Judd Apatow will produce Kumail Nanjiani's Big Sick-- a film he co-wrote with his wife Emily V. Gordon based on real life events. Nanjiani will also star in the film, and Michael Showalter will direct.
The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail opens its second season on Comedy Central this week, as it continues its fifth year as the preeminent independent comedy show in Los Angeles. We talked with producer Emily Gordon and co-host Jonah Ray about the live show’s accidental magic and the intentional decisions on how to capture that magic for TV.
