Zarna Garg On Frustration With INDIANS Born in US | What Do You Bring To The Table Podcast #zarnagarg #comedy #indian --- About Rajiv Satyal: Rajiv Satyal is a renowned comedian and host based in Los Angeles, known for his clean, family-friendly comedy that connects with a wide range of audiences. He began his stand-up journey in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. His entry into comedy was anything but conventional—his first performance took place in a locker room for tennis icon Pete Sampras, then ranked the world’s top player. From that unusual start, Rajiv has gone on to reach impressive milestones, such as performing before a crowd of 17,000 as the opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also created the viral video *I AM INDIAN*, which received over 100 million views, was praised by Bollywood celebrities, and was featured at Modi’s events in Shanghai and Dubai. Notably, Rajiv was the first comedian to perform a full one-hour stand-up show in India. He has opened for Russell Peters more often than any other Indian comedian and has shared the stage with comedy heavyweights like Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—most memorably for Chappelle’s first show after returning from Africa. A personal career highlight for Rajiv was closing a show at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club right after his comedy hero, Jerry Seinfeld. --- About Zarna Garg: Zarna Garg began her comedy career in 2018 with an open mic performance in New York City, soon followed by her first official stand-up show at Carolines on Broadway in February 2019. Her debut romantic comedy screenplay, *Rearranged*, won Best Comedy Screenplay at the 2019 Austin Film Festival and was a semi-finalist for the 2019 Academy Nicholl Fellowships. In 2021, she took first place in Kevin Hart’s Peacock competition *Lyft Comics* and was honored as the Newcomer Winner at the Ladies of Laughter Awards. The following year, she was featured on Apple TV’s *Gutsy*, hosted by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, highlighting her as one of the country’s boldest female comedians. Her journey has been spotlighted on *Tamron Hall*, *Today*, and *This American Life*, where she shared how her daughter Zoya sparked her comedy career. She later returned to *This American Life* for another episode with her husband, Shalabh. In 2023, *Variety* named her among its “10 Comics to Watch.” Her first comedy special, *Zarna Garg: One in a Billion*, debuted on Prime Video on May 16, 2023, and was recorded at New York’s Gramercy Theatre in September 2022. Jason Zinoman of *The New York Times* described her act as full of “quick set-ups, rapid-fire punchlines,” delivered with “the kind of presence that powers network sitcoms.” Her next special, *Practical People Win*, is set to release on Hulu in July 2025. Zarna’s memoir, *This American Woman*, published on April 29, 2025, quickly became a New York Times bestseller and has earned a Goodreads rating of 4.57. She is also the creator and host of *The Zarna Garg Family Podcast*, which is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms. --- 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,
