Fathi’s basketball-adjacent connection

Fathi finds out that the man lives in Vantaa (which borders Helsinki), and so names the Vantaa-based stand-up comedian Ali Jahangiri (the guest contestant in episode 10 of this season), but the man does not know him. Through a line of questioning which is not included in the edit, Fathi then learns that the man is involved in sports – specifically basketball. Fathi replies that he does not know much about basketball, he does know that the popular stand-up comedian Sami Hedberg loves basketball. He asks if the man happens to know Sami Hedberg, and the man replies that he does. Fathi takes 1 minute and 9 seconds to identify a mutual acquaintance, and earns first place.
