Summary

Mea Culpa welcomes back Maz Jobrani. The actor and comedian who starred on the Axis of Evil Middle East Comedy Tour, a groundbreaking tour of the US and Middle Eastern countries, where it sold out 27 shows in Dubai, Beirut, Cairo, Kuwait and Amman. The Axis of Evil Comedy Central Special premiered in 2007 as, arguably, the first show on American TV with an all-Middle Eastern/American cast. He is also the author of the best-selling memoir, “I’m Not a Terrorist But I Play One on TV.” In addition, Maz is a frequent host of NPR’s “Wait, Wait Don’t Tell Me.” And a popular TED speaker. His latest comedy special, “The Birds and the Bees” was filmed at Hollywood’s legendary Comedy Store and is available for download on YouTube. Leading up to the election and its aftermath, Jobrani’s Twitter feed delivered much-needed laughs during an especially tense time for me as we awaited this nation’s fate. Now as we find ourselves in the De Ja Vu of yet another Donald Trump indictment, it's time to bring him back and hear his view on what’s in store for all of us.
