The event has hosted over 50 stand-up comedians from around the world, including big names such as Ansari, Kevin Hart, Pete Davidson and Dave Chappelle. Those comedians have been facing backlash since accepting seemingly lucrative deals to perform in a country that has been criticized for its human rights violations.In an interview on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday night, Kimmel pressed Ansari about his decision to take the stage in Riyadh. “People, a lot of comedians especially, are very upset, because the people who paid the comedians to come to this are not good people,” Kimmel said. “It’s a pretty brutal regime. They’ve done a lot of horrible, horrible things.” The talk show host then asked Ansari why he chose to appear at the event, stating that “people are questioning why you would go over there and take their money to perform in front of these people.”Ansari said he put a lot of thought into the decision, explaining that he consulted his aunt, who used to live in Saudi Arabia.”There’s people over there that don’t agree with the stuff that the government’s doing, and to ascribe like the worst behavior of the government onto those people, that’s not fair,” Ansari said his aunt pointed out. “Just like there’s people in America that don’t agree with the things the government is doing.”Kimmel agreed that “we’re doing horrible things over here,” but pushed back on Ansari’s comparison between the U.S. and Saudi Arabia. “They murdered a journalist,” Kimmel said, referring to Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi, who was killed at the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul in 2018. Kimmel then asked Ansari if he had dealt “with those people specifically.”Ansari replied, “No, I was just there to do a show for the people.” The comedian further explained his thought process, saying his wife told him that “whenever there’s repressive societies like this, they try to keep things out — whether it’s rock ‘n’ roll music or blue jeans — because it makes people curious about outside ideas, outside values.”Ansari, who is Indian American, went on to add that “to me, a comedy festival felt like something that’s pushing things to be more open and to push a dialogue.” He then discussed how his own background compelled him to do the performance.”For me, especially being me and looking the way I do and being from a Muslim background, it felt like something I should be a part of. And I hope it pushes things in a positive direction.”Ansari did not immediately respond to an NBC News request for comment. When speaking to Bloomberg’s Lucas Shaw at the publication’s Screentime event on Wednesday, Kimmel — whose show recently returned to the air after it was briefly suspended by ABC and Disney over the host’s remarks about Charlie Kirk’s assassination — addressed why he pressed Ansari on the matter.“I wouldn’t have gone (to Riyadh), but I wanted to hear his reasons,” said Kimmel, who also noted that Ansari was aware he would ask him about the festival.“Nothing’s black and white,” Kimmel added. “It’s not something I would do, but I do understand the idea that if we close ourselves off to the world … maybe that’s not good. I don’t know that my reasoning is correct reasoning.”He drew a parallel to current U.S. politics. “We see it happening in this country, too,” he said. “We travel abroad, many of us don’t want to be held accountable for what our president does and says.” Kimmel’s skepticism about the Riyadh Comedy Festival comes after many comedians have publicly criticized the event.”WFT” podcast host Marc Maron ripped into the festival in a stand-up clip posted to Instagram on Sept. 23. “I mean, how do you even promote that?” Maron said. “Like, ‘From the folks that brought you 9/11, two weeks of laughter in the desert. Don’t miss it.’”Shane Gillis also condemned the event on his podcast, and said that the festival organizers “doubled the bag” after he declined to perform. Human Rights Watch wrote in a press release published on Sept. 23 that the Saudi government is using the comedy festival “to deflect attention from its brutal repression of free speech and other pervasive human rights violations.”The Saudi Embassy in Washington, D.C., and Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority, which announced the festival in July, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.Kate ReillyKate Reilly is a news associate with NBC News.Saba HamedySaba Hamedy is the trends and culture editor for NBC News.

Nov. 28, 2025, 6:10 AM ESTBy Patrick SmithPresident Donald Trump has said he will “permanently pause” all immigration from what he called “third world countries” and demanded a program of “reverse migration” as he intensified his rhetoric after the National Guard shooting in Washington, D.C.Trump offered few details as he disparaged and vowed to remove millions of migrants in the U.S., in a lengthy social media post late on Thanksgiving that came hours after he confirmed the death of National Guard troop Sarah Beckstrom, 20, in the shooting.Officials have said that Wednesday’s attack on two troops was carried out by an Afghan national who worked with a CIA-backed group during the long war in Afghanistan. The incident has served as a catalyst for Trump to escalate his anti-immigrant rhetoric into pledges that would likely face court challenges if enacted and further undermine America’s global standing as a nation welcoming to immigrants.”I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries to allow the U.S. system to fully recover, terminate all of the millions of Biden illegal admissions, including those signed by Sleepy Joe Biden’s Autopen, and remove anyone who is not a net asset to the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.It was not clear exactly which countries he was referring to, with the phrasing used in the past to refer to poorer nations.New details after targeted National Guard shooting02:43The president also threatened to “end all federal benefits and subsidies to noncitizens of our country” and to “denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic security.”In remarks that will cause alarm among migrant advocacy and civil liberties groups, Trump said the government would deport any foreign national who was “non-compatible with Western Civilization.”He added: “Only REVERSE MIGRATION can fully cure this situation.”The Trump administration also said Thursday that the government would reexamine the status of Green Card holders from 19 countries “of concern,” including Afghanistan. In a subsequent post, Trump said that “hundreds of thousands” of Somali migrants were “completely taking over the once great state of Minnesota.”Trump has previously threatened action against Somalis and last week said he would end temporary protective status — which prevents deportations to dangerous countries — for Somali migrants in Minnesota, many of whom have fled a brutal civil war in the east African country.It’s unclear how many people this would effect but a report made for Congress in August put the number of people covered by the program nationally at 705. The president also attacked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walk as “retarded” and said Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn, who was born in Somalia, “probably came into the U.S.A. illegally” and is from a “decadent, backward, and crime ridden nation.”Trump’s threats, if enacted by legislation or executive orders, are likely to be challenged in the courts.In his first term, Trump banned people from several majority-Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa from entering the U.S. This was challenged but eventually the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in favor of the ban’s legality. Migrant advocacy groups have called for calm and warned against using the D.C. attack to call for a wider crackdown on immigration or to remove the rights of Afghan residents.”Using this horrific attack as an excuse to smear and punish every Afghan, every refugee, or every immigrant rips at something very basic in our Constitution and many faiths: the idea that guilt is personal, not inherited or collective,” the Council on American-Islamic Relations said in a statement early Friday.The term “third world” originated in the Cold War era to describe a country that wasn’t aligned with the western NATO alliance or the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. This later evolved into shorthand for describing economically underdeveloped nations, particularly ones with high levels of poverty.The term has been used to describe several African nations, but until the late 20th century was also attached to descriptions of China.Economists and health experts have for years said the phrase is inaccurate, derogatory and outdated. The World Bank and other global institutions no longer use the phrase and some have suggested also avoiding its successor, “developing countries.”Patrick SmithPatrick Smith is a London-based editor and reporter for NBC News Digital.

Oct. 25, 2025, 11:06 AM EDTBy Freddie ClaytonWhen Napoleon marched into Russia in 1812, he brought with him the largest army Europe had ever seen. When he limped back out, he’d met his match — not in muskets or cannon fire, but in microbes.Researchers who analyzed DNA from the teeth of soldiers who died during the retreat from Moscow say they have identified two diseases that devastated the emperor’s vaunted Grande Armée.Ever since 1812, “people have thought that typhus was the most prevalent disease in the army,” said Nicolás Rascovan, the head of the microbial paleogenomics unit at the Institut Pasteur and an author of the study, published in the journal Current Biology.Using a technique called shotgun sequencing, Rascovan and his team were able to analyze ancient DNA from the dental remains of 13 soldiers found near Vilnius, Lithuania, and identify two “previously undocumented pathogens.”“We confirmed the presence of Salmonella enterica belonging to the Paratyphi C lineage,” he told NBC News, referring to the bacteria responsible for paratyphoid fever, as well as “Borrelia recurrentis, the bacteria responsible for relapsing fever,” which causes episodes of fever.These diseases would have thrived where people “were under very poor sanitary conditions or hygiene,” he added.The findings fit with historical descriptions of the symptoms experienced by soldiers in Napoleon’s army, such as fever and diarrhea, the researchers said in the study.A “reasonable scenario” for the deaths would be a “combination of fatigue, cold, and several diseases, including paratyphoid fever and louse-borne relapsing fever,” they wrote.“While not necessarily fatal, the louse-borne relapsing fever could significantly weaken an already exhausted individual,” they added.Unlike a 2006 study that found traces of the bacteria that cause typhus or trench fever in four individuals among a group of 35, the team found no traces of those diseases.But Rascovan said that while the earlier study was limited by the technology of the time, its results remained valid and, coupled with the new findings, gave a better picture of the conditions that laid waste to Napoleon’s army.“Finding four different pathogens in such a number of individuals, it really shows that there were a high prevalence of infectious diseases of all kinds,” he said.By the time Napoleon’s troops had retreated, an estimated 300,000 men had died. Even an emperor, it seems, can’t outmarch a microbe.Freddie ClaytonFreddie Clayton is a freelance journalist based in London.

Nov. 18, 2025, 5:00 AM ESTBy Keir SimmonsDUBAI, United Arab Emirates — It will work like any other ride-hailing app except that instead of a car, a battery-powered aircraft will swoop in and fly you. Set to launch in Dubai next year, the American company Joby Aviation, Inc. has been developing the technology at Edwards Air Force Base in Texas as well as in the United Arab Emirates, where earlier this month it became the first electric air taxi company to complete a flight in the Middle Eastern country. “It’s an absolutely awesome aircraft to fly,” test pilot Peter Wilson told NBC News on Sunday. “The flight is smooth, the handling qualities are exceptional.” Wilson, who has previously test-flown F-35 fighter jets, said the simple controls on the air taxi are “super safe” as they ensure the pilot has a “low workload while still being able to do all the things they want to do.”
