Kumail Nanjiani Initially Turned Down Chippendale Role

James sits with guests Zoe Saldaña and Kumail Nanjiani after watching a clip from Kumail’s new miniseries, “Welcome to Chippendales.” Kumail admits he was approached about the role 5 years ago, and turned it down to focus on comedy, a decision he’s now reversed.

Then, Reggie has a question for both of our guests about motion capture acting and horny hippopotamus violence.
