3. Unfairly funny Family Guy – Ultimate Power in the Universe ...

In 1992 Djalili married actress Annabel Knight, with whom he now has three children – Isabella, 16, Louis, 14 and Danny, 10. The couple spent a few years in the Czech Republic doing experimental theatre, after which they came home to start a family. 

It was Annabel who suggested he try stand-up – she had once shared a flat with Alan Davies, and watched his ascent – and in 1994 persuaded him to go for a night out at the Comedy Store. Djalili’s initial reaction – a shrill “I can’t do this! Are you insane?” – gradually gave way to curiosity. 

He took a show to the Edinburgh Fringe called The Short Fat Kebab Shop-Owner’s Son. On returning home he wrote to every comedy establishment in London telling them how he had stormed Edinburgh (which wasn’t strictly true) and would like to perform at their club. No one responded apart from a small place in Twickenham which gave him a five-minute slot. 

Djalili raised the roof after just three minutes, at which point his stand-up career was up and running. He was taken under the wing of the comic Ivor Dembina, with whom he briefly formed a double act called The Arab and the Jew, and who tutored him in the ways of the stand-up – “he would always give me notes after a show, a typical high-status Jew”. 

There were disastrous nights when the compere couldn’t get his name right – “ladies and gentlemen, Omad Darjeeling!” — and where he didn’t get a single laugh. On one such evening the crowd cried “off, off, off” to a slow-handclap. Djalili squinted into the lights to see his wife leading the chant. “In her defence, she saw how badly things were going and she just couldn’t bear it. She thought I’d be better off if I just left.” 

There have been suggestions that Djalili wouldn’t have had a career without September 11, but the truth is that it nearly finished it off. Immediately after the terrorist attacks he was dropped from corporate gigs and from theatre performances. “Their excuse was that they were dropping comedy altogether but I would find out later that someone had taken my place,” he recalls. “Fortunately, I had just won the Time Out comedy award and they had me booked in at the Bloomsbury Theatre. I didn’t want to do it but they were the only ones that hadn’t dropped me. There were posters around town saying ‘Middle Eastern madman!’. We had people running all over central London tearing those posters down.” 

Djalili rewrote his material to reflect the new political times, and the resulting show, Behind Enemy Lines, was a huge success, earning him adoring reviews and a nomination for the Perrier Award at the Edinburgh festival. Since then he has become the cuddly face of the Middle East, a cultural standard-bearer with a big grin and a nice line in belly dancing. 

His story is pretty interesting. Elsewhere in the article he talks about his feelings on his role in Whoopi, an NBC sitcom that lasted only one season a few years ago, and on his HBO special, both of which came before he felt as if he had really established himself as a comedian in the UK. It’s a great article. Read it.

Here’s the trailer for the film:

From the description on YouTube:

Directed by James Frost, OK Go and Syyn Labs. Produced by Shirley Moyers. The official video for the recorded version of “This Too Shall Pass” off of the album “Of the Blue Colour of the Sky”. The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs over the course of several months.

I mean…wow. You gotta hand it to them. This is a real work of art. Totally raises the bar for all us directors and puts to shame all those performers who complain because a video shoot is four days long and because they aren’t in every frame of film :) This took months of preparation, and there’s no question that people are watching to see the action unfurl, not to see the band lip-synch.

I’m not sure why. It’s the “Protect This House. I Will.” / “Combine Training” one with Brandon Jennings, Michael Phelps, Dez Bryant, and Georges St. Pierre. I think it’s a combination of the score, the editing, and the fact that Phelps is using a climbing peg board in it. I’ve always wanted a climbing peg board in my home. A large one. That spanned an entire wall, floor to cathedral ceiling. It was probably my favourite activity in junior high, even though I couldn’t conquer the board we had at our school until grade 9. Still, the thought of having a gigantic peg board in my home one day is only slightly trumped by the idea of having a huge climbing wall in my billiards room.

One day, friends. One day.

First, the talk is a pretty good one, with Bill Gates talking about the importance of reducing our CO2 emissions.

But second, and as more of an Easter egg, when presented with the need to show a photo that represented the entirety of earth’s human population, he turned to a well-known photo of Baha’i volunteers serving at the Baha’i World Centre in Haifa, Israel, presumably because the people in the photo represent a cross section of the world’s races and cultures.

Here’s the talk, and the photo of the Baha’is pops up at the 4:29 mark. Fun
