Summary

Comedian Nimesh Patel sits down with Bridget to talk about his new comedy special Thank You China , how he got started in comedy, how TikTok was vital to his career, how everyone's selling out everywhere they go, why a degree in finance did him no good, and his writing gig for Chris Rock at the Oscars. They also cover the grind of feeding the algorithm, learning to step away, why you have to be Zen about social media, why healthcare jokes are so universal and popular, the travesty of the health care system in this country, his many cousins who are doctors, growing up with a big family, surviving cousin roast battles, comedians complaining they can't talk about anything anymore, and how for better or for worse, China knows all about you.
