About Rajiv Satyal:
Rajiv Satyal is a prominent comedian and host based in Los Angeles, known for his clean, family-friendly humor that appeals to a broad and diverse audience. He began his stand-up comedy career in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he was born and raised.
His entry into comedy was far from conventional—his first performance took place in a locker room for tennis legend Pete Sampras, who was then ranked world number one. From that unusual start, Rajiv has gone on to achieve several notable accomplishments, 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 surpassed 100 million views, caught the attention of Bollywood celebrities, and was featured at Modi’s events in Shanghai and Dubai. Impressively, Rajiv was the first comedian to perform a full one-hour stand-up show in India.
He has opened for Russell Peters more than any other Indian comedian and shared the stage with comedy heavyweights such as Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—most memorably serving as the opening act for Chappelle’s first show following his trip to Africa. A personal career highlight for Rajiv was closing a show at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club immediately after his comedy hero, Jerry Seinfeld.

About Zarna Garg:
Zarna Garg began her comedy career in 2018 with an open mic performance in New York City and followed it up with her first official stand-up show at Carolines on Broadway in February 2019. Her debut romantic comedy screenplay, *Rearranged*, won Best Comedy Screenplay at the 2019 Austin Film Festival and advanced to the semi-finals of the 2019 Academy Nicholl Fellowships.
In 2021, she took first place in Kevin Hart’s Peacock comedy contest Lyft Comics and was named the Newcomer Winner at the Ladies of Laughter Awards. In 2022, she appeared on Apple TV’s Gutsy*, hosted by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, as one of America’s boldest female comedians. Her story has been featured on *Tamron Hall*, *Today*, and *This American Life*, where she discussed how her daughter Zoya inspired her comedic journey. She later returned to *This American Life alongside her husband, Shalabh. In 2023, Variety named her one of the “10 Comics to Watch.”
Her first comedy special, Zarna Garg: One in a Billion*, premiered on Prime Video on May 16, 2023, and was filmed at the Gramercy Theatre in New York City in September 2022. Jason Zinoman of *The New York Times described her comedic style as having “quick set-ups, rapid-fire punchlines,” delivered with “the kind of presence that powers network sitcoms.” Her second special, *Practical People Win*, is set to premiere on Hulu in July 2025.
Zarna’s memoir, *This American Woman*, released on April 29, 2025, quickly became a New York Times bestseller and boasts a Goodreads rating of 4.57.
She also hosts and produces *The Zarna Garg Family Podcast*, which is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms.
