Following the screening of “My Struggle,” NYCC is set to host a Q&A with star David Duchovny and The X-Files creator Chris Carter. The panel will be moderated by X-Files superfan Kumail Nanjiani, a comedian who stars on HBO's Silicon Valley. Nanjiani hosts an excellent podcast called The X-Files Files where he discusses nearly every episode of the long-running series with a variety of guests and fellow fans. Due to the podcast's growing popularity and some connections in the industry, Nanjiani was invited to play a part in an episode of the show's new, upcoming season. What a dream, right?
The premiere episode screening and panel are set to take place on Saturday, October 10 at the Javits Center in Manhattan.
