Wrong Turns with Jameela Jamil27 Nov 2025

Aparna Nancherla and Eliza Skinner

Comedy powerhouses, Aparna Nancherla (BoJack Horseman, Corporate, Mythic Quest) and Eliza Skinner (The Late Late Show with James Corden, Drop the Mic, and Earth to Ned), join Jameela for a perfect storm of humiliation, soft chaos, and stories that instantly make you feel better about your own life choices.

Aparna kicks things off with a micro humiliation involving an aggressively friendly date, a forced smile, and the kind of social panic only she could navigate with total deadpan grace. Later, she unpacks a Big Wrong Turn that somehow manages to include a disappearing audience, a disappearing sense of self, and a disappearing will to continue. We’ve all been there.

Eliza brings her own signature spiral, including the world’s worst party choice, a Disney meltdown, and one of the most impressively committed social misreads we’ve heard on this show. Together, she and Aparna form a tag-team of comedic self-exposure that warms the soul and singes the eyebrows.

Plus, Jameela reads a Misery Loves Company submission that proves sometimes the only way out is to laugh harder than you want to cry.

Come for the comedy, stay for the solidarity. If you’ve ever said “I'm really honest, I just like to tell it how it is,” then listen to hear why we're swiping left on you.

Aparna Nancherla has her very first hour-long standup comedy special, HOPEFUL POTATO, premiering December 15th on streaming service Dropout as part of its “Dropout Presents” series. It's directed by Eliza Skinner.

Jameela's Substack is A Low Desire To Please, you can also find her on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.

Our consulting producer is Colin Anderson.

Wrong Turns was created and produced by Jameela Jamil and Stewart Bailey.
