Just over a year after the Babe article that hobbled his career and left many asking if #MeToo had gone too far, Aziz Ansari has returned.

Evidently, some forgiveness has arrived with the clouding of memory. Ansari finally addressed head on the sexual harassment allegations against him. In a stand-up on Monday, he said he felt “terrible” about what happened. “But you know, after a year, how I feel about it is, I hope it was a step forward. It made me think about a lot, and I hope I’ve become a better person.”
