Kristen Kish, Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio Praise Padma Lakshmi

During the After Show, a virtual fan asks Top Chef’s Kristen Kish, Gail Simmons and Tom Colicchio what their reactions were when they found out Padma Lakshmi would be pursuing a career in comedy. Gail says she’s incredibly impressed because stand-up comedy is vulnerable and challenging. Kristen says Padma has always thrown super smart and funny one-liners that catch people off guard and Tom says everyone calls her Champagne Padma because she gets even more funny after a glass of bubbly.
