Aasif Mandvi defends his career choices

Every now and then I go on a Daily Show with Jon Stewart kick and watch a month or two's worth of videos at a time. I was tickled to see this one reference The Last Airbender movie with Aasif Mandvi (Zhao because OBVIOUSLY the bad dudes have to be dark-skinned even if that's the opposite of the original show) reporting from the 2012 Republican National Convention. The movie reference is about a minute in:

Stewart: You set up a rain machine inside the convention center.
Mandvi: Nah, it's mostly spit and beer. These people really don't like The Daily Show. Or The Last Airbender. (Starts shouting) It was M. Night Shyamalan! It was a good script!

You keep telling yourself that, Aasif. Whatever helps my Indian dreamboat sleep at night.
