Kumail Nanjiani makes a deal with the devil to achieve stand-up dreams in first episode of Jordan Peele's "The Twilight Zone"

The more promos we watch of Jordan Peele's re-imagining of the iconic series, The Twilight Zone, the more pumped we are for to see it. Peele seems to have nailed the tone of the show as he and other celebs re-imagine classic eps of the tv series. Things kick off next Tuesday on CBS All Access with two new episodes. The first of which is "The Comedian" where Kumail Nanjiani portrays a stand-up comic working his way to the top, along the way he makes a deal with the devil portrayed by Tracy Morgan to attain that goal. Then, as all deals with the devil go, things aren't quite as cut-and-dry as one would imagine. Then, as if that wasn't enough to make you want to watch the show, Adam Scott stars in the re-imagining of one of the most memorable episodes ever, "Nightmare at 30,000 Feet" which originally was at 20,000 feet and starred William Shatner as a paranoid airline passenger travelling on a plane after previously suffering a nervous breakdown. Both episodes premiere on April 1st on CBS All Access.
