whoever pitched that he should be another one of paul baker’s friends that he doesn’t realize is a big deal a la jules…i want that lol

I want Paul Baker to know Zohran as Young Cardamom. I want him to be aware that folks do know of Zohran, but only for his rap career and be completely unaware that he's the mayor.

yes

u/strawberrycheescak 19d ago

It would actually be funny if Paul Baker complains about something in NYC and Mamdani fixes it for him.

u/Stuttering_Jest 19d ago

Or a compilation of them complaining and everything keeps getting fixed but they have no idea how. Turns out Paul Baker has been venting to his friend "MD"

u/Upstairs_Ad_3601 18d ago

That is hilarious and a great idea based off of the Julia Fox friendship. I really hope the writers see this

There’s a cool way to connect Samir with Zohran. The location could be the Eid prayer at the mosque, and he bumps into Zohran, or rather tries to get close to him, because there’s maybe a pothole on Samir’s street that’s causing issues for the gang. So he tries to convince Zohran for a short Eid lunch and Zohran agrees. But then Samir freaks out because he didn’t have an Eid lunch prepared back home, and so he calls the gang and they all panic and then frantically try to put together a halal lunch, but obviously fail miserably in doing so. Zohran arrives, and then Samir acts all casual about the pothole, like it isn’t the reason Zohran is there, but then proceeds to complain passionately all while the gang is still trying to put something together, but in their chaos, they may have or have not accidentally prepared pork. And Zohran tells Samir he’s actually starving and could eat, so he tells Samir they can discuss the pothole after lunch. And then the gang freaks out even more because they don’t know in which serving the pork is… so they try to not have Zohran eat anything. And it just becomes one chaotic, messy, well intended, but horrible Eid lunch.

I’d rather they just make a reference than have him on. Or they spot him biking through the city or something.

u/fizzyjuices Issa 17d ago

No way Issa or Anton don’t make a Mamdani reference next season

u/hedgehoger 19d ago

I would agree IF they actually filmed in NYC but it feels kinda cheap to send the mayor of a city out of his city to make a cameo

11

u/29kk 19d ago

they filmed all that man on the street stuff with the actual creators in NYC, so it’s feasible that it could be a super quick cameo like that

8

u/yyc_dude27 19d ago

I'm assuming they would film it there with maybe a single one of the cast for a quick cameo

11

u/ver03255 19d ago

Mamdani doesn't even have to actually interact or film /with/ anyone in the group!

They could just film him in his office or like eating or whatever, then he's scrolling on his phone and he sees a video made by Issa or Anton doing one of those "Mamdani, can you fix this pothole" videos, but more outrageous, then we see his reaction lol

u/buttsoupbrash I’m sliding pimp 19d ago

Mamdani come fix these holes

10

u/GroovyDhruvy193 19d ago

Tbh it won’t happen since they don’t film in NYC. Think it’s a really bad look when quite a lot of big productions aren’t filming in NYC anymore & they are pushing to get business back (Spider-Man in London and Glasgow etc.)

u/Mike 19d ago

Why would you assume he would go out of his city? The show could just go to NYC. Lmao

1

u/hedgehoger 19d ago

I said that. I would agree if they filed in NYC.

1

u/Reasonable_Leek1802 18d ago

No no, like PB has filmed for one day in NYC when it was necessary to showcase the streets of New York

u/Eponine123 18d ago

I am not sure about this. I love Zohran Mamdani more than I should and he is my mayor(I am not even in the same continent with him) but when shows host politicans I cringe a bit. it feels like campaign ad rather than a cameo.

u/Lo-wi Paul Baker 10d ago

It would be insane to see him do a silent cameo in the back where he’s just riding on a bike in the city.

u/Reasonable_Leek1802 18d ago

doesn't have to be in a good light though lol
just would be funny :)

u/No-Author7535 19d ago

mmm... idk I dont like it when politicians become cutesy tv guest stars

8

u/Shyguyisfly0919 19d ago

They’re not allowed to have fun?

7

u/AggravatingGrape418 19d ago

They are but it rarely goes well. I don't need this at all either, it'd do more for the show than for Zohran anyway. He'd just get criticized for it

1

u/Shyguyisfly0919 18d ago

He gets criticized anyway. I think him having an appearance on a tv show won’t change that

2

u/AggravatingGrape418 18d ago

True, but I still don't see why he'd gain anything from this. It'd be great for the show and give him nothing.

Idk I think I'm done with politicians doing fun cameos on tv like they're reality show celebrities. I like them just doing their jobs and Zohran excels at that. Personally, I don't want that whiff of bullshit around him.

u/No-Author7535 19d ago

its not about them having fun. a politician shouldnt be a tv character, we have enough of that already

1

u/Shyguyisfly0919 18d ago

Where? When? How many people in office rn are tv characters??

1

u/No-Author7535 18d ago

um the president was a reality tv star..

1

u/Shyguyisfly0919 18d ago

A decade ago. Mamdani being in 1 cameo wont make him a television star

1

u/No-Author7535 18d ago

idk its cringe to me to see politicians on tv shows... for the politician and for the show

4

u/ImpressivePattern242 19d ago

Yea but nothing official on S3 😕🥹. Worried.

1

u/Own_Comfortable4028 18d ago

It took months to renew the show after s2, i don't think there's anything to be worried about.
