Kumail Nanjiani's parents prefer a masala-covered Thanksgiving turkey, he says

Kumail Nanjiani doesn't understand why Americans eat turkey. His parents, recent immigrants and Thanksgiving enthusiasts, secretly feel the same way, he said. But in a quest to participate in the American tradition, they’ve come to a quintessentially South Asian solution.

“They’re like, ‘We have to put a lot of masala on the turkey because we don’t like how it tastes,’” Nanjiani said to late night host Seth Meyers Tuesday night. “I’m like, ‘You don’t have to eat turkey!’ and they’re like, ‘It’s Thanksgiving!’”

"Late Night with Seth Meyers" and NBC News both fall under the parent company NBC Universal.

Making the talk show rounds for his new Hulu show "Welcome to Chippendales," the Pakistani American actor and comedian ranted about the averageness of the holiday bird.

"Turkey tastes like chicken having a bad day," he said.
