Aziz Ansari Debuts Killer Bobby Jindal Impression on Tonight Show

Aziz Ansari, on the show to promote his new Netflix series Master of None, appeared “via satellite” as Jindal, amazed that he was really on national TV with “the famous Jimmy Fallon.”

“You ever taste 1 percent milk? It’s barely milk! It’s like drinking white water!” he continued, before presenting his new campaign slogan. “But, man, when you start dumping that 2 percent over your Apple Jacks, it’s like pow! You can taste the fat.”
