LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Zarna Garg, the host of 'The Zarna Garg Family Podcast', recently made her debut late-night debut on 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon'.

Greeted by cheers and applause, the prolific content creator brought her unique blend of humor and cultural commentary to the stage, sharing anecdotes about her experience of settling in the US as an immigrant.

Opening with a cheerful "Namaste, Tonight Show!" Zarna acknowledged the excitement of being on the renowned late-night show.

She wasted no time delving into her immigrant background, stating, "This may come as a shock to some of you, but I am an immigrant. And when I say that, people often wonder if I have a sad, depressing backstory. And I do."

Her witty tone set the stage for a comedic exploration of the challenges and triumphs of her journey to the country. 

Zarna humorously described the hardships of her immigration, declaring, "It was hard to come here. I flew coach."

Her jesting comment on the complications of everything in America highlighted the cultural adjustments immigrants often face. She jokingly recalled a conversation with her 11-year-old son about pronouns, saying, "I told him, 'You tell them you're Indian. Your pronoun is doctor'."

Zarna Garg jokes about her daughter dating a White boy 

Zarna, who resides in New York City with her husband, Shalabh Garg, and three children, playfully introduced her family dynamics, celebrating her two boys with an enthusiastic "Whoo-hoo!"

However, she couldn't resist cracking a joke about her daughter and said, "One girl. Whatever about her."

Subsequently, she talked about her daughter's therapy sessions, sharing, "That's right, I pay $350 an hour so that the two of them can talk smack about me." 

Zarna swiftly moved on to the topic of her daughter dating a White boy, assuring everyone it was just a phase.

She remarked, "Everybody goes through it. And I've been most supportive," and quipped about being supportive to her so that she doesn't need to pay for "six more sessions."

Zarna Garg recalls watching 'The Bachelor' with her children

Noting that she can be a "little immigranty", Zarna moved on to narrate a funny incident when she asked her children to pick a TV show that they could watch together and they chose 'The Bachelor'.

The cultural clash between her and her American-born children became evident as she humorously described the show's portrayal of relationships, leading to a hilarious conversation with her son predicting her impending divorce due to a lack of public displays of affection.

"And the whole show, this guy is making out, having sex, with each of these different women. And because of this show, my kids think that that's what a relationship is. So, my son says to me, 'Mom, Dad and you are going to get divorced'. I said, 'Why would you say that?' He goes, 'Because I never see you making out'."

Then, Zarna wittily remarked, "I said, 'We don't make out because we're not on TV. You put us on a reality show and pay us, we act out the whole Kama Sutra," as the audience erupted in loud cheers. 

The comedian seamlessly transitioned from family dynamics to cultural observations, noting, "The thing about the Kama Sutra is that it's true Indian people wrote it. But I can promise you no Indian man has ever read it. It's a lot like the Americans and their constitution." 

Zarna Garg shares the proud news of her 17-year-old son surpassing the average height of Indian men

Concluding her set with a heartwarming and amusing story about her 17-year-old son's unexpected growth spurt, Zarna proudly shared the news that he surpassed the average height of Indian men. 

She joked, "My 17-year-old son is now 5'8" and 1/4 inches tall! This is amazing because the average Indian man is 5'5". America made my son taller! Usually, it makes people fatter."

"My husband and I are both short people. We used to pray to God that our sons should be tall, but there is no Hindu god of height. 19,000 Hindu gods, and not one for the thing every Indian person needs. I mean...What good is it having all these extra arms if you can't reach anything anyway?" added Zarna, leaving the audience in stitches.
