never seen him this nervous, he picked one audience member to talk to just so he could concentrate, and he still messed up on the word "incredible", still one of my favorite comedians tho
I saw this guy live like years ago! He was just one in a line-up of comedians but he was definitely the funniest. Now I feel honored to have been there.
His timing was much slower on this show then on alot of his other stand up bits you can find online. Although it was still good i think some of his jokes got lost in the new timing, and the fact he couldn't curse. He usually says "the scariest experience of my life, and I'm from fucking Pakistan" which for some reason has a little more kick to it. The first set of jokes is new though and pretty good. Kumail is still just starting his career and I can't wait to see what he does in the future!
I would hate to do comedy on Letterman. The audience is so far away and no one is drunk. His timing and pacing are slower than the average comedian. He has a pretty unique style. Very funny.
his whisper, his exclamations, his dry and sly ways....such funny use of his voice! Excellent. And yes, I still haven't stopped laughing at this, even six days later.
Interesting how differently timed his delivery is here in contrast with at more laid back gigs. Almost as if he was imitating Letterman's rhythm. Anyway, easily one of my favorite comics ever.
This guy is awesome!

@forthewin29 Someone probably told him to go slower. His timing is usually average. Him and TJ Miller make Chicago proud!

I think the best part is that "Born In the USA" lead him on and off the stage. Genius.
