The lovely Nasim Pedrad dropped by Conan last night to presumably promote Mulaney, but of course the most interesting part of the interview was her discussing her time at Saturday Night Live. Around the 1:30 mark above she sets up her heavily championed but never aired Aziz Ansari sketch with, “The producers were always like, ‘Hey, what about this week you play a pretty gal?,’ and I was always like, ‘OR what if I play another small man?'” That line is pretty much her time at SNL in a microcosm.
So we get a quick look at the unaired sketch where Nasim goes full “boner eraser” portraying real life Tom Haverford. It really plays best as an unaired sketch she talks about on Conan in my opinion, especially when it comes complete with the bonus story about the time she met Kim Kardashian. Nasim Pedrad’s Kim Kardashian impersonation is the only good thing to ever come out of Kardashian fame.
