Aziz Ansari
I get the connection. I do stand-up
comedy. I'm Indian. I sound like a white guy. This comparison has
been crazy from people suggesting that my comedy is like Aziz's (I
don't see that) to multiple people confusing me for actually being
Aziz. Yes, Aziz Ansari showed up to host the Showcase at the Columbus
Funny Bone. Nevertheless, I'm a fan of Aziz, and while my baldness
kind of trumps us being doppelgangers at all, I still get my fair
share of comparisons to the man that is Tom Haverford.
Kal Penn
I did a show in Coshocton, Ohio where a
woman brought up the Indian guy from House.
I said, “Kal Penn.” She said, “Yes.” Then, it became apparent
she thought I was Kal Penn. First, I had to disappoint her that I was
not Kal Penn. Then, I'm sure I went up on stage and possibly
disappointed her some more. But, this made no sense. Once again, as
is the same issue with Aziz Ansari, I'm bald. Additionally, at the
time, Kal Penn had just left House to
work for the Obama Administration. He decided to take time off from
that to tell jokes at a banquet hall in Coshocton? Oh yeah, he's not
even the headliner?
Romany
Malco
While
at a bar, someone told me that I looked like the guy from Weeds.
I look like Kevin Nealon? After more conversation, I realized she
meant Romany Malco. I guess I can accept that, and now it's nice to
know I can cross over into other races. At least, the woman didn't
say I looked like the guy from The Love Guru.
Thierry
Henry
While
watching the video clip below, my friend told me that I looked like
Henry. She said I looked like I was out there playing soccer. I
actually do kind of look like Henry now that he's added the beard to
his shaved head. So, I'll take that one particularly since Henry is
one of my favorite soccer players. So, yeah, I guess you can go ahead
and call me Thierry if you want, but then again, that really has no
relevance to comedy.
Enjoy
the goal below (and the Russian announcer's HAHAHA), and remember:
I'm Sumukh!
