Ansari directed and co-wrote with Lena Waithe all five episodes of what is being called Master of None Presents: Moments in Love, revolving around Waithe's Denise. “On paper, everything sounds like a terrible idea,” Ansari says in a Netflix featurette. “Oh, I’m not going to be in the show anymore! We’re going to hold on them doing laundry for three minutes! It was a little bit scary because it’s not what we had done before.. But the first time we read it where it wasn’t just me reading with Lena but another woman reading with her, it was just like, ‘Woah, this is going to work. This is going to be cool.'”
