Michael Schur: Why I'd work with Aziz Ansari again

The Daily Beast

"The answer is yes, I would," The Good Place creator, who worked with Ansari on Parks and Recreation, says when The Daily Beast asked if he'd work with the comedian again following his #MeToo scandal. "And the tricky thing about all of this stuff is this kind of national reckoning that the entertainment industry has finally had with itself—or at least has begun to have, I would say—we’re far from actually having the complete, sort of thought process and emotional processing that is required," adds Schur. "There was a lot of dust and a lot of that dust has now settled a little bit, and now it’s time for everybody to really think hard and reflect and change and grow and do all of that stuff that is required to heal. And I’m not talking about any one person or group of people. The initial revelation of how prevalent all of these things are is over. And now it’s phase two. Phase two is going to be equally tough and hard and it’s going to require a lot of emotional turmoil and thought processes and investigations and all that stuff. And I am happy that it’s happening. I’m excited for it to happen."
