Stop getting Kumail Nanjiani confused with other people, okay?

The poor guy has had more than enough of it.

Last week, The Big Sick star posted the following tweet.

A day may come when I am not mistaken for another brown actor. But it is not this day.

Turns out he isn’t the only actor that this has been happening to. Soon, others were chipping in.

Every time I get recognized for you I think “man I wish it were true:)”

In a night that seemed to sideline the Time’s Up and #MeToo movements for the first time since they exploded in Hollywood, the Oscar ceremony took a moment to acknowledge the rising tide of voices from women and people of color who the film industry has silenced for so long.

Salma Hayek, Ashley Judd, and Annabella Sciorra – all of whom accused Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault – took the stage to talk about the movement for equality in Hollywood.

Filmmakers like Lee Daniels, Ava DuVernay, and Kumail Nanjiani spoke about representation and the future of cinemaMoonlight director Barry Jenkins recalled hearing women cry with the importance of Wonder Woman as they watched it in theaters. Daniels specifically mentioned Black Panther and A Wrinkle in Time. Read more…

If there was ever a way to take the joy out of an Oscar nomination, it would involve brussels sprouts.

Yesterday Kumail Nanjiani followed through on a bet he made with Baby Driver director Edgar Wright last year about his and Emily V. Gordon’s film The Big Sick.

And also I told @kumailn that he and @emilyvgordon would get a best screenplay nomination and that if I was right, he had to eat a bowl of brussel sprouts.

Edgar loves brussel sprouts

I hate brussel sprouts.

Tonight I will be eating a bowl of brussel sprouts and enjoying it for the first timehttps://t.co/ekVhs68CiU

Nothing like a feel-good film to watch together as a family this holiday season, huh?

The Big Sick actor and comedian Kumail Nanjiani plugged his film on Twitter as being a great way to spend time with your family instead of making awkward conversation during the holiday season.

According to @RottenTomatoes, #TheBigSick is the 2nd best reviewed movie of 2017! It’s a great movie to watch with your family. On Amazon Prime & iTunes & all that. Watch it instead of working super hard to not talk about things! https://t.co/mfSDhqUGlM

Ladies and gentleman, Kumail Nanjiani.

Silicon Valley star and all-round paragon of humanity Kumail Nanjiani gave us all another reason to go see Star Wars: The Last Jedi on Tuesday. He posted a Twitter thread recalling an encounter he had with director Rian Johnson back when he was a red carpet journalist at Comic Con.

THREAD: I know y’all don’t need another reason to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi, but I’m gonna give you one more. This is a story about its director, @rianjohnson, & why he’s awesome. In 2012, before Silicon Valley, I got a job doing interviews on the red carpet at Comic Con.
