From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is The Business.

After years of finding success in comedy, Kumail Nanjani realized that finding joy in his work is the most important thing.

Every season of Silicon Valley in the beginning, I would get really, really nervous.

And I was like, I am getting a tremendous amount of satisfaction from my job, but I don't know

if I'm deriving enjoyment from my job. And so I decided at some point that I really have to

enjoy my work. In part two of our interview with Nanjani, he talks about how he went from a kid

just hoping that no one would notice him to doing stand-up in Chicago,

getting nominated for an Oscar with his wife, Emily Gordon, for The Big Sick, and now starring

in the Dark Hulu series, Welcome to Chippendales. But first we banter. Stick around. It's the

business from KCRW. I am joined by my colleague in banter, Matt Bellany. Hello, Matt.

Hi there. So, the past week sees the exit of Mark Burnett from the now Amazon-owned MGM.

Mark Burnett is, of course, the storied reality producer. He still has credits going forward on

Survivor, The Voice and Shark Tank,

the shows that just keep going and going and that are not that new. When MGM bought his company

several years ago, you know, the hope clearly was that he would continue to generate hits like that.

He didn't the entire time that he was at MGM. He was an agent of chaos. He dipped in and out of all sorts of areas,

yelled at people, you know, sort of messed around and moved on and drove out, you know, the top

film executive, the top television executive who had brought them their prestige hits,

The Handmaid's Tale and Fargo. So he stirred up a lot of trouble. Amazon had no use for him, but,

you know, whatever he did at MGM, they managed to sell that company for $8.5 billion, a number that

really raised eyebrows in Hollywood, and that closed in February. And now Amazon is moving in and taking full control

and figuring out who runs what. Yeah, and that was the number that matter. That's all that
