Summary
Kumail Nanjiani is returning to his roots. After reaching heights most actors can only dream of (like being a Marvel superhero!), he’s come back to the world of stand-up, where he made his start. Kumail opens up about his journey through self-acceptance: from being bullied as a kid, to dealing with typecasting, to achieving ground-breaking success and not knowing how to process it. He and Dan also get into masculinity culture, learning to manage their anger, and how therapy helped them understand their anxieties. Watch Kumail’s Golden Globe nominated new standup special, “Night Thoughts”, out December 19th on Hulu. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
