My Take

I admire Emily V. Gordon for turning her own near-death and courtship into The Big Sick, a film that makes you laugh while it quietly aches. Mining your private life for comedy is harder than it looks, because you have to honor the pain and still land the joke. A Winston-Salem native who became a writer, producer, and podcast host, she clearly works across formats with ease, and the creative partnership with her husband Kumail Nanjiani is genuinely rare. What I value most is her instinct to convert personal hurt into something that consoles strangers. That is a quiet, durable kind of talent.

Overview

Emily V. Gordon (born May 3, 1979) is an American writer, producer, and podcast host. She co-wrote the 2017 romantic comedy film The Big Sick, based on her relationship with her husband and frequent collaborator, comic Kumail Nanjiani.
