Kumail Nanjiani

I went back again out of necessity because the strikes were happening and I was about to go shoot this movie.

Suddenly the strikes happened.

I couldn't do anything.

And I was very frustrated creatively.

And I was like, I have to go to stand up.

Otherwise, I'm not going to survive however many months this is going to be.

Yeah, Silicon Valley, I would say, because...

I was doing a show with people who I looked up to, people I was friends with, but also like Mike Judge.

I mean, Beavis and Butthead was one of my favorite things.

Yeah, so I'm working with people.

I'm like, I know this is the big boy pool.

I know this is like Adult Swim.

This is the real deal.

Working with like legit people, it's not time to, the time to like practice and train is done.

This is payoff.

And I don't feel like I belong.

I don't feel like I deserve to be here with these people.

They're so talented and funny.

When I say that to them, I was like, you know how they're like, what are you talking about?

Like nobody else saw that.
