nasim Pedrad could impersonate and mock Kim Kardashian on Saturday Night Live, but if you blinked, then you may have missed your chance to see Pedrad’s impersonation of comedian Aziz Ansari. Never fear. When Pedrad showed up …
