Nanjiani on Letterman
Kumail Nanjiani unfurled his eyebrows for comedy on Letterman Friday night. It’s interesting how every standup comic who’s not black or white starts with a joke about his ethnicity. Nanjiani didn’t riff off it too much, slowed down his set and kept it clean for primetime.
Letterman’s intro was a touch awkward. He seems like he’s walking on eggshells with desi guests, afraid of being insensitive.

was that “born in the USA” being cued at his exit?
…umm why? He clearly said he was born in pakistan.
The band also played “Born in the USA” during his entrance.
I didn’t get it either.
Kumail is huge into Springsteen, and tells me he requested the song.
Thanks for the info, fbeuks!
