Kumail and Conan have a really good chemistry and clearly have a lot of respect and admiration for each other, this was one of my favorite episodes of the podcast.
Nothing made me want to watch this show more than Kumail’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel where he said, “some wild things happened” and one person in the crowd yelled, “Woo!” and he turned and said, “The thing was murder, so - you just cheered a murder”.
I paused the video because I, a non-American, now realized that they were not talking about Chip n Dale the cartoons with chipmunks (which I saw on TV when I was a kid). That's why they were rather serious in the earlier clips lol
This is an incredible true story with big writing talent behind it; I'm thrilled they decided to cast you. They clearly saw that you would be spectacular in that part.
I was really impressed with Kumail’s performance in welcome to chippendales. Steve Banerjee is a really fascinating individual, and Kumail did a great job of balancing this guy who really is a lot like Walter White. He’s kind of a square and he doesn’t really know what he’s doing initially with the business, but he’s also really smart and extremely volatile, and when he explodes, no one’s ready for it
Ive never laughed so hard. Kumail seamlessly unstertood how to embrace and play with Team Coco. He literally just wrote Homer forgets to breathe nonchalant. Brilliant
Wow.... I know ZERO of these shows and movies they're talking about. Oh, well. Happy for Kumail. He's a cool guy. EDIT: Oh, they mentioned Breaking Bad. I watched that one. 👍
For a moment I thought he was talking about Homer and Flanders at the Cider factory(?) where his brain floats away, but I did find a clip to remind me about his brain leaving in the Big Brother episode where it told him "don't say revenge". Both funny, but I love Homer just collapsing when his brain leaves at the Apple Cider place.
I would like to draw attention to a famous British TV comedy sitcom Fawlty Towers (acted in/written by John Cleese and his than wife Connie Booth) that also had a finite 2 seasons (6 episodes each) run, no flogging of dead horse there, just simple comedic brilliance. If you haven't seen it, do yourself a favour and check it out, for despite being made in 70's, remains a brilliant funny exceptionally well written entertainment.
Yeah, British shows in general tend to have short season (series in their terms) runs and a often a small number of seasons. I agree with Conan. I think American television is better following that trend. Less chance for the show to beat the dead horse.
Fawlty Towers season 1 is available on youtube! I watched it and laughed my head off, but now so many classic American comedies just feel like stolen FT ideas!
Umm... the exits need to be more clearly marked with maybe temporary signage. !But But But! that is no fault of Choctaw Nation (to the best of my understanding) what without a doubt has been my favorite casino resort experience! Now don't get me wrong Vegas, NV (and I shall return) ... For example, I think your state exit signage is handled much better!!!
Welcome to Chippendales is awesome...kumail, murray, and annaleigh are amazing!!! When i saw murray in white lotus after Chippendales, it took me forever to recognize him
Is the moment Conan’s talking about the one where Homer’s at the Bigger Brothers agency and his brain goes “Don’t say revenge. Don’t say revenge.” But he says it and it leaves xD
It is the best era of television it's just not on television anymore it's on streaming sites because television networks are still scared to air these shows that end up sweeping all of the award ceremonies every year now
It kinda validates his point, don't you think? The time Conan was writing for the Simpsons was probably the golden age of that show and probably TV. Now, they're just milking it.
Unfortunately, that's probably not going to happen. If the show was primarily produced for Hulu, they own the rights and are unlikely to sell or loan them out. Shows like these are meant to attract viewers to the different streaming services and give them a leg up over the competition. I'd consider doing a trial month or paying for a month to just eatch the show but, in the past, I've been unable to sign up to Hulu at all. Apparently, because of a wider spread error on their side. Which is a bummer, because stuff like this makes people resort to priracy.

Mordor version of Clueless Gamer and Kumail cancelling on Conan comes to mind.
I remember the homer brain walking out on him episode. It was the big brother agency episode.
Murderville and the original British Murder in Successville are both good.
Kumail only needed to say, "...with Patton....", and everyone completely understood where he was coming from.
AHHHHH😁
Kumail wants to take his shirt off lol
All those steroids and he can't even show off. 😂😂😂😂
I thought Dev Patel was supposed to star in this? It was originally supposed to be a movie.
Dev Patel would have been too skinny for the role. Although, with makeup and all that Hollywood stuff, they could have transformed him.
Kumail's epidode of Murderville still makes me giggle when I remember it ☺️ The locker room scene lives in my head rent free!!
and his signature walk and sound!!

Coincidentally, the Conan and Kumail episodes of Murderville are the funniest episodes I rewatched often...
Kumail's Murderville episode was probably the funniest one. I watched that episode so many times and I crack up so hard.
In Eternals all I thought of as he used his rather lame powers is that he was thinking “pew, pew pew pew” 😂

I thought he was in chip and dale
Murderville was super funny

Maybe watch more TV and movies
7:19 props to sona for getting the number of seasons right
She probably watched them all at work.
The tommy tune outtake with Conan and Will Arnett was hilarious on that detective show
I wonder when his next episode of the "X-Files Files" will be out?
I think about that homer's brain joke constantly.
Kind of like "The Detectorists" 🤣💕👍
8 hour journey where everyone is satisfied? Sounds like my sex life.

Kumail's was the funniest episode of Murderville. Conan, yours was pretty funny too.
:)
His jaw in the thumbnail tho
It's still odd to see him sitting there all jacked lol

Great to know that an Indian immigrant actually started the male stripping Chippendales craze in America!
He looks more like a Bollywood actor when he became jacked up. (I know he's Pakistani)
I wonder what research Kumail did to learn more about Somen "Steve" Banerjee - I don't know if there's a lot of material out there about him.
My only familiarity with Chippendales is the classic Chris Farley/Patrick Swayze snl sketch
Is the moment Conan’s talking about the one where Homer’s at the Bigger Brothers agency and his brain goes “Don’t say revenge. Don’t say revenge.” But he says it and it leaves xD
"There's nothing greater than having no responsibility." aaaaaamen
It's a really good show, very accurate so far. He's a really great actor!
I would pay a lot of money for a rewatch Podcast where Conan discusses old Simpsons episodes. PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN @TeamCoco
Really good show by the way
Hiohio ipsinio
very good
and in everyone’s story you end up alone
Why don't I remember them talking about Breaking Bad and Homer's brain leaving? Was that part in the actual podcast but I missed it?

Likes this new era of television? Says the man who started in "The Simpsons", the proverbial dead horse that refuses to die.
he did other things since then

Nevermind.
Looks interesting. I hope it goes on Netflix or Amazon soon. We don't have Hulu unfortunately

Damn, I need to get on steroids. If he can doit, I can!
