""That's the saddest I've ever been in my whole life," Nanjiani said one recent evening, his eyes dewy. He was sitting in a large wooden cubby at a Lower East Side cat café called Meow Parlour. Felines roamed the room. Keeping Nanjiani company was a tortoiseshell kitty named Honeybee. A golden stripe sloped down her nose. "Oh, my God, look how pretty that is," he marvelled."
"Nanjiani, who had on a navy-blue shirt and jeans, was in town to talk about his new standup special, "Night Thoughts," on Hulu. His first in twelve years, it veers through musings on anxiety, concerts, drugs, and Bagel. "I hadn't missed standup, but I missed being good at it," he said. "That was the feeling I didn't like. And I thought, Let me see if this is still something I enjoy." It was."
Kumail Nanjiani is grieving the loss of his seventeen-year-old cat, Bagel, and describes the loss as the saddest moment of his life. He spent time in a Lower East Side cat café with a tortoiseshell named Honeybee while reflecting on the pet. Nanjiani released a new standup special, Night Thoughts, on Hulu — his first in twelve years — which covers anxiety, concerts, drugs, and Bagel. He returned to standup to test his enjoyment and skill. He remained active acting in Silicon Valley, Only Murders in the Building, The Big Sick, and bulked up to play Kingo in Eternals.
