Zarna Garg's journey from stay-at-home mom to comedy sensation is now a CBS series, capturing her unique humor and inspiring story
Zarna Garg is set to take her unique brand of humor to CBS with her very own show, Zarna. The multi-camera comedy series will chronicle Garg’s inspiring journey, highlighting her path from a stay-at-home mom to a breakout star in the stand-up comedy world.
Garg’s story is nothing short of remarkable. After immigrating to the United States and completing her education, she dedicated 16 years to raising her children before deciding to pursue her passion for comedy. The series promises to capture this transformation, showcasing the humor and challenges of an immigrant mother navigating American culture, something Garg has masterfully portrayed in her social media content.
The show is being produced by an impressive lineup, with Darlene Hunt, Mindy Kaling’s Kaling International, Kevin Hart’s Hartbeat, and Warner Bros. Television all on board. It’s a fitting team to bring Garg’s story to life, considering how she first rose to fame—on TikTok and Instagram, where her comedic sketches about immigrant mothers struck a chord with audiences worldwide.
Her big break came in 2021 when she won *Lyft Comics*, a comedy reality show produced by Kevin Hart, where up-and-coming comedians delivered jokes while disguised as Lyft drivers. This victory catapulted Garg into the spotlight, establishing her as a force to be reckoned with in the comedy scene.
Since then, Garg has only continued to rise. Last year, she released her debut stand-up special, *One In A Billion*, on Amazon Prime Video, solidifying her place as a standout voice in the industry. She also toured with comedy legends Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on their Restless Leg tour, a testament to her growing influence and appeal.
Garg’s accomplishments don’t end there. She was featured in Apple TV’s Gutsy, alongside Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, showcasing her versatility and broad appeal. Her screenplay, Rearranged, won the Best Comedy Prize at the Austin Film Festival, and she was honored with the 2021 Ladies of Laughter Award.
With Zarna, CBS viewers will look closely at the woman behind the jokes. Garg’s humor, rooted in her experiences as an immigrant and a mother, resonates with many who see themselves reflected in her stories. As she transitions from social media sensation to television star, it’s clear that Zarna Garg’s comedy career is just getting started. This new show is poised to be a hit, offering laughter and heart in equal measure, much like the comedian herself.
