Aasif Mandvi broke more glass ceilings than you
probably realize.

If you watched 'The Daily Show' during the post-9/11 era, you
likely already know the comedian and actor for his biting
commentary on Islamophobia, George W. Bush, and the 'War on
Terror'.

But did you know he was the political comedy show's first
non-white cast member? Or that he served as the "Senior Middle
East Correspondent" and "Senior Muslim Correspondent" even though
he's not from the Middle East or a practicing Muslim? Now, Aasif
joins Mehdi on the new episode of 'We're Not
Kidding' in front of a live audience at the Sundance Film
Festival for a wide-ranging conversation about being fellow
immigrants, Muslim representation, Gaza, Donald Trump, ICE,
Zohran Mamdani, as well as take some questions from the audience.
