[@Maggielicious21]

Can Kumail go to The Graham Norton Show? He would totally kill it there!

[@calnommer]

@IBrainedMyDamage no he didn't

[@MohsinAbbaas]

Oh Allah YES PLEASE!!!!!!

[@Fumble469]

@IBrainedMyDamage thats Corden

[@defencebangladesh4068]

Yes please

[@narayaniranawat9415]

I wish

[@sandeepaddala7492]

I thought Hugh Grant was gonna walk in and surprise kumail when I read the title......then I realized it's not the Ellen show

[@Us_Paws]

sandeep addala Ha! Good one! 😂

[@muhammadbaqir3081]

Whats the point, he already has met him. If anything it would make it awkward for Kumail. People don't like meeting their mentors on television, it can be difficult to contain the emotions

[@tomtiller2130]

That is funny ! And so is he .lol.

[@rumblefish9]

Hugh Grant can't stand Ellen. He told her to her face. He was on to something even before people knew about how badly she treated the people that worked for her.

[@mypal1990]

One nerd to rule them all. And his name is kumail nanjiani

[@cluckendip]

[@umerdar9371]

Haha

[@joshuaschaller4400]

Kumail is so sneaky funny.

[@ValerieVfc]

Jimmy REALLY likes the movie. The next time he compliments something I'll know if it's Big Sick good, or just good good.

[@rumbajuice]

Val C. He's always exaggerating, but this time, yeah, he likes it.

[@momochanjones7302]

There’s something so wholesome about him being inspired by Hugh Grant

[@djordan22]

The randomness of Hugh Grant's wedding monologue being his inspiration for standup is just perfect.

[@anujbeatles]

To be fair, who hasn't had an obsession about Hugh Grant at some point in their lives..

[@munirrahman]

^ I concur, mate. ^_^ :D

[@sukiperera2080]

obsession started with Notting Hill

Such a good interview ! Rare now a days between fabricated stories and laughs

[@simonisaksson1624]

go on the graham norton show for some quality

[@adireloaded]

Simon Isaksson aahh yess .. Graham's interviews are always full of life .. if the couch combo has good chemistry, it results in a great interview everytime :)

Not gonna lie, Hugh Grant is amazing. I'm currently very deeply obsessed with him. TBH, what sane human isn't obsessed with Hugh Grant!?

[@nehirakinn]

OMG! Steven Spielberg is my favorite director and i love Hugh Grant soo much especially in Notting Hill 💖💖

[@viralityfactor987]

Indians be like "This Pakistani is kinda cool though"😂

[@TheRandomBiscuit]

@Mr Alpha so they're all the same except for the huge difference you literally just pointed in the same sentence.

Ok.....indians are not HINDUS You can say that Pakistanis are muslims Indians are mixed!!! There are many many many muslims and christians including me in india Also many other religions like budhists etc

Jesus, can Fallon let a name go by without interrupting his guest to say how incredible/amazing/awesome they are.

[@showtimelakers1795]

Pakistani Gem!

[@shahzebkhan1117]

Big Sick is really a nice movie..

[@FelipeUebio]

Idk why but I feel like he could be a great Pakistan Elvis Presley.

[@kellyalves756]

Felipe Uebio I was just thinking that photo of his looked like he was trying out for Punjabi West Side Story.

[@saararichard8001]

He may just be the greatest storyteller of all time.

[@Moncalawowproduction]

I want Kumail to have his own talk show. 🙏

[@prairieN]

He and Emily have a podcast. Does that count?

[@PjPerez]

Jimmy. Let your guests tell their stories. They don't need a hype man. Especially not when they're Kumail Nanjiani!

[@gvasquez1035]

Jimmy called Hugh Grant's hair "floppy" which is what Grant's character in Notting Hill was nicknamed "because of his hair" 😭😂

[@pralina8051]

“I got to take that line out.” That was absurdly profound :’)

[@Ultra-Collector]

Kumail you’re my hero! Much love and respect!

I like his face. Hugs and kisses.

[@phaedrabacker2004]

Sarah K that's not all you spit out

[@jshariff786]

I'm willing to give Sarah K the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she meant his face in the third "Spielberg reaction" photo was so hilarious, that she spit out her drink...

[@sarahk1927]

jshariff786 just read all these... Of course that's why... His face! It's hilarious! We all have had those 'ahhhh' moments... Shame on you that thought differently. Now I understand the 'Internet Troll' term...Haha!.. And, this movie is also hilarious... I may have spit my drink out again! HA HA ☺️

[@noelphilip3]

Sarah K so sorry for earlier. Thought you were a racist making a hateful comment

[@Aqsaa286]

He’s such a funny guy

[@NewMessage]

I just watched him on Harmon Quest last night.

[@maijahaavisto5311]

I loved The Big Sick, but to me Kumail will always be the guy who plays D&D on Harmontown (and is absolutely hilarious on it).

[@Vedrajrm]

"You're kidding" Yah

Dreams do come true.

Lots of love from India ❤❤❤

[@kellyalves756]

Obsessed with Hugh Grant? Gee, Kumail, you and my mom have something in common.😁

[@rumblefish9]

Watch the movie Maurice and you'll also be obsessed with Hugh Grant. He's so breathtakingly gorgeous and really good in that movie. Its a serious role and Grant was brilliant.

[@Full2Noob-baazi]

He could easily be the angry bird with brows
