SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma is a fast‑paced, street‑style talk show originating on New York City’s subway system.
Hosted by stand-up comedian and media personality Kareem Rahma, the show features him approaching everyday commuters—and often celebrities—with a vintage double-breasted suit, clipped MetroCard mic in hand, and the signature opener:
“So, what’s your take?”
Guests offer bold, unconventional opinions (“takes”) which they then defend as Rahma, dressed in his oversized suit, sometimes wholeheartedly agrees or completely disagrees.
Kareem Rahma: Kareem Rahma is a three-time Webby-nominated writer, producer, comedian and musician.

Kareem’s band TINY GUN continues to perform all over New York’s most iconic venues including Baby’s All Right and The Knitting Factory.
This week, comedian Jordan Jensen (The Tonight Show, Are You Garbage?) boards the subway with a fiery take that nobody is actually religious. She thinks if people truly believed in hell, they’d never stop talking about it. Jordan breaks down why modern faith feels more like a lifestyle choice than a conviction, and why religion without urgency doesn’t make sense.
Jordan Jensen: Jordan Jensen started comedy in upstate NY before moving to Nashville TN, where she spent a year working for clubs and taking her comedy on the road in her pickup truck. Jordan now co-hosts the podcast “Bein’ Ian with Jordan” with comedian Ian Fidance and her first half hour special, presented by GaS Digital Media, is available on her YouTube channel. Most recently, Jordan was featured on Vulture’s “The Comedians You Should and Will Know in 2023”. Jordan’s stand-up has been featured on “The Late Late Show with James Corden”, “Comedy Central Features” and “Don’t Tell Comedy”. In 2021, Jordan was named the first female comic to win “NY’s Funniest Stand Up” at the NY Comedy Festival. She now lives in Brooklyn NY and is a regular at the renowned Comedy Cellar. Her comedy consists of tales of her bizarre upbringing, highly unconventional family, and filterless confessions of her time on this filthy planet.
