- Hari Kondabolu: Funny Man. Thoughtful Man.
Send us Fan Mail It’s not every standup comedian who has the London School of Economics on the resume. In fact, Hari Kondabolu may be the only standup who has the London School of Economics on his resume. It may not reflect how funny he is, but it shines a bit of a light on how thoughtful his work is. He is perhaps best known for creating the documentary “The Problem With Apu” about the character on The Simpsons. But Hari had been doing this type of work, raising consciousness by being clever, for years before the 2017 film. He successfully walks that fine line as a standup, making us laugh and making us think.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.Learn more about your ad choices.

- Episode 1169 - Hari Kondabolu
When Hari Kondabolu was a college student, he interviewed Marc for a research paper about standup comedy. Twenty years later, they're talking to each other as peers whose lives have changed considerably in the past two decades. With a newborn baby, a recent Netflix special, and a documentary about Apu from The Simpsons that spurred a global conversation about representation in pop culture, Hari gets Marc up to speed on where his life is at right now. He also explains how he developed his comedy career while engaging in human rights work and immigration activism.

- Hari Kondabolu Gets ‘Politically Re-Active’
Comedian Hari Kondabolu has reunited with his friend (and former ‘Last Laugh’ guest ) W. Kamau Bell for a new season of their podcast ‘Politically Re-Active.’ In this episode, Hari shares his thoughts about Donald Trump, Joe Biden and undecided voters ahead of the 2020 election. He looks back on his mildly embarrassing late-night stand-up debut on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live’ and explains why Margaret Cho made him want to become a comedian in the first place. And finally, Hari reacts to the way ‘The Simpsons’ directly responded to his documentary ‘The Problem With Apu,’ shares how he feels about Hank Azaria’s decision to stop playing the role and why it shouldn’t have taken “the brutal murder of a Black man in Minneapolis to change animation.” Twitter: @harikondabolu and @mattwilstein | Instagram: @harikondabolu and @lastlaughpod Highlights from this episode and others at The Daily Beast .
