Bill Nye's new correspondent whose stereotype-challenging work you need to see

Bill Nye has a new talk show coming to Netflix called Bill Nye Saves The World, and along with it comes a new team of correspondents.

The team features the likes of Karlie Kloss, Derek Muller and Emily Calandrelli, but it's Australia's Nazeem Hussain you really, really need to familiarise yourself with.

A Melbourne guy of Sri Lankan descent, Hussain's a proud Muslim and having studied science at university, it's a solid bet he'll bring the strong banter to Bill Nye's show.

A fixture of the country's stand up comedy scene for ages and a host of a few television shows, Hussain is acclaimed for challenging stereotypes and mistruths around race and religion with clever social commentary, boundary-pushing public pranks, over-the-top characters and affecting personal stories.

You might've seen him around as his character, Uncle Sam.

Uncle Sam is Hussain's character who presents as a stereotypical Muslim cleric, first appearing on the hilarious TV show Salam Café. Here he is visiting the majority anglo-saxon Melbourne suburb of Frankston, to see what they "know" about Muslims.

Or impersonating Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar.

He's a master of incredible skits on his show, Legally Brown.

But he's also an excellent stand-up comedian too. Both on his own...

And as one half of stand-up duo 'Fear of a Brown Planent' alongside fellow comedian Aamer Rahman.

While Hussain will be saving the world soon with Bill Nye, he was saving taxi drivers first.

Or showing how hard people try not be racist... kinda.

And alongside fellow Australian export, The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng, he's been teaching people how to dance...like a white guy.

In conclusion: Get ready to fall in love with Nazeem Hussain, world. That is, if you weren't already.
