Ansari jokes to EW.
You dont even see Dev.
I live near Chinatown and I was like, Look at all these people, Ansari recalls.
or Donald Glover or whoever.
Its always these young kids or comedian characters or whatever.
They never get a whole episode.
The idea was theres this whole side of New York that you never see.
Its never like the guy driving the cab.
So we were like, Lets do an episode where its just their story.
To make it happen, Ansari and Yang did a fair amount of research, Ansari says.
We spent a lot of time interviewing a bunch of people who live in New York.
We interviewed all the doormen.
We interviewed a bunch of cleaning ladies.
I was like, We have to do that.
Thats such a great idea.
We interviewed all these people, and we used that stuff to kind of come up with the story.
After we wrote it we showed it to them, we asked, Does this feel right?
Does it feel like were getting this?
I feel like we pulled it off and Im really happy with how that one turned out.
