So all the comedians, obviously David Letterman, legend.
But what's great is for my dad...
immigrated to the United States in 1982, organic chemist for 35 years for the state of California.
So he kind of treated the backstage the same way he would treat like Costco on a weekend.
are those are those khakis so he's like is that david letterman and so all the comedians me melanie or biglia we're treating him like he's yeah he's on the mount rushmore of comedy my dad's like he's interviewed a lot of people so my dad goes up to him and he's like hey who's the who's who's the favorite president you've ever interviewed he's like did you interview richard nixon
Yeah.
So Najmi got right to it.
And I really thought where my dad, you know, obviously where he placed the joke, where he placed the bit, I thought it was quite brilliant to just get right to it.
Because you've gotten this of like, who have you met before?
But my dad was like, Richard Nixon.
What's his deal?
So what did Dave say?
And Dave was like, you know, nobody's really asked me about Nixon.
And so they're just...
having this long conversation about Nixon and Watergate.
And it was really awesome.
And then all these comedians that I really admire were like, who's that?
Yeah, who's this Indian man talking to this old dude who looks like Abraham Lincoln?
I was like, well, that's Najib Minhaj talking to David Letterman.
He does think he's a comedian.
