Issa Rae is proud of Kumail Nanjiani. During her virtual visit to Late Night with Seth Meyers on Tuesday, the Insecure star recalled witnessing the early stages of her The Lovebirds' co-star's shocking fitness transformation, admitting that she's "extremely jealous" of his new physique.

Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae are a quarreling couple out to solve a murder, but the first movie directed by Michael Showalter since "The Big Sick" is a crime comedy that aims lower than it thinks.
