If you’ve ever seen Silicon Valley or Portlandia, you’ll know that Kumail Nanjiani is one hilarious comedian. Nanjiani and his wife, Emily Gordon, who co-wrote The Big Sick with him — a film based on the true story of them struggling with her sickness, are no newbies to serious health situations.

They’re making the most of their quarantine by giving us their hilarious 30-minute podcast “Staying In,” where they discuss everything from self-worth, to cutting each other’s hair, to gross pandemic food. Profits from the podcast are going to charities helping those impacted by coronavirus.

If you thought that you’d never see Stephen Colbert do The Late Show from his bathtub, you would have been correct, until COVID-19.

His weekday videos still have him wearing his trademark suit and talking about all his usual satire, but this time it’s called “A Late Show” and is filmed from the comfort of his backyard, living room, and yes, bubble bath. Access the hilarity via YouTube on weeknights.
