In his new special, Aziz Ansari adopted an earnest tone to reflect on his year

Photo: Netflix Netflix released Aziz Ansari’s new Spike Jonze–directed stand-up special Right Now today, and the comedian wastes no time in addressing the sexual-misconduct allegations he faced in early 2018. After opening the hour with a joke about getting mistaken for Hasan Minhaj, the comedian adopts a more earnest tone to reflect on his year:
You know, I haven’t said much about that whole thing, but I’ve talked about it on this tour, ‘cause you’re here and it means a lot to me. And I’m sure that some of you are curious how I feel about that whole situation. And, uh, it’s a tricky thing for me to answer, ‘cause I’ve felt so many things in the last year, so. There’s times I’ve felt scared. There’s times I’ve felt humiliated. There’s times I’ve felt embarrassed. And ultimately, I just felt terrible that this person felt this way.
The monologue is largely unchanged from the one he delivered during his pop-up show in New York this winter, where it came at the end of his set. Ansari does save part of his reflection for the end here, too. Returning to the quiet, whispered tone he used at the beginning, he takes a moment to thank the Brooklyn audience for coming out to see him perform.
But now, when I see you guys here, it hits me in a different way. I think about what it means that all you guys, you drove down here, you waited in line, and you did all of this stuff just to hear me talk into a microphone for like an hour or so. And it means the world to me, ‘cause I saw the world where I don’t ever get to do this again, and it almost felt like I’d died. In a way, I did. That old Aziz who said, “Oh, treat yo’ self,” whatever, he’s dead.
The special ends with Ansari guiding the audience for a brief moment of silence. “This is our moment right now. So you know what? Why don’t we all just take it in for just a second?” he says. “And on that, I will say good night, and thank you very, very much.”
