MTViggy: The late-night American comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live wasn’t joking when it signed on an Iran-born female cast member today. The show, which has cultivated such talents as Bill Murray, Mike Meyers, and Tina Fey, has hosted a rotating cast of hundreds. But an Iranian-born woman is a first! Born in Tehran, Nasim Pedrad graduated from UCLA and made her name with a one-woman show, “Me, Myself & Iran” (a riff on the less-than-stellar Me, Myself & Irene), which was featured in an HBO Comedy Festival. Awarded “Best Comedic Performance of the Year” by LA Weekly, she’s also appeared on ER and Gilmore Girls. “Me Myself & Iran” has been taken off the net, but you can still check out her supporting performance at LA’s Groundlings here in “Trash Talk” from the show “El Rancho Advanco” >>>
