Franklin & Bash

This popped up as a brief mention on my Tumblr dash this morning and then I could find it again :\ - but I just employed the Googles and this is what I found

While talking about all the things he doesn’t get in comedy with Bullett Media, Reggie Watts let is slip that Kumail Nanjiani who plays an agoraphobic paralegal on the show, will not be returning for the high fives.

“I’m a huge fan. It’s totally brilliant. It’s a really well-designed comedy. There’s not a wasted line in it. Every line is perfect, and totally well-crafted. My friend Kumail [Nanjiani] is on it. I love him on that, but he actually retired from it, they wrote him off.” [Bullett]

Given Nanjiani’s pretty busy schedule with other shows like Veep, Portlandia, being a touring comedian as well as the recent news of getting his own show, it’s no surprise that something had to give in Kumail’s life. He probably had the least amount of input in this role.
