Will you have puppets? I like puppets.

zabroglexis.bsky.social•5 days ago

Why do I feel like this is going to be one of those "comedy" specials that ends with me tearing up and reflecting on humanity at the end more than actually laughing (but also still laughing)?

abigstehen.bsky.social•5 days ago

I really don't appreciate you being super fit and cut AND being funny. It's bad enough with John Hamm and Ryan Reynolds.

Seriously, have fun, you'll do great.

ahutton.bsky.social•6 days ago

But will it cut into your gym time?

endidiocracy.bsky.social•6 days ago

I was hoping you were running for office!!

catherinesnook.bsky.social•6 days ago

So happy you're back Kumail! Just in the nick of time, I'd say! 🤗

nickc11.bsky.social•6 days ago

We (my wife and I) first got to see you on Doug Loves Movies, and we’ve followed you ever since.

Congrats on the new special, we’re excited to see your new stand up.

amazonindin.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m excited to see what happens

sonyastoked.bsky.social•6 days ago

Saw you in Oakland and it was brilliant - your stand up is like group therapy with a full auditorium, thank you!!

disturbedartist.bsky.social•6 days ago

Just saw a kids show where you were the voice of a hedgehog or some animal, wasn't really paying attention. But recognized your voice right away. So I was just thinking of you.

passonx.bsky.social•5 days ago

I will watch it! Sadly, Disney wants to screw people by bundling a HULU subscription and charging out the ass, but I will watch at my friend's house or borrow his login credentials.

featheredzebra.bsky.social•6 days ago

I look forward to it! You are the best thing to come out of The Eternals ;)

grimmpixels.bsky.social•6 days ago

No, I remember you hyping the last one on The Indoor Kids and that had to be, like, maybe five years ago, right? Right?

darlinnikkij.bsky.social•6 days ago

I have missed your stand up and I'm so upset I missed it when you came to San Diego

snuffoutthelight.bsky.social•6 days ago

My friend Zach was doing stand up in RI and said you showed up and did a set right before him, and then he bombed lmao

dc-757.bsky.social•6 days ago

I’m Definitely gonna watch it.

warrenco.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hey Harold!!

warrenco.bsky.social•6 days ago

What 10 years?! I only have Netflix, I thought you were a new guy.

r6dnm.bsky.social•6 days ago

You are killing your chances of being popular for teaming up with HULU. Go to Apple+

murgenx.bsky.social•6 days ago

I'll wait for Netflix to have it

zax2000.bsky.social•6 days ago

Now with 100% more Marvel nerd cred! 😉

cc2112.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hook it up bro!!!
Can't wait for your new stand up!!!

ladabanana.bsky.social•6 days ago

Yay and congratulations!! I'm excited I was able to see you live while developing material in Charlotte!!

patoty.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can’t think of a better time to return to standup comedy. Can’t wait to see the special!

poetryofsteak.bsky.social•6 days ago

Can’t wait. You know what else this dystopia needs? An Indoor Kids revival.

iamleahanderson.bsky.social•6 days ago

🙌 looking forward to it!

rallyh0.bsky.social•6 days ago

Congrats on the new special! Can't wait to see it.

Now that that's out of the way, real till time... When do we get the Eddie Lizard Harmonquest Christmas Special? Give the people what they want!

recursivetaco.bsky.social•6 days ago

go2guy.bsky.social•5 days ago

Break legs!

macicrat.bsky.social•6 days ago

Congratulations on your new stand up comedy special, looking forward to watching it and seeing what you've been working on after a long break.

cashhartz.bsky.social•6 days ago

I told the Hulu guy to do it on Friday after the show. He was trying to break into my car in the parking lot.

wfhgames.bsky.social•6 days ago

Congrats @kumail.bsky.social! We're huge fans over here and can't wait to watch the special. While we all wait for it to come out, do you want to play our game and create a circuit between yourself and January Jones? ☺️ https://www.wfhgames.com/tv-circuit/archive/26

donalddrumpf2025.bsky.social•6 days ago

I hope it turned out better than Rogan's comeback. What a train wreck

amy2130.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hubby & I saw you in Vancouver on Saturday. It was such a great show, we're looking forward to the special!

nikkonfuzion.bsky.social•6 days ago

chaselisbon.bsky.social•6 days ago

Been rewatching Silicon Valley with my wife, and you are no doubt a genius. ❤️

jennsamuelson.bsky.social•6 days ago

You know that twilight zone /episode from 2019? Wherein the comedian’s. Bits cause the subject of the joke to vanish?

Any chance that (let’s call it a)“skill” was REAL?

— if yes, I have a proposition for you.

overstimulatedmom.bsky.social•4 days ago

Where can I get tickets!!

kaliskys.bsky.social•5 days ago

We will be watching your special. Thanks for the laughs.

joelevard.com•6 days ago

This is exciting news! I got to see you perform Unpronounceable in Chicago forever ago (plus a few bowling alley open mics) and I feel an inappropriate sense of personal pride in your success

staceyhood.bsky.social•6 days ago

Do you think you'll add more standup dates, Kumail?

ianboothby.bsky.social•6 days ago

You have to warn us if you’re going to give us good news. We’re not used to it right now. It might cause cramping.

ljwaters.bsky.social•6 days ago

When is it available? I would like to try and budget in a month of Hulu to watch.

tartangimmick.bsky.social•6 days ago

Looking forward to it. Have fun out there. 👍

randyhauser.bsky.social•6 days ago

Sorry dude but you will land on your feet.

davidmichaelmc9.bsky.social•6 days ago

You ever play with a funny mirror that talks back?

davidmichaelmc9.bsky.social•6 days ago

Does your asshole smell sweet now?

Not magically...

We mean...

When you try to pleasure yourself in the shower by widening the asshole during orgasm...

Do your fingers taste good?

nlroundabout.bsky.social•6 days ago

Currently rewatching Silicon Valley. Special resonance these days. Still hilarious, brilliant.

thatjeremy.bsky.social•6 days ago

Nice man

asterifotia.bsky.social•6 days ago

rdreader.bsky.social•6 days ago

Looking forward to this!

shankedoff.bsky.social•6 days ago

I've been meaning to rewatch Silicon Valley, it was such a good watch.

shankedoff.bsky.social•6 days ago

Ah! Hulu is not Hooli?
My mistake 🤦‍♂️

ndrew.bsky.social•6 days ago

thought you were great in coneheads, sure this will be top notch too

robbedoflife.bsky.social•6 days ago

Wait he was in coneheads? I saw that movie years ago I don't remember him in coneheads

endingpop.bsky.social•5 days ago

I mean the cool kids are putting their specials on @dropout.tv but you do you 😜

agarthan-nephilim.bsky.social•6 days ago

For a minute there I thought you were thrilled at having to do stand-ups as part of Agile office team management processes and I can’t even.

jamesstaticone.bsky.social•6 days ago

Glad you’re doing some comedy again, you were showing us up looking all buff

skysthel1mit.bsky.social•5 days ago

Nice to have you back, bro! Congratulations on your special, can’t wait to watch it.

beercricketrunning.bsky.social•6 days ago

Look forward to seeing you in London, bhai

kuragari.bsky.social•6 days ago

It sucks Steve Zaslav destroyed Cartoon Network. I loved hearing you as random characters like Prismo.
I miss standup and I'll watch if I get a chance.

kateholt.bsky.social•6 days ago

Still chuckling from your Laugh Factory set last Wed night! I was one of the 2 organizers for that corp event in attendance (we were a weird & wonderful audience 😅) and everyone repeated your jokes the rest of the conference. Thank YOU for returning to stand up. Can’t wait to catch you in SF!

arunkumarholla.bsky.social•6 days ago

Hurray hurry up KN, lampoon the fascists as there is no tomorrow 👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏👏

jewskychai.bsky.social•5 days ago

alanhessphotography.com•6 days ago

Congrats. Looking forward to it.

ndrichter.bsky.social•6 days ago

I've been a fan since I saw you on that Pete Holmes Batman sketch.

Your line "Thank you , you have actually solved a lot of my problems." still makes me giggle to myself to this day.

federalunderground.bsky.social•6 days ago

Loved you on Blocks, great episode.
