Ep 2. The Comedian

Comedian Samir Wassan (Kumail Nanjiani) is struggling to make a name for himself in the stand-up comedy world, but after meeting legendary comedian J.C. Wheeler (Tracy Morgan), Samir's fortunes turn around. However, as he becomes more successful, he discovers that every joke he tells comes at a cost - a person or object from his life disappears with every punchline. With the help of a mysterious woman named The Muse (Diarra Kilpatrick), Samir must decide how far he's willing to go for his career. As he grapples with the consequences of his newfound success, Samir learns that the price of fame may be too high. "The Comedian" explores themes of success, sacrifice, and the dark side of comedy in a thought-provoking and unsettling episode of The Twilight Zone.
