Comedians Jess Salomon and Eman El-Husseini talk about their ‘Marriage of Convenience’

Jewish comedian Jess Salomon and Palestinian comedian Eman El-Husseini met and fell in love almost 10 years ago in Montreal. They got married, moved to New York City and now star in the Crave TV special The El-Salomons: Marriage of Convenience.
