BRIAN GEORGE: [Laughs] Wow!
Aloo paratha, for sure.
My mum used to make a lovely fish curry, so fish curry.
Oh, biryani everything!
Bring everything to the table and have more alliances.
I would love to see haleem on the table.

I’m a huge haleem fan.
GEORGE: Oh, I see.
Deli Boys Breaks New Ground
The script was through-the-roof wonderful.
Yeah, its very good!
So, the achar-stuffed coke plotline is so genius.
I never thought that that could be a possibility.
I need to be a part of it?
GEORGE: Well, thank you for the assumption that I had an option.
Youre actually offering this to me?
The script was through-the-roof wonderful.
Is it breaking new ground?
I binge-watched the show twice now.
I love it that much.
GEORGE: You watched the whole thing?
I watched the whole thing twice.
I’m gonna watch it a third time when it comes on Hulu slash Disney+.
But there was a scene that made me laugh…
GEORGE: I hope so!
Poorna Jagannathan also reveals when Damon Lindelo’s DCU series ‘Lanterns’ begins filming.
[Laughs] There werea lotof things that made me laugh.
It made me think this is so rooted in our culture.
We’re always taking care of, like the helicopter parent thing.
GEORGE: There were so many.
I wish I could recall one.
It’s been a number of months, but we were constantly cracking up.
It was very hard to keep a straight face.
All I know is I had a blast.
I didn’t see it early on.
How early did you know about that plot twist, and how did it shape your performance going forward?
But I can’t be absolutely sure about that.
[Laughs] Do I really?
Youshowyou care, but youdon’t.
For the boys, it’s a gut punch because they assume everybody loves them.
[Laughs] They are pampered that much.
It’s such a gut punch, though.
Well, you know, I killed daddy!
I think it changes things.
It changes a lot because he’s on the run now.
I would love to see where that goes because the two of them are getting intoGodfathervibes now.
So, coming after you is going to be a huge thing.
GEORGE: Which is, I think, such a clever thing to go for theGodfatherthing.
I think it’s great.
It’s such a clever thing.
Before I wrap up, you’ve had such a beautiful catalog of work.
I love your stuff, fromSeinfeldtoThe Big Bang Theory.
GEORGE: Oh, absolutely.
