About a week after comedian Nimesh Patel's successful surgery to remove his right testicle, there he was at the Comedy Cellar in New York City making jokes about his one remaining ball.
Comedian Nimesh Patel knew the second he was diagnosed with testicular cancer that he would be talking about it on stage very soon. And about a week later—after successful surgery to remove his right testicle—there he was at the Comedy Cellar in New York City making jokes about his one remaining ball.
The joke that got him in trouble was premised on the idea that no one would choose to be gay if they were already Black. “Nobody’s doubling down on hardship,” he said from the stage. “No Black dude ever wakes up, looks in the mirror and says, ‘You know what? This Black shit? Too easy. I’m gonna put on a Madonna halter top, some Jordans, and make some Indian dudes really uncomfortable.’ That’s never happened before.
Carlson wanted him to talk about “cancel culture,” but Patel ended up going on Joe Rogan’s podcast instead. “If I was gonna talk about it, it was going to be on the biggest platform possible,” he says in an implicit dig at their relative audience sizes.. “I know why they took the clip from Rogan, because had they emailed me or contacted me, I definitely would have said no.”
