The show follows an American running a call center in Mumbai, and has been accused of stereotyping the Indian characters. Kwapis discusses these accusations and the nature of provocative comedies. He also talks about directing the pilot episodes of The Bernie Mac Show, The Larry Sanders Show and American version of The Office, and on working with show-runners and talent to create the tone and template for these beloved shows.
