Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts

ITV America, Winter Coat Films, TheYearOfElan Productions

- Comedy & Variety

After nearly a decade away, Kumail Nanjiani returns to Chicago, where he got his start in standup, in a new special that tackles anxiety, the perils of buying drugs pre-legalization, and most importantly, cat medication. Kumail Nanjiani: Night Thoughts delves into what it means when your life changes so dramatically that the questions you deeply, profoundly need to answer are shunted out of the daylight and into the pitch-black witching hour when you should just be wondering if that work email you sent made any sense.
