This year’s Welcome Week performer will be Aziz Ansari, according to a tweet by the Main Campus Program Board.

MCPB has been providing hints as to who the performer would be since 1 p.m. on Aug. 10.

According to the organization’s Twitter account, such clues include that the performer is from Columbia, S.C., he or she is “friends with Kanye West,” “it has been a while since this performer has been in a serious relationship,” “the performer’s favorite place to eat is the Shake Shack” and their favorite show is Breaking Bad”.

The final clue was announced today at 1 p.m. stating that he or she “has an alter ego named Randy.”

Ansari appeared on “Late Show with David Letterman” in 2009 and discussed a night out with West that formed a relationship. The comedian has also starred as a character named Randy in a “Funny People,” the 2009 Judd Apatow comedy. He has since referred to the character in stand-up specials.

Ansari was also quoted as saying he missed “eating burgers from Shake Shack” after moving from New York to Los Angeles, Calif., in 2009 in an article by New York Magazine.

Ansari’s IMBD profile also confirms he was born in Columbia, S.C..

The comedian is not scheduled to perform in Philadelphia or the East Coast in late August.

Temple students’ responses on Twitter to the hints were mixed – some excited that Temple may not feature yet another rapper, others remarked they were “disappointed.”

Last year’s performer was popular rapper Wiz Khalifa.

Ansari will perform on Aug. 24 at the Liacouras Center. The show will start at 9 p.m. and doors will open at 7:30 p.m., according to the MCPB’s Twitter account.

Tickets will be available at the Liacouras Center box office 5 p.m. Aug. 24. One general admission ticket per student is available.
