Aasif Mandvi Talks with Jason Jones (The Detour) for the Talkhouse Podcast

The two Daily Show alums sit down for a chat at the Sonos store in NYC, and the conversation quickly gets real. And really funny.

Over the course of a hilarious and wide-ranging chat, the two talk about their worst fashion choices, their respective exercise regimes, their ambivalent feelings about social media, the new documentary The Problem with Apu (which Aasif appears in), Aasif’s desire to be (or to spawn) Hollywood’s first Indian-American action star, during all of which Jason Jones Solves Everything. (Including how to repeatedly plug the new season of his show, The Detour.) For more filmmakers talking film and TV, visit Talkhouse Film at talkhouse.com/film.
