Aasif Mandvi - Craziest Memories as a TDS Correspondent & “Evil” | The Daily Show

[@tulippenoire]

Aasif was one of my favorite Correspondant on TDS with Jon Stewart. He always made me laugh out loud.

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

Second best only behind Riggle

[@HuskyOwner-bl1jf]

Stewart's best quality with The Daily Show was that he had a real eye for talent
A lot of his correspondents have gone on to greatness and I'm not just talking about Oliver and Colbert

[@resplendentpeace]

Agree 100%. Every episode with him was guaranteed to be hilarious. When I heard Jon was leaving, I was hoping Aasif would take over. I once heard an interviewer suggest the same thing after Trevor got it, and Aasif said it never came up and was never an option for him, because he wanted to be an actor. But he was my favorite ever.

I love that he has managed to play against type / avoid stereotypes as an actor. He's great.

[@user-ro2iw8rz6t]

For EX-MUSLIMS who escaped death cult of Islam and marxists in Iran and understand the antisemitic movement in France that has just won the election there it is very offensive that morons like Colbert don't realize that "far right" indicates fringe, and 30 percent of population is not far right when we say that majority of Muslims want sharia law in liberal nations, throwing off roofs for LGBTQ, hanging for apostates, stoning and other horrible acts of violence. Come on atheist republic so con artists like Jon Stewart and Colbert do not fool you with their anti-liberal marxist/socialist messages that mathematically makes the world a worst place.

[@whatisdelicious]

WHAAAAT?! What an amazing surprise! Aasif was always my favorite correspondent, I was hoping he was in the running to take over when Jon was stepping down. Went to some of his one-man shows in NYC and chatted with him afterward. Aasif is amazing.

[@NS-cs3wp]

Aasif Mandvi has always been one of my favorites! I love how ironically mean they were to him. "I'd love to say you should come back anytime but I've talked to people around here and that isn't the sentiment." Killer line.

[@OrinSorinson]

He is awesome on EVIL. One of the best shows and one of my favorites. Hope it gets to go on.

[@MarkMark]

The wiping out of the archives is the weirdest thing. We are losing our collective memory as a nation. I don’t like this at all.

[@TheWinerdar]

The "archive" is the paramount website where you used to be able to watch many paramount shows and clips...ad supported of course

[@chineserockethands4578]

It’s probably just that it cost more to store the archives than they made in revenue from people watching them.

[@AllenKnutson]

@@chineserockethands4578 From what I've read it's not about the technical aspects but about shifting legal ones, as various music changes hands, etc.

The licensing is crazy! On networks, shows typically can't even share content! ​@@AllenKnutson

[@lazyperfectionist1]

_"Sir,_ you are not a _fish!"_
🤦‍♂😄I remember that segment. I don't think I've ever seen anything dumber. I was half expecting Aasif to sarcastically reply with something like, "Really?" and then look at his other head and say, "So I didn't really have any business _naming_ this guy, then?"

[@melissaroszkowski8911]

I completely forgot he was on TDS. He's killing it on Evil!

[@theeditorrestrial]

Yeah he is

[@Whimsicalbrainpan]

Such a great show.

[@johnfreund4456]

While I loved the job Jon and Trevor did hosting every night, I have to say that the interplay dynamics with co-hosting has taken this show where it needed to go. It’s feels like a band, and having Aasif on really shows that.

[@lovesmusic0845]

I love Evil. It’s so creative and funny at times. I wish it could go on for a couple more years.

[@vdjKryptosRock]

Whoa, where’s he been? It’s been ages! I think he was in a couple movies. 10/10

[@karenhenderson3868]

He's in a tv series called Evil. Its so fabulous!!

[@ALT-vz3jn]

You definitely need to watch Evil, he’s amazing on the show.

[@fett713akamandodragon5]

Ben the Magnificent!! Love this guy, Evil is a great show, and he's always been awesome.

[@DSAK55]

My favorite Aasif Mandvi moment was when he's in front of a green screen pretending to be in Iraq at the start of the War

[@boboconnor5861]

Aasif can tell the most horrible jokes, really tasteless, and make sense, and expose hypocrisy. He's hilarious.

"Where's a show where you actually go and get to interact with demons?"
"You've never been to a maga event."
Also, I love his character on Evil. He adds such a genuine, serious, vibe to what couldve been a ridiculous show. He is very much a part of what makes that show great.
Wish there was going to be a season 5.

[@stefanhoimes]

Klepper sadly just raised his danger level with those violent cult members. We're in a sad place when comedians need security in public :(

[@PEACE-ws6xj]

Love Evil great story and plot!

[@SWolfmoon]

Why aren't they telling people that it was picked up by Netflix?? Evil is ending on Paramount+ but will be continuing on Netflix. And too right, because it's a frakking amazing show.

[@lisarodriguez6966]

Netflix only has 2 seasons. At least right now, anyway.

[@Tomarrak]

I hope Desi is okay. That look she gave the camera after mentioning HR is really concerning.

[@AG-ld6rv]

Did you notice that throughout the interview she kept pushing her jaw forward? Not really sure what that usually means, but it's kinda like bruxism. Feels kind of like irritation or competition or something. Or could be stimulant stereotypy. Those aren't uncommon in show hosts.
