The first episode titled "The Comedian" is a remade episode from the original series starring Kumail Nanjiani, and it showcases the titular funnyman (Nanjiani) struggling to connect with his audiences. However, he’s one day offered a solution to include more of his personal life into his routine. It only takes a while before the people and things inspired by these jokes begin disappearing from him.
