Indian-Polish-Am actor Danny Pudi went on Jimmy Kimmel’s show last Thursday night. The Chicagoan talked about Polish moustaches, Polish dance, how his parents met in an English class, and how he had to play three Sanjays in ‘07. His new, generically-named show Community:

Check out a clip from the pilot with John Oliver.
Update: SM informs us that Pudi is also known as the butt dialer. Don’t ask.
