Kumail Nanjiani was tickled to find out he was the topic of some absurd gossip this year.
After getting a joking “Congratulations!” from Hearon, Nanjiani openly admitted the murmurs made him “so excited.”
Apparently, the phony tea even felt plausible enough for a mutual friend of the “Silicon Valley” star and his wife, Emily Gordon, to bring themself to pull her “aside” and tell her, “Hey so I heard that Kumail and Michelle Obama are, like, doing it.”
The entire idea was so ludicrous that Gordon “wasn’t even upset,” according to her husband.
“Multiple people brought it up to me,” Nanjiani went on, adding the ultimate kicker as he revealed, “I’ve never met Michelle Obama.”
The gossip was news to the “Big Sick” actor, who asked Hearon whether he thought it was true or not.
“I don’t know, but what I’m saying is, from my frame, Kumail, you’re up there with Jen Aniston in terms of affair rumors,” the host replied.
“I don’t know, I think Michelle’s slumming it,” Nanjiani joked back, whose Hulu stand-up special “Night Thoughts” is out now.
