Life and career
Born and raised in Toronto, Canada, Sethi was an ethnic food salesman for his family's food company.[1] While working in the food industry and doing his MBA,[3] Sethi was discovered through his comedy blog[1] which attracted over 2.2 million followers.[2] Actress Alyssa Milano, a reader of Sethi's blog, passed Sethi's writing to writer Ricky Blitt who helped Sethi get a job on Family Guy.[1]
Sethi was heckled by an audience member at a stand-up comedy show in Las Vegas, the crowd member insinuating that Sethi was a terrorist.[5] Sethi was nominated for an Annie Award for his writing in 2021.[6]
