Aziz Ansari at Union Hall (01/27/08)

It looks like we might be seeing a little less of Aziz Ansari on the New York standup comedy circuit as he recently became the first official “hire” on the new spinoff series of NBC’s The Office.

Producers are mum on Ansari’s role, but he’ll be part of a larger ensemble that executive producers Greg Daniels and Michael Schur are putting together. [Variety.com]
