Nasim Pedrad, born on November 18, 1981, in Tehran, Iran, is an American actress and comedian most known for her appearances for five seasons of Saturday Night Live. Ever since 2014, she’s been through a handful of sitcoms including Mulaney, Scream Queens, and People of Earth. If you want a good laugh, I highly recommend watching Nasim.
