Hey Bros!
Welcome to Twitter in Focus where media comes to die. Today’s contestant is comedian, Kumail Nanjiani. I just caught him on Comedy Central’s @Midnight, where he won the Internet. Let’s see if his tweets are just as funny.

January 6th: “Dunno how we all collectively slept on Prisoners but goddamm it’s a great thriller. Reminds me of Silence of the Lambs, a high compliment.”
I still don’t know why Wolervine didn’t just kill that guy.
January 6th: “Taping TODAY w . Bet free tix here: ”
You were crushin’ it on that show. And that’s not easy considering you were up against Paul Scheer.
January 6th: “The fact that one of Dick Cheney’s daughters is gay almost makes me believe in a higher power.”
And, thankfully, one of them dropped out of the Senate race in Wyoming.
January 6th: “”Oh these people I kinda know just started following this person I don’t know. Thanks for telling me Twitter! ” – nobody”
Hey, without it, how would I find people for this column?
22 hours ago: “See me tonight on w & ! It was awesome. ”
That show was worth a second plug. I’ll allow it.
21 hours ago: “Problem? I’m anti-blem! ”
Even after Googling, still not sure what that means.
5 hours ago: “Deng is leaving the Bulls. They probably shouldn’t have tried to literally kill him last season.”
If murder isn’t part of professional sports, then what’s the point?
5 hours ago: “When someone gives me a box of cookies, they’re basically gifting me a horrendous internal struggle for a week.”
I know! Do I eat one sleeve at a time or both together?
4 hours ago: “If I had a time machine I would go back in time and invent the time machine.”
Great, then it will be in the hands of some dinosaur eventually. T-Rex’s are scary enough.
4 hours ago: “Million dollar idea: tattoos for dogs.”
“Sir, I’m going to need for you to hold your pitbull steady.”
2 hours ago: “”Oh shit I never watched Downton Abbey.” – me on my deathbed”
I’ll say the same thing about American Idol.
Okay, let’s rate Kumail’s tweets. Pretty solid, funny, plugs. Definitely one to watch. I give him an 8 for Mustness, a 9 for Style and an 8 for Insanity. Overall score 8.3. Follow Kumail.
