Aasif Mandvi finally hits his marks in this piece about the political theater over Richard Gere kissing Shilpa Shetty:

Mandvi: By morning the police had managed to disperse the crowd, not with tear gas but by showing the rioters Autumn in New York on a continuous loop. People’s eyes are still burning today…

Stewart: How do you even get a Richard Gere effigy?

Mandvi: Well, you take a Josh Hartnett effigy and age it 30 years. [sitar rimshot]

But the call center joke has been done, and done, and done.
