Excited
On a recent episode of The Daily Show, Indian American comedian and Daily Show “correspondent” Aasif Mandvi is hilarious in this segment on CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta’s possible appointment as Surgeon General, playing to the stereotype of Indian Americans, as well as Asian Americans, questioning with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, General Shinseki and Dr. Steven Chu, who will win “the great Asian cabinet race?”
