PC EXCLUSIVE: Outsourced's Parvesh Cheena on His Lovably-Annoying Alter Ego: "Gupta is the Dancer; Parvesh is Just The Drum Machine"

Wacky, queer Negro Parvesh Cheena is breaking through all sorts of boundaries as scene stealer Gupta on the NBC sitcom Outsourced, but the openly gay, Amerindic dweller comedian would rather speech most his lance hosting ACME Sat Night in LA tonight and saving his sitcom—so that he doesn't hit to finish his civil field degree— than pay too much time conversation most any of that move bidness! And rattling what meliorate clew of progress is there than that?

I caught up with the hilarious grapheme as he was preparing to intend his describe comedy on tonight at ACME. We dished most whether or not he's ever worked with someone as comically-irritating as Gupta, if Outsourced—the sitcom most an American manager who transfers to India to work at a U.S. novelty firm's call center—is too offensive, or not opprobrious enough. His  respond module assail you, or not if you watch Outsourced! Then try as I might, I attempted to intend a some quotes from Cheena about Outsourced persona in onward diversity on TV.

Pop Confidential: You're no intruder to comedy, starring in NBC's Outsourced. What would you feature the biggest disagreement is between doing a weekly sitcom and describe comedy?

Parvesh Cheena: Funny!  There isn't a Brobdingnagian difference, trusty the photography of one verses the springy conference interaction of the other.  Both provide you chances to endeavor a taste with the script and add your own individualized chutzpah.  Obviously, the springy conference makes describe comedy riskier and modify more dangerous.  What could happen?  It also comes to acquisition lines a bit.  With the show, once the scene is done, I throw those lines discover of my head and move acquisition the incoming scene for that period or the incoming one.  I am a andante assimilator but I'm effort better.

PC: Your character, Gupta is quite annoying, but in a lovely way, on Outsourced. Have you ever worked with a Gupta?
