Is this from a real show or is it a comedy sketch ?

The dude is obviously lying and the host seems to get that and doesn't want to be rude, but I'm interested in knowing if this was real or scripted for comedy purposes , his claim of being half irish is hard to believe being a surgeon is believable but unlikely , now him being an astronaut that's just taking it to another level.

Just scrolled down the YT comment section and read this . disregard my original question.

UpBeat is a comedy show. Tom Hayes (the host) is a stand up comedian and an amazing person. Abdulle Walsh is hilarious, of course. He kept a straight face all the way through.

I have seen half white half black and they don't look like they are mixed with white at all. I have also seen a woman who is full black and yet she looked half white and half black.

Now if i was a young Somali journalist , i would put this on the front page headline without even verify the story's origin and title it "Nin Soomali ah oo Astronautka dayax gacmeedka , oo ah marine biologiste iyo diktoore qaliinka ah oo Aabihi Irish yahay" smh.
