Yeah, being a dad's cool, I'm like...
Our baby's seven months.
She's about to turn eight months, actually.
Yeah, she's super cute right now.
Yeah. She's really, really cute.
I'm not... I'm doing this with you guys, so, I'm not even with my family.
Look at this. This is true sacrifice.
No, she's really adorable.
Maybe I'm... I'm, like... I'm biased.
But I know... but I know she's Indian.
Like, she stares all the time.
And I'm, like, "Stop," but she's, like...
What?
Oh, you guys are, like... And this, I love this one.
It says, "If you were..." and it has one of those little carrot-arrows,
"to get stuck on an island, who would you rather get stuck with:
Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump?"
-Gurmeet? -Gurneet.
Gurneet.
That's a really hard...
Those are three really awful...
Have you thought of this?
OK. Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, Donald Trump.
I would say Lindsey Graham because he's a Southern belle.
I don't know, he just... Who would you be stuck out of them?
You would kill yourself?
OK.
Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough, fair enough.
OK. "Hasan, what is most..."
You... OK, it says, "What is most embarrassing thing
your parents have done to you in public?"
But the first was, "What is cutest..." And you crossed out "cutest."
My dad roasted me at my wedding. That was pretty savage.
Yeah, it was a straight up Comedy Central Roast.
It was, like... Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
But everyone thought it was hilarious.
Everyone's like, "Your dad crushed." And I was like...
Why is he doing this to me?
He was talking about, like, which schools I got into.
I should've gone to law school.
It actually had like a...
He did his own iteration of
He, like, brought it home at the end.
And he was like, "You should believe in your kids."
But, like, you know how, like, anytime, like, if a joke offends you,
it's the first part of the joke that offends you.
You never hear the back part of the whole thing.
You're just like, "I fucking hate this."
But it was actually very beautiful. Now, in hindsight I'm like,
"It was very nice."
"What kept you going during the comedy grind
before Pizza Hut and
I love that Alexander was like,
"You really made it after that Pizza Hut commercial."
That was, like, really, like, a high point for you.
Where's Alexander?
I love that you thought I, like, was on, after the Pizza Hut commercial.
You were like, "Is that the Pizza Hut Pizza Sliders guy?
I just need some inspiration from that dude.
You get Pizza Hut Pizza Sliders, nine in box for just ten bucks.
How do I get on that level?"
I don't know, man, I just really, I really love comedy
and I was pretty cool with keeping my cost of living low.
Like, I was about that air mattress life.
So, like, a Pizza Hut commercial was like everything.
I really... I really made it at that point.
Well, I was able to pay rent for a year.
This is a joint question.
This is from... Magna and Denizan?
All right, this is from you guys.
I think this could be one of the best questions.
"Where's the outfit that Tan picked?"
All right.
All right. OK.
All right, to be fair,
I'm saving that outfit for later in the season.
But everyone's been, like, busting me.
They're like, "Why aren't you wearing Tan's outfit?!"
And I'm just like, "Give me a sec."
Also, when we tested it on the screen...
It's like a... it's like a brown sweater.
And, so, when we were screen-testing it, it looked like I was MC Hammer.
Like, I was in a bomber jacket, no shirt underneath.
And I was just walking around and...
Yeah, some people were like, "Are you wearing a nude suit?"
And I'm like, "All right."
But I did wear it on
They're like, "He's wearing the sweater that Tan picked out."
I love Tan, by the way. He's like my spirit animal. Yeah.
Yeah, he's the best.
He's like...
He didn't even... Like, I didn't even have to prompt him.
Like, he was just like, "Hey, so lovely to see you."
And then he queer-eyed me out of nowhere. I did not see it coming.
I thought I had all the jokes ready, and then he just, like, boom.
He's like, "Why do you read internet comments?"
I'm like, "What?"
He really got me.
All right, Viti Patel.
"You said that it's taken you two years to conceive and create
but was there ever a moment or a political event
that made you feel as if
Issues that everyone was skimming...
or needed to be addressed."
Oh, wow, this is, like... This is actually a very serious question.
Damn, Viti.
You know, we have to do a comedy show after this?
All right, so, the
So, I remember, I was at
And the 2016 election happened, and we had to cover the conventions, right.
So, we had to... The RNC was in Cleveland,
and the DNC was in Philadelphia.
And I remember the RNC was terrifying. It was at Quicken Loans Arena.
It was like being in a haunted house but all the lights were on.
Like, it was 17,000 people, just like, "Lock her up!"
It was the craziest thing I've ever seen.
It was... It was like racist Comic-Con. It was nuts.
And then the following week, we went to Philadelphia,
and that was the Democratic National Convention.
And I remember... Do you guys remember this?
When Hillary Clinton came out, she had the white Puff Daddy suit?
Remember? And everyone's like, "She's gonna break the glass ceiling."
Everyone was like, "Yes, do it."
Bill Clinton opened for her, remember?
So, Bill Clinton opens for her, everybody comes...
This is the last day of the conventions, everybody comes down,
and it's a big thing.
I remember, like, all
It was the thing to see. We thought she was going to win, right.
So, Clinton goes up there, and he's doing his, like...
He's doing his go-to things, right, where he's just like,
"I remember meeting Hillary at Yale,
and just not being aware of all the "Me Too" shit. And...
He was like, "I used to hang outside of dorms.
That's normal, right?"
Just unaware, but he's like, "But I'm charming."
And...
He's doing this thing, right, and then he goes to his go-to moves, right.
A lot of politicians do this, where he's just, like,
"Hey, I'm going to talk to all the different minority voters.
This is the one time of year I talk to them."
He... Right? He's just like, "African-American people, you matter."
And everyone, they're like, "Yeah, we do."
And he's our choice, right?
And then he's like, "Mexicans, los..."
You know what I mean?
He's like, "I'm good, right?"
And everyone's like, "All right, yeah, sure."
And then I remember he's like, "Muslims, yeah, you guys are here.
Muslim-Americans, hey, stay here.
Stay here. Help us find the terrorists. Help us win.
And everyone around me, like, at all the...
They started full-on applause break.
They were, "Yeah!"
"I'm With Her" shirts.
"Yes! Help us win!"
And I remember standing there and being, like,
"Bill, I hate to tell you this, I don't know any terrorists."
I'm not Terrorist the Bounty Hunter.
Like, I'm not just like, "Bill Clinton,"
and, like, I come out, like Blade. You know what I mean?
"I'm here to catch Al-Qaeda," you know...
He... he thought our only value was to help find terrorists, right.
And, so, it was one of those things where I thought about it for a long time,
and I was like, "Oh, I could write an angry internet post about this."
Or, you know, and I learned this from my dad,
I'm more in... you know, in the business of playing offense.
And I was like, "Look, I'm not going to get my humanity
from Bill fucking Clinton."
He's... he's just not going to get it. I'm an alien as far as...
He doesn't get...
He will never understand where I'm coming from, my POV,
the things my community have had to go through.
We have to claim that shit on our terms.
So, I just started working on the show,
And I was just like, "I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna show my perspective of what it's like to be an American."
And... that was my move. And here we are.
