KUMAIL AND EMILY STAY IN

Actor, comedian, producer and screenwriter Kumail Nanjiani and producer/screenwriter Emily V. Gordon have announced a new limited podcast series, “Staying In with Emily and Kumail.” Pulling from the couple’s experience in dealing with chronic illness, depicted in the 2017 comedy The Big Sick, they’ll be sharing recommendations on entertainment, making the best of life in quarantine, as well as offering an empathetic and light hearted perspective during these difficult times.

Gordon and Nanjiani share, “We won't have news about the pandemic, but what we can offer is experience in self-quarantining, experience in working from home, and experience consuming media.”

Produced in partnership with Hyperobject Industries and Three Uncanny Four Productions, all proceeds from the weekly podcast will be donated to charities including the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, Feeding America and the Restaurant Workers Community Foundation.

The show is executive produced by Gordon, Nanjiani, Three Uncanny Four Productions’s Adam Davidson and Laura Mayer, and Hyperobject Industries’ Adam McKay, Todd Schulman and Harry Nelson.
