Few know the story behind Gurmit Singh, Singapore's beloved comedian and household name from Phua Chu Kang.

Long before the fame and the yellow boots, he was a 13-year-old boy whispering a prayer: "God, I don't want to be a watchman like my father and grandfather. I don't know what else I can do… but please, make a way."

From a childhood of poverty to national stardom, Gurmit's journey is remarkable:

• His mother healed from stage 4 cancer following his audacious prayer
• His crazy conversion
• His journey of not wanting to be a watchman to becoming a national cultural icon

This episode explores the heart behind the humor—the faith, perseverance, and vulnerability that shaped a legendary career. A conversation full of laughter, tears, and hope, showing that behind every joke is a story worth hearing.
