After the laughter stops, Soni gets serious about his hopes for Garg.
Recently he and Sethi attended a pilot taping for Gargs potential CBS sitcom.
“I remember leaving and being like, ‘This is going to be on TV.’
They would be idiots not to pick it up,” he shares.
“I’m very hopeful she’ll be your next internet TV star.”
