    Comedian Nazeem Hussain mistaken for The Project’s Waleed Aly – and it’s the THIRD TIME it’s happened

    Nazeem Hussain was been mistaken for Waleed Aly for the third time. 

    The comedian Tweeted a screenshot of the Binge TV guide on Saturday, in which The Project star was listed as the the co-host of the upcoming TV show, Australia Talks. 

    It is Nazeem, 36, not Waleed, 42, who will host the ABC special alongside co-host Annabel Crabb, 48.

    Waleed co-hosted the 2019 edition of Australia Talks alongside Annabel Crabb, which may have contributed to the error.  

    It’s at least the third time a similar mistake involving the two stars has been made.

    In 2014, The Age has incorrectly printed a photo of the Legally Brown comedy star in its entertainment column with the caption: ‘Waleed Aly joins The Project’.

    The awkward mix up was spotted by the stand-up comedian, of Sri Lankan descent, who lightheartedly Tweeted: ‘Well, we are kinda the same person…’

    In 2015, TV Week shared a photo to Facebook, showing Nazeem at the Logies, which they captioned as being an image of ‘Waleed Aly.’

    Nazeem told the Courier Mail in 2019 that he finds the comparison to Waleed flattering.   

    ‘There’s nothing embarrassing about being mistaken for one of the smartest and insightful people on the planet,’ he said. 

    ‘The excitement you see in peoples’ eyes when they believe they’re speaking to Waleed.’ 

    Australia Talks premieres Monday 21 June at 8.00pm on ABC TV and iview.
