Maz Jobrani Builds The Bridge...

The shortest distance between two cultures... is a laugh. Originally aired on October 5, 2019, this Classic Episode features internationally acclaimed comedian, actor, bestselling author, and humanitarian Maz Jobrani in one of the most thoughtful conversations ever featured on The Jeremiah Show.  This episode was the first of many appearances by Maz.    Best known for the groundbreaking Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, his hit Netflix special Immigrant, CBS's Superior Donuts, and countless sold-out performances around the world, Maz shares how comedy became his way of building bridges between cultures rather than walls between people. During the interview, Maz reflects on growing up as an Iranian immigrant in America, why laughter can challenge stereotypes, and how finding common ground through humor has shaped both his career and his life.   He also offers a moving tribute to his late sister, award-winning filmmaker Mariam Jobrani, whose documentary Everything Must Change chronicles her courageous battle with breast cancer and reminds us to embrace every moment of life. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and inspiring, this Classic Episode reminds us that some of the most meaningful conversations begin with a laugh. *Jeremiah sincerely apologizes for mispronouncing Maz's name in the first segment!   Maz Jobrani Official Website   Maz Jobrani Twitter   Maz Jobrani Instagram   Superior Donuts on CBS    Immigrant Netflix Special   Everything Must Change Film    CHAPTERS   00:00 Introduction to Maz Jobrani and his background 03:21 Maz's experience at Berkeley commencement 07:55 Discussing 'Superior Donuts' and Netflix special 'Immigrant' 12:04 Maz's thoughts on comedy and stereotypes 16:24 Maz's future projects and aspirations 21:12 Mariam Giobrani's story and 'Everything Must Change' 28:07 Reflections on grief and advocacy 29:00 Humor in the face of tragedy 30:57 Closing remarks and upcoming events   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
