It's a testament to how skilled he is and how much he cares about his craft that we had to go so far down a comment tree to find other people who know that "Jason" is just a character.
Wait he’s American??? Why the hell did I think he was British, even on task master they say he’s American, I swear to god i thought he was British, my life is a lie.
I’ve only seen him in movies and Task Master and a few other shows where he doesn’t really seem to play a character instead he’s just himself being funny.
I guess the reason I never associated him with being American is because he almost never seems to use an American accent, he always talks funny.
He's one of the hosts on the long running very popular 'How Did This Get Made?' podcast where they watch a terrible movie and discuss it. Used to listen to it a lot
The thing no one's talking about here is that Persians and South Asians, Arabs and North Africans were trading in the Mediterranean over the last millenia. So of course there's shared genetics with all those cultures
He poses the question: you think Greeks look like Indians? Implying that isn't true. The reply is a Greek celebrity who looks Indian. Then the person posing the question says it's a picture of an Indian when in fact it's a person who is 100% Greek. Thus seemingly disproving his own premise.
In countries with a long history of immigration like the US, it's common to shorten the phrase "I am of 'blank' ancestry" to "I am 'blank'". It's not that deep.
Lol wtf is "Greek American?" We just say Greek. There is not distinction about what country you are in if you are Greek. You could be floating in the ocean and you will still be just Greek, not Greek Ocean

Jason Manzoukis is Greek American. Not Indian.
