You're listening to Comedy Central. Coming to you from New York City, the only city in America. It's the Daily Show. Tonight, hearing about January 6th, one cord to charge them all, and Amman Valani. This is the Daily Show with Trevor Noah. Thank you so much for tuning in. Thank you for coming out in Cresson. Thank you for being here in Crosso. This is amazing. Wow.

This is fun. Take a seat. Let's do this, people. We've got a really, really interesting show for you tonight. The January 6th hearings areembering the PGA, and Europe is telling Apple that they're no longer in charge. Plus, Iman Villani, aka Miss Marvel herself, is gonna be joining us on the show.

So, let's do these people. Let's come straight into today's headlines. All right, let's kick things off with January 6th. It's why your uncle is calling you from a prison phone. January 6th wasn't just a way for Q& on members to get their steps in. It was the culmination of a high-level plot to overturn the election results. And now, after a year of gathering evidence and speaking to over 1,000 witnesses, the January 6 committee in Congress is ready to spill the tea tea the tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea tea to tea to tea to to tea to to to to to to to to the to the to to to the to to the to to to to to the the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their to their their to their their their to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to over 1,000 witnesses, the January 6th committee in Congress is ready to spill the tea on what actually went down.

Prime time hearings. The January 6th committee said to take their case to the American public. How they plan to argue that Donald Trump and his supporters planned the insurrection in an effort to overturn the presidential election. The committee and its members really want these hearings to be blockbuster, Watergate-style hearings and they are meticulously crafted. They're trying to make sure that this does not look like other congressional hearings. Maryland rep Jamie Raskin has said that he expects that the hearings will blow the roof

off of the house. Yeah, that's right. The January 6th hearings are starting tomorrow, and every broadcast network, every cable news network is gonna be covering this. Obviously except Fox. Yeah, they're gonna be spending all night talking about the real culprit. Why is nobody talking about how Congress has too many doors?

If there was only one door in and out, this never would have happened. The crowd would have peacefully dispersed after hanging Mike Pence, huh? You know who's gonna be town about the coverage of this? Donald Trump. Yeah, because think about, on the one hand, he doesn't want anyone to know what he did on January 6th. But on the other hand, you know he would love his hearings to get the highest ratings of all time.

You know it. He's going to be out there like, don't watch the hearings, folks. The fake news is saying, I overthrew the government, which I didn't do. But it was the biggest overthrow of all time. But I didn't do it. I didn't do it at all. Watch the hearings, you'll see, you'll see. So the Democrats are hoping that these hearings are going to finish Trump off the same way that Watergate finished off Nixon.

But the difference is those Watergate hearings happened back in the 1970s. That was a different time. They only had, what, three channels back then? Yeah, Americans' only choice for entertainment in 1973 was either watching the watergate hearings or chain smoking in between heart attacks. That's all they could do. And I'll tell you this now. If the Democrats want everyone to watch, if they want Americans to pay attention, they

can't just have their regular boring ass hearings. You know, you know those hearings where they act like they just drop the bombshell and the rest of us have no idea why. But you'll never believe what happened next. The White House Council emailed the Chief of Staff and he BCCed the Assistant White House Council. P. The assistant White House counsel! Puck! Wait, why are all the cameras leaving? What's going on? What's going on?

No. No. What they need to do, if you want people to watch in America is you have to spice things up, you know, have a kiss cam going for the witnesses. Yeah. Get Shakira to do a halftime show. Oh, you know what, they should just get sex involved. I'm gonna say it.

Yeah, that's what made the Bill Clinton scandal so big. Yeah, you gotta give people sex stuff. Like, I don't know, like that guy who stole the podium. Did he have sex with it afterwards? Or that guy who dressed in the animal skins? That was a sex thing, right? That had to be a sex thing. You know, actually, I've been thinking about this hard, and I figured it out.

Americans like entertainment. Congress wants Americans to pay attention to politics. Those two don't mix. But there is one person who can make political machinatinat intermiss. man, Lynn Manuel Miranda. How could a red hat right with Q&O support, break the border to get into the capital supporting law and order? In the room where it happens, the room where it happens, but you don't talk about Bruno, no, no, no. High five.

Hi-five, hi-fi. High five. No, no. Hi-fi, Bernie. Hi-fi. Hi-fi. Hi-fi! Hi-hi! All right. Let's move on to some international news. Because while America is trying its hardest to preserve its democracy, Europe is tackling major problems of its own. iPhone chargers.

The European Union is officially adopting a common charger, the USBC. That's the type of charger already used in most Android phones and other devices. All electronics sold in the EU will have to use a USBC port that's in order to reduce cable clutter and electronic waste. Apple has their own proprietary charger, and they say the proposed rule could render as many as a billion devices obsolete. Oh really, Apple? You're mad about a change coming out of nowhere that's going to render a billion devices obsolete.

Oh, that's funny because I've got to draw full of wired headphones that agree with you. Now you know I feel I feel... And you know, Apple claims, they claim that this new regulation is going to hurt them financially, but guys, let's be real. Apple always finds a way to win. You know, they have the regulation, but they'll find a way to spin this into making money, even if it's off of this. Thanks to the EU. Your old phone is obsolete now. And in the old days, you might

have just thrown it into the garbage, but not anymore. Introducing the eye garbage. A broad-broken new way to throw out your phone. It's basically a regular garbage can, but but like it's got round edges and it's kind of shiny. Anyway, it's $1,000. I will say this. If the USBC is going to become the default charger around the world, they've got to come up with a better name than USBC. That's boring.

If the USBC is going to become the default charger around the world, they've got to come up with a better name than USBC. That's boring. No one wants to say that. I don't like Apple, they went with lightning charger. Yeah, that makes you want to charge your phone so fast. Your thick falls off. Sounds like you're filling out taxes with that. Did you fill you you you you the the th the the the th they th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thoom. thi. thi. thoom. thoom. thoomb-s. thoomb-s. thoom. thoom. thoing. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th. th. thi. th. th. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. toeea. toea. Soea. Soea. Soea. Soea. Soea. So. So, tooooooo. Want to charge your phone so fast your dick falls off? You need the Thunder Blaster!

Ow! Wow! Yeah, that's the sound it makes every time you charge your phone. And by the way, can I just say how crazy it is that America is struggling, like how do we protect our children from gun violence? Oh, how do we stop people from starving, even when they work three jobs? There's nothing we can do. Meanwhile, Europe is so far ahead, they truly have first world problems, you know?

They're like, you know, I was thinking about this when I was in the doctor's office not paying the other day. But isn't isn't, isn't, isn't charger but then you need like a different charger? I was thinking about this. I mean you know there are many changes we could make. Yeah I learned about this in university that I also didn't have to pay for. You know you can like apply your mind and you can do this you know. It's all about your perspective guys. All right I'm going on paternity leave for an entire year. See you guys later. Alveda Zen, cues. All right, enough about Europe. Right now, there's an even bigger story brewing in the world of sports.

You know, usually in golf, the biggest controversy is that a player wore a too colorful shirt. You know, or someone said a bad word after two colorful shirt, you know, or someone said a bad word after they sliced their shot. Phu-ah-fooey! This time, though, golf is tied up in a real scandal because some of its star players are switching to a new league launching in Saudi Arabia. It's caused a major split in the golfing world. A controversial Saudi-backed golf series teas off tomorrow.

The tournament has secured several big names despite threats from the PGA tour to sanction them. American golfer Dustin Johnson quitting the PGA and joining the controversial league backed by Saudi Arabia. And this is coming after Phil Micklinson announced his comeback by joining the same league, despite previously describing the Saudi regime as scary MFers who have a horrible record on human rights. I understand that many people have very strong opinions and may disagree with my decision. But at this time, this is an opportunity that gives me a chance to have the most balance in my life going forward and I think this is going to do a lot of good for the game.

We all agree that when Phil Michelson says this gives him the most balance in my life, he means money, right? I mean, just say money. The reason I'm here is money. Yeah, because the Saudis are reportedly paying him $200 million. Yeah, so just say it's the money. It's not coming up with all these stories. I would say that to the audience about him. I wouldn't even play those games.

I'd be like, yeah, you know why I'm going to Saudi Arabia? They're giving me $200 million. $200 million. Because he told me why are you going, why are you? I'll give you a million dollars if you shut the f-up? Because he's acting like you've ever had to make the tir morals. Everyone's like, oh, I can't believe he's doing. You're telling me that for $200 million, you wouldn't play golf for the Saudis. Hell, let me tell you, for $200 million, I would let the rule of Saudi Arabia set up his tea on my crutch. That's where he can hit it from. I can buy a new push them to create a less oppressive society. I believe that.

Happened with South Africa during apartheid. People boycotted, the country was embarrassed, changed. On the other hand, there's an argument that maybe by bringing them in and exposing them to the rest of the world, that might cause liberal values to infiltrate their societies. Because it starts with golf, then over time it's racket sports, squash, tennis, yeah, yeah, now they're wearing shorts, ooh, getting more liberal. Yeah, then maybe you add a bar where people, men and women can hang out after their activities, and then boom, you got a liberal society, or at the very least, a country club. It's progress. I mean, the real question here is why would you even want to play golf in Saudi Arabia

in the first place? The sand trappers, the entire country. What are you doing? What are you doing? All right, finally, if you're one of those people who can't seem to arrive on time for any meeting or any date or any event in your calendar, well, according to trend watchers, your time is up. Being fashionably late is no longer in fashion, according to a New York Times article. It argues that now being fashionly late is out of fashion, that punctuality is cool. In the third year the pandemic, apparently people are less sympathetic for old excuses

of why you show up late to a meeting. The author of this says that now that more people have to go back into the office, they are more protective of their time that they got to be there and less forgiving about people who are late. That's right, people. Being on time is cool now. We're putting the punk in punctuality. Ow! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Someone just charged their phone. But still, let's not get carried away with this. All right? I agree. Yes, it is good to be on time, especially for big things, you know, like meetings at work, or your wedding. Yeah, you don't want to be late for that. Especially if you're the bride, because then, like the organ organ organ organ organ organ organ, the organ, the organ, they they they're the organ, they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're just just just they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're their their their their toa toa toa toa toa to-a to-a to-a to-a to-a to-sa to-saughana to, you don't want to be late for that.

Especially if you're the bride, because then like the organ player, they're gonna have to fill time, you know? And just be like, done, tun, tun, tun, tun, tun, no, no, not yet. Don, no, no, no. So look, I agree, I agree, I think it is good for people to arrive on time. But I will say this, I hate this culture of people who are personally offended by people who weren't there on the dot. Oh, you disrespected my time and you disrespected my family.

Come down. You get so touchy about it. You know you weren't here and time. Yo, back in the day I get it. You had to wait at the mall until your friend showed up. You didn't know where they were. You didn't know if they were late or dead. You had no clue. Yeah. You didn't even know if you were stood up for a date until you saw the person the next time. Hey, what happened? Oh, I got to to to to to to to to to to the the to the the the the the the the the the the their the the the the the their I the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I the. I the. I throoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. too. to. to. I the. I th. I th. I off that they're to wait a little bit for somebody to show up. You've got a phone, people, use it. Read the news, play a game, learn Japanese. Maybe you should answer one of those 2,000 unread emails that I've seen on your phone.

Oh, I was waiting for you. Oh, they're waiting for you. You're going to be mad that I'm late to dinner. And then then then then then when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when when I then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then then when I their Then when I finally get to dinner, you spent half of the time looking at your phone. Why don't you do this shit before I got there? Why? You've got the phone, use it. No, I'm late. No, Trevor, you came late. You came late.

I'm not late. I'm giving you an opportunity to watch guy through a cage. Yeah, pulling a man. You've seen me before. You've never seen an orangutan pull a grown man into a cage. And then another guy comes to help him, and the orangutan blocks him with his foot. And that other guy's like, all right, I'm not helping anymore. This shit is crazy.

And if you haven't seen that video, that's because you're probably always on time. All right, that's it for the headlines. But before we go to a break, it's time to check in on the weather forecast with our very own, Desi Lyddick, everybody! thee! Yeah, hey, what's up? Dessie. The weather... the weather... Sorry, Desi. Yeah, hey, what's up? The weather. Sorry, do we need to cut? What's up?

Okay. to take. the there. You know mine's taking that there? I actually do. We should be, no, I don't have recycling. It's fine, I'll just take it with me. That's good.

We should be on the weather already. Oh, yeah, hot in Saudi Arabia. Oh, you know what you should cover on the show tonight? That whole Gulf Saudi story. Oh. That'd be really good. You think so? Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. You know what's so crazy is the fact that American country clubs have just started letting women play golf and these guys are like, let's move it to Saudi Arabia. Every time I play golf, men criticize the way I play. They're all nitpicky about how I drive my real car on the course. Let me tell you something. I beat them to the next hole every time, so who's laughing now? Yeah, I hear you there.

Desi we're very late now. Would you mind, um... Oh yeah, yeah, I just got to charge my phone. Can you grab my charger out of my backpack? Oh, Jesus, Desi, I don't have the time for this thing. Oh, look, what the hell is this? What is this? What is this?

That one? What is it? Chargers. Yeah, I got my iPhone, my iPad, my iPad mini, my sound machine, my crockpot, my crockpot mini. But, but, but, careful though, there's a system. Okay, what, what, yeah. Don't pull the wrong one, because there is a bomb in there. Daisy, this is ridiculous. You can't go around like, this is madness. Oh, you know what? There's actually a story on this, out of thrown. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. their, thi. thi. their, thi. thi. their, their, thi. their, thi. their, thi. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. their, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, their. their. their. their. their. their. their, their. their, their, their, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, but, their. their. trying to condense down to one port. But here's my thing on it. I mean, what's so bad about having lots of different types of ports, right? All ports are beautiful. Ports naturally come in different shapes and sizes. You know, especially out of Europe.

Oh man, I have seen some wild ports in Europe. I did a semester abroad. It was a crazy time. But each one is beautiful in its own way. And I'm going to be honest, frankly, I don't really think the government should be regulating our ports. Right? My port, my choice.

I don't really think the government should be regulating our ports. my. You need anything else for me? Because I got go meet some friends for drinks. I hate being late. Oh, you wouldn't say. All right, well, you just grab this and then we can't... Yeah, thank you. It's funny that you were late for this and then now you're gonna just bounce up. I just, I want to be honest about something. I was talking about vaginas earlier. When you're saying the ports. Yeah, I just wanted I to to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go to go.

I was talking about vaginas earlier. When you're saying the port? Yeah, I just wanted you to know.

Yeah, I knew it was a vagina joke. See? That's what I love about you. You always know when I'm secretly talking about vaginas. You know, feminist that way. That's what they say about me. All right. Thank you so much for doing th. Desi. This was really informative. You're leaving now? Yeah.

Okay, well, have fun out there. I hear the weather's great. Yeah. All right, Desi Ladick everybody, thank you so much. All right, don't go away, because when we come back, weigh woom. to their thoult thii. No, there's nothing here. There's nothing here. There's nothing here.

Welcome back to the Daly show. We're going to talk about gentrification. It's why your old bodega is now a fancy brunch place named Bodega. But can the gentrifiers and the gentrifies make peace? Well, Roywood Jr. went to find out. According to the latest census, the white population is decreasing nationwide. For the first time the white population in the United States has declined. But there's one place their numbers are up almost 9%. Brooklyn. This

wealthy white migration has led to increases in rent, cost of living, and requests to speak to the manager. So I followed a trail of succulent in West Anderson DVDs deep into the den of gentrifying Brooklyn, where I set down with Tommy Hollow. The white population is going up almost 9%. The black population has gone down almost 9%. Would it be safe to say that that's how they're showing black lives matter by just moving them out to somewhere else? What they're doing is they're just buying it out and cleaning out the neighborhood and it's

not right. Tom's lived in Brooklyn his entire life. Everything's going up sky high and it's harder to live. So the way out is to sell the house. Tommy's mother bought their brownstone in 1963 when black home ownership in Brooklyn was booming. But lately black mortgages have been going the way of the dodo bird. We have the, you know, the white population that's moving in and the in in in in in in in in in in in in in their. And their.. their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, the way of the Dodo bird. We have the white population that's moving in, and they walk up and down the street. Some speak, others walk past you like, why are you here?

But you got the stick, man? Yeah, but if they don't think you like a magical negro? Yeah, well, that's one of the magical sticks. Okay, you just got to go And that scared gentrifies. The black dude with a magic snake? But no amount of black whizzery couldn't make the block parties litigant. And residents like Judith Lavelle and Ayana Prescott don't even recognize their own neighborhood. So this neighborhood used to be black.

All black, 100%. Like the 70s black, like when the music was good and OJ Simpson was just a really good football player. It was all black and you had discount stores where we could get things cheaply. We don't have that anymore. Yeah, our bodega is now a nail, like a high-end nail salon. What new milks have arrived?

Oh my gosh, there's so much. There's oat, there's hazelnut, there's so much. There's hemp, there's oat, there's hazelnut, there's coconut. The Trojan horse of gentrification seemed to increase the volume of nutmilks while decreasing actual necessary food supply. And even common decency was facing extinction. I've had neighbors call 311. 311 as a hotline New York is used to complain about non-emergency shit. And the gentrifiers seem

to have it on speed die. So 311 it's like the snitch line but the police don't come right away. Right, exactly. So it's like the dry snitch line? Yeah, okay. Couldn't you ring my bell? Introduce yourself. Come up, say hello. Just people that don't know how to make friends or is there an other issue of

Possibly. There's an anthropological term for this Racism and the only thing rising faster than the number of man bonds is the real estate the prices are just skyrocketing How's it going for three million before wait? I'm sorry. What did you say? The houses in the best tag go for three million. Before... Wait, I'm sorry, what'd you say? The house is in the best tiger for three million now. Three million dollars. How much you paid for this house? 237. 23,000 dollars, and you can sell it right now for close to 2 million. Oh, you got to go.

Wait a minute, you don't want to say that was your stay. I did that before you told me what you was getting. You know, the money is great, but it's not everything. Right, right, it's about the community. And if we're going to save that, we need to set some ground rules. What are some things that people moving into the neighborhood could do to help honor what it's been built over the decades. Just be kind. Wait, just be kind. Just be kind. Yeah, just be kind. Okay, okay.

Write that one down. Just be kind. Communication. Don't call 311. Don't smitch. Support the local small own businesses. The local weed dealers. If that's your thing, yes.

Definitely introduce yourself to your neighbors. Like I said, embracing what was already here. Don't just think that because you're here, you're entitled to your $9 artisan coffee. Artisanal coffee? Mm-hmm. Arabica beans from Kenya or? That's wild.

Yeah. Is that where your coffee came from? Got this from a Vodega. No, you said that. That's not a Vodacca cup. Feeke it's good, right? Damn, even I need caffeine. I gotta get the word out, and the only way to do that is in the universal language of Brooklyn.

The flyer. Get at a look. Tell me what you think. I'm making that that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that checks out, you know, do respect the culture of the block, which means clap on beat. Clap on the two's and forward, that's good. Oh, my God. You gotta be on beat. You can't have a block party if everybody on feet. You can't. You can't. This one, don't start a sentence with when I was at NYU. Put these up. They put them all around. Get the streets tree te te. gentriflying. But would it work? So would you consider yourself a gentrifier? I don't

know I've never really thought of it before. Do you speak to your neighbors? One of them, one time. Just like ran into each other in the hallway. Damn! This man needs an education. We're trying to spread the word on ways we can help gentrifiars. I could flyer the whole town. But would it make people respect the black black neighbors? Would it stop the 311 calls? The dog shit everywhere. Wait, should I say dog shit or dog poop? Dog shit for sure. Can anything I do make a difference? Just tell them what you think of some of these ideas. Um, no phones for Karens. 311 for murder only. Uh-huh. Contribute. Give the closest black person to you $50. You

$50. I don't carry cash on me. Shoot him my v. Mo. You ready? Scan that. All right. All right. All right, I got it. Appreciate that. All right. All right, I got it.

Boom, appreciate that. Thank you. Damn, fire and does work. But is it enough to stop the erosion of this historic community and hold on to legacy residents like Tommy? I'm going to Florida. That's f-dying the flora. I'm tired of the snow. I'm tied to the leaves. Are you tired of the racism the racism the racism the racism the racism the racism racism racism racism the racism racism racism the racism racism the racism racism racism racism racism the racism racism the the the the the the the the of the snow. I'm tired of shoveling the snow. I'm tied to leaves.

Are you tired of racism? Yes, I am. You don't go to Florida. Oh shit. I'm sorry for custom. It's okay. Thank you so much for that. All right, when we come back, Imman Villani, aka Miss Marbley herself, we'll be joining me on the show if you don't go away. Welcome back to the day. Welcome back to the Daily Show. My guest tonight is actor Iman Velani. She's here to talk about starring in the new Disney Plus series, Ms. Marvel. Please welcome, Imman Velani.

So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, and so, so, so, so, so, and so, and so, so, so, and so, so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so, and so the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the amount, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tooomoomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, tooomorrow, too, tooomorrow, too, too, thi, th's weird that people who doubted us, like we're the underdogs now. So the amount of actually is in a sentence, oh it's actually pretty good. Actually, I think it's kind of liking it. So that's my favorite part, yeah. You've been a fan for a long time. A hot minute.

Yeah. I want to know how, because everyone has a story about how they became a fan of one of the Marvel characters that not everybody knows about. Ooh, I mean I was like six when Iron Man came out. So the MC has always been in my life and then like, my high school's right across from a comic bookshop and I have a fattest crush on Robert Downey Jr. so I just like needed more Iron Man. So I was like constantly reading more Invisible Iron Heart and then threw her. Okay. Through her I found Kamala and I was like, oh my god, Brown Prison, who's this? And fell in love with her. It feels like, I mean, it feels like you were made

for this character. It was crazy. I felt like the comics were written about me, for me, and only me. Like, it really does, like, how many stories can you say, where you go like, oh who is this character? Okay, you know, here you have this girl who is born to immigrants from Pakistan and then she's like living in this different world and it's like, you, like you're that, that's wild. Like Muslim superhero? Fully.

Fully. It's crazy. This is, I hope you were just, Ms for every Halloween. That's what I would do. I dressed up as her on Halloween when I was 15. Oh you did? I fully manifested this. Yeah. Did people know who you are? No, I went to school and I was so excited.

I had like my grandma helped me stitch the costume. And I went to school and everyone was like, it was cool me? The lightning bolt doesn't mean flash! But yeah, I had to go across the street by Miss Marvel Comic and just carry it with me so people knew who I was. You had to reference the, you realize that's never going to happen again now, right? Right? That's, I mean, that's one of the coolest stories of all time. Yeah. You know, the story is really great because some people, you know, feel like it's a different world. They'd be like, oh, how do you have a Muslim superhero? And, you know, she's from Pakistan away, but everyone doesn't seem to understand that every hero comes from somewhere and they just have their story and that it's just like normal for

them. I love how it's just how it's just her that's just like, it's not 100% of her personality being Muslim or being Pakistani. It's just, she's this Avengers-loving fanfic writing Dork who just happens to be Muslim in Pakistani and that side of her kind of, you know, guides her, it's her moral code and it uplifts her and elevates her story in a really unique way that we really haven't seen in the MCU, so I think that's cool. It is very cool. It's super cool.

The powers are cool as well. Okay, that was something I was intrigued by because like, like, I remember seeing some of the old comics of Ms. Marvel and she had like stretching abilities. And I know you can give anything away, you know, different powers in the beginning. It's like you can you can like shape shift things and you can you know Yeah, is that other she gonna get like more powers or is it more powers? Yeah, there's purple? Yeah, there's purple light coming out of that I'm not being ungrateful. I'm just saying I'm just saying that I was just asking if she's gonna get like? That sounded like I was just the things. Are they're like? I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I th. I they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they they they're they they're they they they're they're they're gonna they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they they're they're they they they're they they they they they're they they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're they're gonna they're gonna they're they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna to to to to they're gonna to to they're to they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna to they're gonna they're gonna they're gonna they're they're they're they're they'reay and then Disney told me they're like imman's not going to tell you anything if you ask her about it.

I like swore an oath to Kevin by him like you will not get a Tom Holland out of me nothing coming out. No spoilers. Yeah. No spoilers whatsoever. So this is just the beginning. You realize this. You are. I mean this is such a fun wild story. You you got this role in one of the craziest ways possible, because I heard a rumor that you heard about this from, like a family member, they didn't call you directly. What's app? Which is like funny, because like brown people thrive on what's up? So like, the fact that this happened through a WhatsApp forward. How? How? My aunt was a part of some Brown group chat that she never opens, and what? And, because, because, because, and th. And, th. And, the, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, th, the, th, th, th, the, the, th, the, th, the the tho, their, their, their, thi. thi, their their their their their their their their their their their their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. th. th. th. th. th. th.... th.. th. th. th.

My aunt was a part of some brown group chat that she never opens.

And what is she opened it? And someone had forwarded this casting call and she sent it to me and I'm like, look, this is what a scam is. We don't, I'm not an actor. I can't, like, it was fully a blank page. I said, head shot and resume, and I was like, OK. And then they sent self-tape, and sides for the self-tape, and NDA. And I was like, oh, my God, it's real.

I know exactly which comic books they pulled these scenes from. And so I wasn't going to do it just out of sheer fear of failure. No, really? Yeah. And then like, I was ta. I'm they. their. to. to. to. to. to. I'm to. to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm to. I'm the the the the the the the to. I'm the the the the the the the the the their. I'm the the the their. It. It.

So suddenly I was talking to someone and then just like acted off of my own voice and the next day I get a call they're like, do you have a lawyer, we want to fly you to LA? I was like, cool. Cool. I mean, yeah. You know what this means though, you know what this means meansthough is now your aunt is going to answer every single WhatsApp that ever comes her way.

You've messed up her life. Like she's never going to be the same now. No, she holds this on me now. Yeah, congratulations on the show. Congratulations on to be so successful.
