Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! · We admire dimes and Aasif Mandvi gives breakup advice · 21 Mar 2026 podcast

Bye-bye.

And now the game where we ask people who've done a lot to do something else.

We call it Not My Job.

Now, if you're like me, you first became a fan of Asif Manvi during his long run as a correspondent with The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.

But again, if you're like me, you may not have known that he's also a longtime working actor with roles in TV, film, and theater.

Right now, he is starring in a new comedy on Peacock called The Miniature Wife, and he's rehearsing for a revival of Noel Coward's Fallen Angels on Broadway.

Asif Manvi, welcome to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me.

It's great to finally talk to you after watching you for so many years.

Like I said, I always love hearing stories about like actors who were at it for a while and paid their dues.

I heard this remarkable story after starting at a Disney theme park, which I love.

You ended up in New York and you did a whole bunch of jobs.

And I love this, including you worked for a company that put on like murder mystery parties.

Like a singles meet-up.

I just want to pause and say somebody organized a singles meetup for Orthodox Jews and said to themselves, you know what would make this a really great evening?

Yeah, exactly.

If somebody were murdered.

Yeah.

All right, you go in there.

I've had dates like that.
