Aziz Ansari in Talks to Host 2010 MTV Movie Awards

Aziz Ansari: Love Him or Leave Him?

March 22, 2010

It's been a great past couple of years for comic Aziz Ansari — he's picking up more and more movie roles, and has managed to be a standout among many other funny people in NBC comedy Parks and Recreation (his Tom Haverford dominated everyone in this poll).

Now comes more good news: Ansari is reportedly in talks to host this year's MTV Movie Awards! I'd say he's a brilliant choice for the irreverent ceremony — Ansari's stand-up is killer, warranting his own comedy tour this Summer.

Still, I get that Aziz is still kind of up-and-coming and not everyone might have warmed to him yet. Where do you stand?

I love him, but I hate when he does things in character as "Randy."

It's always great to see young people of color getting ahead in the entertainment industry! Go Aziz!

i love his stand-up! and he's young enough that when he makes jokes revolving around facebook or twitter, it doesn't feel like a stretch which should be welcome at an MTV event!

I LOVE him. I saw his stand-up in Toronto last year and he was hilarious.
