This is just cool.
I know I’m having a real comedy-heavy day today here at Gynomite, but bear with me. This is a super cool little piece of art that’s part of a series that is on the Apiary every Friday. I never really got any of them before, but this one…
… is a reference to Kumail’s Cyclone bit (which he’ll be performing on Letterman this Friday!). How cool is that? Go here to see more of Billy Scafuri and Tim Bierbaum’s work.
So effing proud
My talented and awesome and kinda badass husband Kumail is on the cover of the Arts section of the Times this Sunday. The article is up online already, so click here if you want to read it.
Photo taken behind our apt by the awesome Damon Winter. That skull is not a prop. It's always there.
This may get weird.
Thursday night (that’s tonight for those playing at home) from 8pm to 9pm EST, Kumail and I are going to be the esteemed guests on the David Angelo Radio Show, which you can listen to yourself by clicking here!
I have no idea how this will go down. Hopefully hilariously. You can call in live if you want by calling 251-300-JOKE
I like to plug people who are already celebrities.
I usually don’t talk about stuff like this, but I’m too excited not to do it today….I got to hang out with Kumail on set last night!!!!
Kumail is writing for and acting in a Comedy Central show coming out this summer called Michael and Michael Have Issues, which is Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black’s new project. The show is a sketch show but also has the behind-the-scenes of the sketch show, kinda like 30 Rock, but you also see the sketches. Last night they were shooting some scenes of the Michaels performing at a college, so they brought in an audience and did a bunch of fun undermining each other on camera.
I got to hang out with the writers, producers, and the Michaels, and everyone was amazingly talented and fun and hard-working. The scenes were hilarious, and the Michaels are both very funny and charming separately and a hoot when they play off of each other. I can’t believe I just used the word hoot.
Wednesday, July 15th at 10:30PM on Comedy Central! Watch it!

So proud. I love this man. Kumail on Kimmel last night.
(on a side note, Brooke Shields walked by me in the green room, and I literally swooned)
My mom sent this to me, and it’s funny. That’s all.
this guy's shoes are glued to the floor.
I’m going to be West Coasting it for the next couple of days, cheering on the love of my life as he does standup on Jimmy Kimmel Live this Thursday. Be back soon, and hopefully you’ll get a full Gynomite dispatch from LA. I don’t usually gush about celebrities I meet, but if I cross paths with Brooke Shields, lookout world . Either way, it’ll be time to celebrate our birthdays when we return, so let’s do it up Saturday night!
Michael and Michael Have….a Website!
So as some of you know, Kumail has recently started writing for Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black’s new Comedy Central show, Michael and Michael Have Issues.
He's the DJ, I'm the rapper.
I would be stoked about this even if Kumail wasn’t writing for them. The Michaels have a blog for their new show that just started yesterday and it’s hysterical. Go to it for the funny, stay for the pictures of Showalter’s cats.
Shameless plugging!!
I just wanted to show you two articles that the love of my life/Bageldaddy is featured in this week:
First, Gelf Magazine, who calls him “The Pakistani Prince of Comedy“, and then New York Magazine, who picked him and nine other comics to perform in front of each other and then discuss it. Plus, they produced this cool shot of him.
As Gelf says, “It’s Kumail’s world, we just LOL in it.”
