So, the The Office spinoff is shaping up to be less a spinoff and more a brand new show, without any characters from the original American version transitioning. Bummer. But! Like The Office, said new show will star an East Indian actor who doesn't speak with an accent, and that is to be commended.
Details are finally starting to emerge on NBC's highly anticipated "The Office" spinoff — including the show's first cast hire, Aziz Ansari of MTV's sketch comedy "Human Giant."
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.

Ooh, Sinjay the racist fruit stand owner from "Flight of the Conchords:" "Too bad New Zealanders are a bunch of cocky a-holes descended from criminals and retarded monkeys."
I guess you guys don't get Canadian shows, huh?
ahahaha I love him on Flight of the Choncords!
his standup is awesome, and he's the sexiest thing about human giant. can't wait for this.
Chris Sims of the-isb.com has described him as a "fucking badass". That's enough of a recommendation for me.
Oh, OK. I thought this was the guy from Dateline's To Catch a Predator that had the cat and cool whip. Whew!….. well, I have got to start watching more TV.
