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!
