In 2007, he created and starred in the MTV sketch comedy show Human Giant, which ran for two seasons.

He completed his third major tour, Buried Alive, in the summer of 2013. His fourth comedy special, Live at Madison Square Garden, was released on Netflix in 2015.

In addition to TV, film and stand-up work, Ansari carved out some time to write a best-selling book about relationships called “Modern Romance (2015), which he co-authored with sociologist Eric Klinenberg.
