It’s Kumail Nanjiani… his first job was fixing laptops for children on Chicago’s South Side!
How did a movies-obsessed kid from Karachi, Pakistan become one of standup’s most respected comedians and an Oscar-nominated screenwriter? Kumail Nanjiani joins Stacey for a wide-ranging chat about the incredible journey that landed him among Hollywood’s most A-list talents. Kumail recalls how early gigs on Saturday Night Live and Portlandia helped shape his comedic tone; what he loved (and what freaked him out) about making HBO’s Silicon Valley; why he chose to address the backlash to his physical transformation for Marvel’s Eternals in his new Hulu standup special Night Thoughts; and the unexpected personal revelations he experienced co-writing the 2017 film The Big Sick alongside his wife Emily V.
