About Rajiv Satyal:
Rajiv Satyal is a celebrated comedian and host based in Los Angeles, known for his clean, family-friendly comedy that connects with a wide range of audiences. He began his stand-up career in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio.
Rajiv’s entry into comedy was far from conventional—his first performance took place in a locker room for then-world number one tennis player Pete Sampras. Since that unique start, he has reached several major milestones, including performing before a crowd of 17,000 as the opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He also created the viral video *I AM INDIAN*, which amassed over 100 million views, drew praise from Bollywood celebrities, and was featured at Modi’s events in Shanghai and Dubai. Remarkably, Rajiv holds the distinction of being the first comedian to deliver a full one-hour stand-up show in India.
He has opened for Russell Peters more frequently than any other Indian comedian and has shared the stage with major comedic talents like Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—most memorably opening for Chappelle after his return from Africa. A personal career highlight for Rajiv was closing a show at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club right after his comedy hero, Jerry Seinfeld.

Her debut romantic comedy screenplay, *Rearranged*, won Best Comedy Screenplay at the 2019 Austin Film Festival and was a semi-finalist in the 2019 Academy Nicholl Fellowships.

Her journey has also been spotlighted on *Tamron Hall*, *Today*, and *This American Life*, where she discussed how her daughter Zoya inspired her to pursue comedy. She later returned to *This American Life with her husband, Shalabh. In 2023, Variety named her among the “10 Comics to Watch.”
Zarna’s debut comedy special, Zarna Garg: One in a Billion*, was released on Prime Video on May 16, 2023, and filmed at the Gramercy Theatre in New York in September 2022. *The New York Times critic Jason Zinoman praised her for her “quick set-ups, rapid-fire punchlines,” and noted her commanding stage presence, akin to that of network sitcom stars. Her next special, *Practical People Win*, is set to premiere on Hulu in July 2025.
Her memoir, *This American Woman*, published on April 29, 2025, became a New York Times bestseller and earned a 4.57 rating on Goodreads.
