Background

The United States government called in three top Hollywood directors, Mel Gibson, Michael Bay, and M. Night Shyamalan to give ideas on how to defeat the terrorists.

Appearance

He is of Indian descent and has tan skin and black hair. He appears in a white shirt and wears a wristwatch.

  • M. Night Shyamalan: "But what if Al-Qaeda, it turns out, is the group being terrorized? By aliens?" from "Imaginationland"
  • M. Night Shyamalan: "How about we make everyone think that terrorists attacked us? But really, we were all already dead." from "Imaginationland"

Trivia

Two of his other films, Signs and The Village, are also mentioned by name in the episode.
