Not Just Another Brown Guy

Who doesn't love Daily Show "correspondent" Aasif Mandvi? You can just see the humor in his eyes, hear it in his voice, and part of what makes him so appealing is that he's as ready to make fun of himself as he is to joke about anything else. He's just written a book, cleverly titled No Land's Man ~ clever, because Mandvi was born in India, moved with his family to England when he was little, and then, when he was 16, moved with them to Florida. It's an autobiography of sorts. ("Of sorts," because it starts with a disclaimer: "Some of the names, identifying characteristics, and circumstances have been changed ... sometimes for the better, but that's just my opinion.") As Mandvi himself warned Daily Show host Jon Stewart back in 2013, "Wake up and smell the curry, Jon. Indians are taking over America" (story, links to audio version, book excerpt): http://www.npr.org/2014/11/03/361026157/aasif-mandvi-on-life-as-a-no-lands-man-and-impressing-jon-stewart
