Sir or madam the third one is Kumar, he went to White Castle long before he applied to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital

And then left that show to join the Obama administration. Seriously.

I was sure this was a troll when it happened, but no, it was real. Does anyone know if he did a good job?

[–] homes@piefed.world 11 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

As I recall, he was a perfectly competent staff member. I think he worked on the speechwriting team? It was a while ago, now, so I don’t remember most of the details.

Iirc, he only worked in the first Obama administration, and then returned to Hollywood. Apparently, having a perfectly normal job for four years was enough.

[–] cmbabul@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 hours ago

I believe Obama tweeted about it when he left and that he did

Kumail Nanjiani is a comedian and actor. He was in Silicon Valley and more recently he got shredded for Marvel's Eternals. He's pretty funny.

I almost read that name as "Kathy Najimy" (the actress from Sister Act and Hocus Pocus) just now.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 2 points 45 minutes ago (1 children)

Don't forget she's also Peggy from King of the Hill!

And Rat Race, and The Scream Team, a Disney channel original movie where she, Tommy Davidson, and Eric Idle play sassy ghosts who collaborate with living children.

[–] Telodzrum@lemmy.world 20 points 3 hours ago

He was also just on the most recent season of Taskmaster. Pretty funny guy.

[–] Apepollo11@lemmy.world 10 points 2 hours ago

He's also in the Fallout TV series and the Obi Wan Kenobi series

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

He was also in an episode of Community for the final paintball episode.

[–] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 2 points 59 minutes ago

Deputy Custodian Lapari, he's in at least one episode in season 5, Analysis of Cork-Based Networking, the paintball episode is season 6, Modern Espionage.

So sad he got jacked for that movie, but at least he remained jacked.

[–] ltxrtquq@lemmy.ml 15 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

he got shredded for Marvel’s Eternals

Without your comment for context, I thought he was being blamed for how bad/mediocre Eternals was

[–] sem@piefed.blahaj.zone 6 points 3 hours ago

This is also what i thought the comment meant

[–] AWistfulNihilist@lemmy.world 3 points 2 hours ago

That's funny, honestly his section with his manager was the best part of the movie. "He tried to kill me in me sleep!" "I thought he was a vampire!"

[–] reminiscensdeus@eviltoast.org 13 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Silicon Valley & Adventure Time are his best roles imo but he’s pretty prolific

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

“Optimal Tip-to-Tip Efficiency” I do know one of these guys!

[–] Crostro@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

He played, or voiced more accurately, prismo in adventure time. He's also a stand up comedian

[–] AmyAye@nord.pub 3 points 3 hours ago

First guy was the entertaining member of The ~~Immortals~~ ~~Incredibles~~ Eternals. That memorable Marvel bunch.

[–] rImITywR@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

The first guy was a contestant on Taskmaster
