Zarna Garg: 我非常喜欢在网上免费学习各种技能。我的喜剧事业实际上是从我在谷歌上搜索“什么是笑话”开始的。当时我参加了一个开放麦，但因为我只是在吐槽我的婆婆，组织者告诉我我没有真正的笑话。这促使我回家并开始研究笑话的结构。现在，每当我有空闲时间，我都会在网上查找各种随机的东西并学习它们。也许不久之后，我就可以学会开飞机了！ Virginia Santos: 笑话的本质在于它的结构：一个前提，然后是一个笑点。笑点通过误导或创造一个令人惊讶的结局来实现。这种结构实际上非常技术性，可能只有工程师才能真正欣赏。

Shownotes Transcript

Zarna Garg is a force of nature with a microphone. The award-winning comedian, author, producer and screenwriter brought her sharp, relatable family humor to her first streaming special, “One in a Billion.” When Zarna’s not at the Comedy Cellar opening for icons like Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler or appearing on The Tonight Show and Late Night, she’s selling out headlining shows worldwide. Zarna made her acting debut in New York Times Critics pick “A Nice Indian Boy.” She also has a podcast, “The Zarna Garg Family Podcast,” that explores modern life with her husband and kids. She joins Google to discuss her book, “This American Woman: A One-In-A-Billion Memoir.” The memoir tells the story of her treacherous climb from a homeless teen in Mumbai to an unhinged stay-at-home mom in New York, and then to an internationally beloved stand-up comedian. It’s an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumph beyond what you dreamed was possible.
