It’s unclear what exactly went wrong with the Universal Studios attraction, but several cars on the ride stalled out around 10:30pm on Thursday. The Silicon Valley star was stuck with nowhere to go, along with his wife and The Meltdown with Jonah and Kumail producer Emily V. Gordon and television writer Matt Mira, among others. Together, they tracked the ordeal, dubbed #JurassicParked.
