Hey, when your competition is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, it's not all that tough to secure Iranian of the Day honors, right? The only way Nasim Pedrad wasn't going to grab the honor on the eve of her first SNL appearance was if someone discovered that she had built a secret nuke facility in her apartment in Irvine, CA.In any case, Iranian.com was definitely rooting for Pedrad and was rightfully proud of her. Here's an excerpt from their comments:
The late-night American comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live wasn’t joking when it signed on an Iran-born female cast member today. The show, which has cultivated such talents as Bill Murray, Mike Meyers, and Tina Fey, has hosted a rotating cast of hundreds. But an Iranian-born woman is a first! Born in Tehran, Nasim Pedrad graduated from UCLA and made her name with a one-woman show, “Me, Myself & Iran” (a riff on the less-than-stellar Me, Myself & Irene), which was featured in an HBO Comedy Festival.
