Stand-up comedian Hari Kondabolu has a new special coming out next week, and to promote it, he’s united with his old nemesis—Hank Azaria, whose The Simpsons character Apu haunted Kondabolu’s childhood.

In the promo video, Azaria delivers his lines with winking insincerity, promising that Kondabolu’s special, Vacation Baby is “honestly one of the greatest pieces of stand-up that I have ever seen in my life.”
