Just Another Immigrant

The Greek

With the Greek show just two weeks away and ticket sales still woefully lagging, Romesh is open to any and all ideas that could help sell out the show -- even his uncle and mother's bizarre publicity stunts.

The Final Push

Romesh tries to convince Leesa and the kids not to go back to the UK by enlisting her help with his career; Leesa pushes Romesh to reach out to his friend James Corden, host of "The Late Late Show," to help him get his big TV break.

The Corden Favor

When footage from the TV series is shown to a focus group, the feedback is difficult for Romesh to swallow; despite claiming it has no impact, Romesh starts treating his family very differently.
