Zarna Garg On Divide Within The Indian Immigrant Community | What Do You Bring To The Table #zarnagarg #comedy #indian --- About Rajiv Satyal: Rajiv Satyal is a well-known comedian and host based in Los Angeles, recognized for his clean, family-oriented comedy that resonates with diverse audiences. He launched his stand-up career in Cincinnati, Ohio, his hometown. His path into comedy was far from typical—his debut performance occurred in a locker room for tennis legend Pete Sampras, who was the world’s top-ranked player at the time. Since that unconventional start, Rajiv has achieved several significant milestones, including performing in front of 17,000 people as the opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also produced the viral video *I AM INDIAN*, which garnered more than 100 million views, drew attention from Bollywood stars, and was showcased at Modi’s events in Shanghai and Dubai. Notably, Rajiv was the first comedian to deliver a full one-hour stand-up show in India. He has opened for Russell Peters more than any other Indian comedian and has performed alongside prominent names such as Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—famously opening for Chappelle’s first performance after returning from Africa. One of his career highlights includes closing a show at Gotham Comedy Club in New York right after his comedy idol, Jerry Seinfeld. --- About Zarna Garg: Zarna Garg entered the comedy scene in 2018 with her first open mic in New York City, followed by her official stand-up debut in February 2019 at Carolines on Broadway. Her first romantic comedy script, *Rearranged*, won Best Comedy Screenplay at the 2019 Austin Film Festival and was a semi-finalist for the Academy Nicholl Fellowships that same year. In 2021, she emerged as the winner of Kevin Hart’s Peacock competition *Lyft Comics* and also received the Newcomer Winner award from Ladies of Laughter. The following year, she was featured in Apple TV’s *Gutsy*, hosted by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, as one of America’s boldest female comedians. Garg has appeared on shows like *Tamron Hall*, *Today*, and *This American Life*, where she shared how her daughter Zoya inspired her to take up comedy. She later returned to *This American Life* with her husband, Shalabh. In 2023, *Variety* recognized her as one of its “10 Comics to Watch.” Her first stand-up special, *Zarna Garg: One in a Billion*, debuted on Prime Video on May 16, 2023, and was filmed at New York’s Gramercy Theatre in September 2022. Jason Zinoman of The New York Times praised her for her “quick set-ups, rapid-fire punchlines,” and described her as having “the kind of presence that powers network sitcoms.” Her next special, *Practical People Win*, is slated for release on Hulu in July 2025. Garg’s memoir, *This American Woman*, released on April 29, 2025, became a New York Times bestseller and holds a 4.57 rating on Goodreads. She also hosts and produces *The Zarna Garg Family Podcast*, available across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more. --- Connect with Rajiv Satyal: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/funnyindian/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/RajivSatyal Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funnyindian/?hl=en X / Twitter - https://x.com/funnyindian Website - https://rajivsatyal.com/ Book Rajiv Satyal for Your Next Event - rajiv@funnyindian.com Video Editor - Satwinder Singh Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg, Zarna Garg Interview, Zarna Garg Podcast, Rajiv Satyal Comedy, Rajiv Satyal Comedian, Comedian Zarna Garg, Rajiv Satyal Indian American, Indian American Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg Video, Rajiv Satyal Standup, Rajiv Satyal Standup Comedy, Zarna Garg Standup Video, Rajiv Satyal Comedy, Zarna Garg Comedy Video, Comedy Video Zarna Garg, Zarna Garg on India, Zarna Garg Indian Gods, Rajiv Satyal India Comedy, Zarna Garg Comedy Video, Standup Comedy Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg Standup,
