Whoopi!
I was looking around weblogs that I read usually, and I come across something very interesting in Iranian or Canadian? blog, he talk about a new comedy show in NBC and there is an Iranian guy In it with the character name Nasim. Whoopi Goldberg and his cast including the Iranian Handy man who has performed a lot of Standup comedy in London and he lives there, he is now a british Iranian.He performed most of his Talent in England. Now he is playing a role in this show and you can see the Sneak peeks and everything in here, (300k, 50k) and I guess you would see Nasim or his real name Omid Djalili making jokes and they are funny and all of his jokes were political and about Iran, when I checked the sneak peek preview. Omid Djalili has had roles in many movies and shows that I bet you guys have seen him, like in the Galidiator he played the role of the slave trader, in Mummy the Egyptian officer who wanted to see the treasure, and then he dies with the bugs, so he played in a lot of movies and shows. I guess it would be very interesting to see him as a handy man with Whoopi this fall season in NBC. It seems he had some difficulties after Sept11 with his stand up comedy here take a look at this interview with him.
This is what whoopi in NBC is about:"Whoopi," with Whoopi Goldberg as an ex-diva who runs a small New York hotel in an unconventional manner with her Iranian handyman, Omid Djalili ("The Mummy"). from Charlotte bserver.
