Kumail is such a good comedic actor that it feels like he's part of the cast. Usually other hosts even other comedic actors or comedians look and act like struggling to remember dialogue or hit their marks but Kumail looks like a natural.

As a hotel receptionist, I think it's fair to say that 80% of check-ins go this way. Mostly because the duty manager forces these things down your throat

Yes. I worked at a dingy motel and I didn’t have anything to push but the pool. Which was awful af.

Check-in at Marriot is so accurate. "Check-in starts in 4 hours" lol

[@brassholio]

Happened to me flying from Australia, to LA, to Guatemala, to Costa Rica, got to the hotel that was booked for me (I'm a musician) at 8am. "Check in starts at 2". I slept on a couch. FFS.

[@fletchbg]

It really is tough. I book reservations for Marriott. I get calls all the time requesting early check-in but we can't guarantee that in advance, because if the hotel's sold out the night before, a room has to be cleaned before they can give it to you. I always wince when people tell me they're flying in on a red-eye and I have to tell them the only way to guarantee it is to pay for the night before.

[@acompletedisaster9334]

Hatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehatehate

[@karolinapupi19977]

Well the typing is the logging in to the system. Then you have a list of names that are checking in alphabetically, so you ask to spell the name and just go down the list. Usually you find it before the guest finishes spelling their name out

[@mihirhingorani6067]

Karolina Jarosz he was talking about how Kumails Character asked to spell the name Adams, and it showed up on the a, implying he didn’t know it started with a.

[@giovannylinares2054]

Yup, it really be like that just for the heck of it or to stretch the time, guilty of it lmao

[@tyffaneelavely8087]

Kumail Nanjiani is always so good at these types of roles. He is good at any role, but especially customer service type roles. Super funny. Mikey Day is the best with his reactions to sht happening to or around him. He always sounds like he is truly bothered or distressed lol. Love Mikey.

[@tubetubejohnny]

I was a Marriott employee... This is 100% accurate!

[@kauspet]

Nope it isn’t. Been to 100-odd Marriott properties and no one behaves like this. Client will just speak to the Duty Manager in case the front desk guy is such a jerk.

lol thats bc it is accurate for a marriott check in! I am a GM and they are taught to make sure they mention all amenities!
