What's better than another episode of Conan O'Brien's "Clueless Gamer" segment? Having a hilarious guest who also happens to be in the game, as well.

This time, he had The Big Sick's Kumail Nanjiani as co-pilot while they explored the upcoming Xbox game Middle-earth: Shadow of War.

It's all good fun ripping on the characters until Nanjiani reveals, cringing, that he voiced "Dugz the Agonizer," one of the enemy orcs that they were about to face.

Nanjiani was right to cringe. Because once Dugz shows up on screen and speaks, it sounds exactly like Nanjiani himself — not at all like an orc.

"You didn't change your voice at all! Did you do that over the phone? What the hell was that!" yells O'Brien, before delivering the final stinger: "He should be called Kumail the Nanjiani."

Check it out. It really does sound exactly like Nanjiani, and not like a violent, mythical orc in the slightest.
