In this exclusive podcast, Aasif Mandvi goes Behind the Show to discuss the craziest moments of his tenure as TDS correspondent, like auditioning for and appearing on TDS the same day. He also shares behind-the-scenes details about his favorite moments from the field, including the racist diatribe that got a North Carolina Republican fired, Aasif’s father seeing his son ask the Governor of Florida for a urine sample on the evening news, and how Aasif being chased around a Republican convention led to John Oliver meeting his future wife.
