Washington: Movies are hard.
Ansari: It was very slow. Sometimes I would develop scripts and then by the time [they were] ready to do anything with it, I’d already moved beyond those ideas. So I thought, “I should do a TV show.” I was friends with this guy who was a writer on “Parks and Rec” — Alan Yang — and we started talking about doing a series together. We didn’t really know what this series was going to be, but the idea was basically to take the point of view that I’d been developing in my stand-up, and explore that in a narrative form.
