Past simple

- We were in Italy yesterday. We got in last night.

And I grew this mustache and I had this fedora--

I don't know, is this a fedora? - No, I don't think so.

I think it's-- isn't a fedora a bigger rim?

- We'd have to ask Bruno Mars. I don't know.

and I began to act Italian, like even though--

And so speaking English in an Italian accent,

is not the same thing as speaking Italian.

You know, so, someone would refill my water,

And they'd be like, "Prego!" and I'd be "Grazie!"

I kept doing that, and I was annoying myself.

I ate a lot of pasta, and drank a lot of red wine.

you'd get sick of it, but I came home yesterday

she said, "This is a speciality of the restaurant."

She's like, "Look at this bread. What does it look like?"

And I started giggling. [audience laughter]

And I was like, "I don't know, what does it look like to you?"

I have another good breadstick story if you'd like to hear.

- It must be hard for you to go anywhere in the world,

- Oh, thank you, yeah. - What do people say to you?

[in Italian accent] "Big bang! Big bang! Big bang!"

But because they have big hearts, you know.

So I just started doing that back to people.

They were like, "Big bang!" I'm like, "Big bang!"

I started doing that. [audience laughter]

- Let's talk about your book, "Yes, My Accent Is Real."

- I--you know, I was this kid from New Delhi,

who moved to America in '99, and ended up on this show,

to stop doing what their parentse are telling them to do

But still, buy it for your children for Christmas.

No, you know, I had all these crazy stories.

I wrote a lot about my love life in there,

I just wanted to show all my ex-girlfriends

that "Look at me now," you know, like one of those things?

No, no--there's no spite. There's no spite.

- One story--'cause we don't have time for all of them--

but one more story: this was-- you got this show,

and you got it in-- that was your first audition.

you know, I auditioned, like, on a Friday,

You know, I was told I was going to get a job,
