Maz gave a great interview, loved it! Ya know what else I love: how Stephen hosts his interviews. He's super witty and smart and always saves the day with awkward guests, but he's got no problem pulling all the way back to let someone else have the spotlight when they're on a roll... like no interrupting a good thing, like soooo many other tv hosts with too big an ego to let someone else talk for a bit. One of the best interviewers on the screen today!
What?? I find him reallllly annoying and I am only here because someone told me to watch this video. The problem his how he is not funny at all. His jokes seem to be directed to five year olds.
+Faiz Asfar - Yes, only a 5 year old seeks to learn about ancient civilization and learn greetings in Farsi. A five year old joke would be to say that your last name looks like assfart!
I used to date a Persian woman and loved learning about her culture, language, etc. her family was the nicest group of people ever as well as her friends. 🇮🇷 no-rooz mobarak!
I am not originally from Iran, but my parents were working in Tehran when I was born. I have zero connection with the country, but my parents learnt the language and taught me about it's culture, poetry, food. IRAN & PERSIA as a whole has one of the most sophisticated cultures in our present day world. It is one often of the most beautiful languages ( subjective, I know ). It is so beautiful that it express Philosophy, Science & the Arts in the most fluid & precise manner. Its food... even its peasant cuisine is most regal. AND, let's not get started on Persian ancient history. Much much respect. Khoda-hafez.
As a tajik from Russia i was surprised seeing Stephen talking my language Glad to see that there are iranians in the US representing our common culture Dorod bo hama mardome forsizabone donya
This is the first time seeing a Zoroastrian Iranian on TV. It feels amazing seeing people of my culture on the screen for the first time. What an inspiration! Keep doing the amazing work Maz and Stephen!
Marmary Sweetie would you please stop??!! XDDD I am an Iranian and I'm telling you... all of them are correct! You're nitpicking! And if you wanna go that far, then *I* should correct *YOU* because the correct word has been "Parsi" LOOOONG before it was "Persian"!!
Frost8488 yes but _sweetie_ the correct way to say it in *English* is PERSIAN and not the arabized incorrect native -farsi- nor the correct native _parsi_ either. it's not engilisi or deutsch, it's English and German. same goes with Persian. that's *basic linguistics* and I need to correct *YOU*
The most natural interview I've seen in my entire life. Compared to all the fake shit you see on Jimmy Fallon, Maz Jobrani did it like nobody's in the room. Brilliant.
What a gift to America that this man, Maz Jobrani, came here as an immigrant and went on to become an American citizen. WE NEED MORE SUCH IMMIGRATION! To myself as a second generation American born citizen, the grandson of four immigrants (two Irish and two Italian, ALL of whom were repeatedly denigrated as not only un-American, but as living threats to the American Way of Life) this hilariously quick witted AMERICAN CITIZEN WHO WAS AN IRANIAN IMMIGRANT brings a breeze of resuscitating fresh air to my suffocating yet still alive pride in America and what it has always been intended to be at its best, but which has been so very beleaguered by widespread utter ignorance of late about the actual nation building history of American Immigrants.
@@frankholloway7777 I had heard about those unproven and unfounded "accusations." But just how many CIA and Mossad operatives do you "guess" (or maybe you have "irrefutable proof" about them, too?) are all throughout Iran? Or any other nation in the Middle East, Asia, Europe, etc., and oh yeah, also here in the totally blameless USA amongst our citizenry?
Farsi! The beautiful language of my ancestors! I wish we could have kept it alive amongst ourselves here. I'm an Indian Muslim of Persian-Afghan descent.
I'd last seen him a looooong time ago when Comedy Central was mostly comedian stand up shows. Super happy he's finally made the list of good comedians who have gotten their own damn shows.
I remember in college reading about "Papa Nowruz" something from Ancient Persian culture that could be credited for giving us Santa Claus. A fictional character that brings gifts to kids for the new year and wears green and a pointed hat.
Hadn't seen Mr.Jobrani before now, he's very funny and bright. Thanks Stephen, always a great show. For once I learned a lot in the very polite and intelligent comments, thanks all!

And can I just say that Stephen trying to speak Iranian is one of the cutest things ever!!! It's really funny when you know the language that the person is trying to speak in :)))
I don't watch TV, so my only knowing of Moz is through NPR and "Wait, Wait...Don't Tell Me"...I love that guy, so happy to see him on Stephen Colbert's show...this was great
ha.. I have been wondering what is the ethnicity of my pharmacist and his wife.....they are very kind, soft spoken people , I like them alot. I think from Maz Jobrani's explanation they must be Iranian Americans. His example sounds just like how they talk.
Never seen Maz before, but what a funny, personable guy. What a treat to see him and Steven having a great time. Some funny guys come out of Iran, notably Omid Djalili. Both guys seem to have a similar sense of humour and delivery. Must check some of Maz's work. Great job, guys.
I'm rather sure this will be lost in the comment thread, but I have to say it: Dear Stephen... you are a fantastic example of an intelligent, empathic, and very well read human being. Yes, you have a writing staff that helps on your show, but you are the embodiment of what many, many people are thinking across the world. Your charisma crosses boundaries that politicians can only fantasize about. Please keep doing what you are doing. The world needs you :)
Norooz gift is usually $20.00 and it is from EVERY adult, friends & family (aunts and uncles). By the end of the Norooz you can buy all the toys and video games on your own choosing. Cuts all the return after x-mas and the ugly sweaters you might get : )
Iranians are Aryans. Literally what the word Aryan means. And I consider Ancient Aryan Iranian culture in the Zoroastrian era as one of the most utterly glorious, noble and superior cultures ever. Shame modern Iran does not embrace it.
Iranians are Aryan but whites aren't. Europeans wrongly appropriated that name when they share nothing with Iran. Iranian culture, unlike Western, is old and pretty continuous. Iranians do embrace it and don't have this complex you're trying to push onto them. Further the most glorious days of Iranians were during the time of Mavlavi (known as Rumi), Hafez, Khayyam, etc... They didn't live during the Ancient days but in the 8th to 14th century, during Islamic time and wrote some of the best literature in history, especially in Iranian history. It's not that Iranians don't embrace the ancient world. It's that there is so much to choose from (unlike Western culture which started with the Franks, not the Greek or Romans and was only 1000 years old) and the biggest cultural/intellectual heights for Iranians are not in ancient times.
Actually modern Iran majorly embraces it. get your facts straight. Even Ayatollah Khomeini and the council that elected him boast about their Iranian identity and their several-century-long history of Iran, which means they DO respect pre-Islamic Iran because great ideas, still used to date, are implemented. Don't make up false truths.
Thanks for having me, Stephen! Much love all.
You gave a stellar interview! Very funny!
Maz Jobrani Funny as always. :) And nice jacket.
Good to see you on the show and glad you posted here so i can subscribe to your channel...love your humor.

He's actually Muslim. Nowruz is a cultural festival of iranians.
