[@BreezyZaira]

Apart from being obviously handsome. He's very smart, inquisitive and funny. Not to mention his skin, beautiful.

[@chelseahandler]

Yes, yes, yes and yes. Winona, you are on point.

[@hamadomar1575]

Chels

[@maddythinks]

He looks like a whole bunch of normal Indian dudes :P

[@johntermine5469]

Exactly Maddy

[@defencebangladesh4068]

Yep, indian dudes.

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

How the fuck has it even taken this long for someone to sit calmly and explain to the world what Fake news actually is?!

[@michelleanderson1792]

YepItsThatGuy Like you, I thought after all this time ppl had ALREADY figured this out. I think this was specifically for Trump sycophants! It's NOT rocket science but glad someone finally DID considering what we have to work with!

[@joermundgand]

Fake news is propaganda, old as time, you got three kinds of propaganda. 1. Outright lies(Trump and Hillary are pretty good at this). 2. Lies by omission(The New York Times story about the Patriots). 3. Fiction for public consumption(based on a real story, this little human being in country XYZ will die etc...)

[@vamanosninja4143]

Well you couldn't comment on it calmly. ;)

[@yepitsthatguy5278]

Loll true xD

[@Knifymoloko]

Homecoming King is the most innovative stand up special I've ever seen.

[@GlitzPixie]

Knifymoloko he did do an outstanding job

[@thebaconpig8680]

It was an emotional rollercoaster. I have never seen stand-up like it before.

[@emmabennet888]

The WHCD really took the cake for me. But Homecoming King was really powerful. I'm from his hometown and I remember reading his story (about racism at school and the whole prom thing) in the newspaper a year or two ago....not sure whether to be more proud or ashamed to be from Davis...

[@MariahiDontCarey]

So true, a plus for me is he grew up we’re I grew up as well so I connected more with him

[@rachelshuxin]

Ikr. I watched it and he was BRILLIANT.

[@mustardseed308]

Hasan Minhaj is outstanding.

[@GlitzPixie]

Mustard Seed Since I saw one of his segments on the daily show I've been rooting for him so hard dude and he's killing it

[@Elena_marie]

He has to be one of the smartest comedian's I've ever seen. His special is brilliant; it really is storytelling and taking you through a whole new perspective. And for him to come on here, he totally had a conversation with Chelsea rather than her dominating the whole discussion like she usually does. Genius man

[@__sababakhair]

So happy for Hasan- he's killing it! :)

[@Yesu44]

As long as he's not *BOMBING* it, good for him 😅😂.

[@River-cm9tz]

Jack Davidoff not funny

[@rax816]

Jack Davidoff explain

[@__sababakhair]

Cause he's brown? hilarious.

[@Yesu44]

*RACE* has *NOTHING* to do with it 😠😡😠😡. *STOP* trying to make a *BIG deal* out of nothing 😡😡. If you're *NOT* a comedian then you'll not *UNDERSTAND* what I *SAID.* If you have to *EXPLAIN* a joke, then its *_no longer_* a joke. *GOOGLE* it if you don't get it.

[@chemicalclack]

Hasan is awesome!!!!

[@genisug22]

of course he is

[@Walkingzombi]

.... Incoming Dumb pro-Trump troll comment

[@apolloscrow3686]

Saw him live, he does a great show, hilarious and thoughtful.

[@Oldaccount-wx2lg]

He's so cuteeeeeee is he Indian American???

[@chemicalclack]

Roshan Khan yep he is

[@retired5249]

Hassan is a good kid...funny and smart!

[@kainat5390]

I would highly recommend people to watch his comedy special on Netflix, it's outstanding!

[@krishna7404]

Hasan Minhaj is making very sensible arguments here.

[@starlite7746]

how I wish more indians kept it real like him. I love this guy because he does not suck up to white people neither is he intimidated by them like so many indians. Good on him for keeping his pride and self respect intact.

[@dreamareality8]

He is an Indian-American Muslim

[@jones786]

Lol. Is that supposed to be ironic?

[@kavivaidya4467]

Man check the stats……nearly 15 percent of India is Muslim.

[@ritishdey6425]

nomadic hunter indian is ethnicity islam is a religion... btw was it a sarcastic comment ?

[@edwardkumarkenway1875]

@@japheth6176 dude read some history..you know old fashioned way from books

[@aqsarafiq6308]

This guy did what no one else could!

[@shalarawr]

Always thought Hasan is super handsome... and has good hair.

[@IceColdProfessional]

The world is ready for Hasan. He will be Trevor Noah's first break-out star. I'm thinking his own tv show but he could definitely go the movie route.

[@KaramAbdallah_]

Tv show

[@sina1997]

Annnddd he's got Patriot Act which is amazinggg

[@davidhurtado2725]

He was casted by Jon Stewart and was a part of the show before Trevor was even an option.

[@csgollum]

Wow! Just saw this comment. He's done both now. I wonder if you do horoscopes! :))

[@NoNewfriendss]

I could see him playing frazzled, drank too much coffee, guy on a movie haha.

[@meawblackcatmeaw]

Mate, you maybe Indian.. but Pakistan Loves you too

[@salu190]

wtf?, "u may be indian but pakistan loves u"?, right there u showed how small minded u are!

[@thesaviour6325]

salina naidu As usual dumb they are😂

[@junior29557]

How is being Indian such a big barrier to your admiration of Hasan that it took u mentionable effort to overlook it? Btw Hasan is awesome. Agreed.

[@daylinknight793]

You guys do realize that India and Pakistan don’t exactly have a great relationship and people in those respective countries are often raised hearing disparaging things about the other? What they did was show that the people in these countries are moving beyond the government endorsed hate or distrust...

[@blueberrycupcake6999]

agreed

[@bngltinkerbell]

He's actually pretty smart.

[@thekanone6694]

Lmao when you say "actually" it ensues that you intitially thought he wasn't amrt (; Yeah he's always been smart hahaha

[@shakir4969]

it is because he knows what he is talking about. he is a political science graduate

[@bngltinkerbell]

Yeah I was surprised since he's been on the Daily Show for a bit but we never saw this side of him. We get to hear more from him now since he hosted the WHCD and now he has been given the platform to say what he thinks. I don't think he has that freedom in his show. He's pretty insightful. It's rare to find comedians who are both funny and smart. That's why Chappell and Stewart stand out. His career is just blossoming but I wish him all the best. Hope he gets his own show.

[@thescarypart]

TheChiller007 Based on what?

[@ascent8487]

Comedians are usually somewhat intelligent. They are observationists and comentators. One must have a modicum of intellect to intelligently observe and comment on society.

[@Kupacolypse]

Without a doubt the best comedic performance at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

[@emantabrizi]

Nah, Seth Myers and Craig Ferguson were better.

[@leenaahmed9418]

Well they didn't get a standing ovation did they ;)

[@rafa9323]

CookieMonster he's good because he's not white ..that's the PC world we are living

[@chokinonashes6176]

I love Hasan Minahaj, watching him on the daily show is the best, his interview with Justin Trudeau, and the Syrian refugees in Canada is hilarious and very clever. I am happy for the success that Chelsea is having world wide it's sad that much of the US is still so sexist think in Europe we would have understood her humour and her kindness. I think it is funny that so many men write horrible comments about her: she is making them insecure and threatened. I bet they hate that she is very attractive but they fantasize about her secretly! It is just like the closeted gay people who attack other gay folks so much, they hate themselves. It's been a tactic forever.

[@chokinonashes6176]

shivanshi asthana Me too!! I love the Daily Show and the correspondents are not only fantastically​ funny but make a difference with their comedy. Jessica Williams is hilarious, I loved her piece on Whitesville. Is that what it's called?!! I can't remember, but the town in New York state that is White something, it has a racist sign for the town depicting a Native American in a struggle with a white dude. They actually did change it after the exposure on the Daily Show. I miss Jon Stewart but think Trevor Noah is a great replacement, change is always hard but embracing it is easier than resisting the inevitable. I am a little drunk so apologies for not making sense, it's'15.00 in the UK so I didn't have it for breakfast!! Comedy is such a great way to survive tragedies and we need it now more than ever. 😔😔😁😁

[@joermundgand]

Speaking as one of the Europeans in question and I can only speak for myself, drunken coked up barely coherent individuals is not my thing.

[@chokinonashes6176]

shivanshi asthana Thank you! Love from Cornwall, UK

[@samiya1196]

That red pill/blue pill analogy to explain the bubble we live in, in this modern world was perfect!!

[@wendir5152]

Love you Hasan!!!

[@zora99ny]

Hasan is cute. Never knew much about him till I saw him at the WHCD but he was hilarious! Sharp, funny and smart.

[@stefanniacamero7945]

Hasannnnnnnnnnn is the BEST!!!!! I went to his show and watched it 3 times on Netflix 🙏🏽 best performance 💋

[@juantrillions]

I love him 😍😍😍

[@ceciliamanalo2619]

I like how he said thank you like a little boy...so cute!

[@granmisticoful]

his sister Nicki must be really proud of him

[@bluelake6784]

Hasan should host the daily show...he is damn funny.

[@bluelake6784]

he is more gutsy....and Funny.

[@ariadnehinzen5361]

Trevor noah is so good tho

[@shree3516]

Hasan is awesome but trevor noah is killing the game!

[@robinq1647]

I love this guy!

[@kaitlinj1698]

So well said. He does a much better job of explaining this than my several attempts to explain "fake news" to any republican I know. Damn Bethany Reed, messing up my chances as a white girl to marry him:( lol. (This reference will make sense to anyone who watches his old standup or new Netflix special. If you haven't yet, you should.)

[@AD-qw4fh]

He is really smart

[@ireumeundisappointment7978]

He doesn't mind being called "gurl" protect this hooman at all costs

[@lovelee193]

So proud of him! He's amazing.

[@lmbfr01]

where can I get his personality?

[@janehoomen3225]

He has so much intellect. Such a great human being!

[@user-tf1qo2pu3o]

I really like intelligent comedians like Trevor Noah and Hasan Minhaj who can be funny and make clever jokes while also being capable of taking things seriously and having coherent discussions about world events.

[@eangel28]

He's sooo fine! 😻😩

[@sylvanakhan2600]

Hasan is so smart wow, not like a dumb comedian with opinion. loved how he explained it

[@eyesthatsmile-heartthatlov8050]

Fox does lie. Haven't you heard of Sean Hannity?

[@samsue2924]

Freshand Flourishing Amen

[@BRBallin1]

Tucker Carlson is the only legitimate reporter for Fox News. Check out his videos. He's almost always on point logically.

He kind of looks like the brown version of Richard Madden or Rob from GOT

[@sruthinambiar2701]

He is just amazing 😂❤

[@nanditarajasekaran8060]

lol "you should be proud of yourself GIRL"? O_o

[@hunelysium]

Did she just call him a girl ? I know it's not the point, but we don't call a girl "good boy" or something, cause it would be considered stupid! I like Chelsea's show, this is like the only time I didn't quite like how she interviews someone

[@Countrygirltori24]

I tend to accidentally say that to everyone. I say "go girl" a lot and every once in awhile will say it to a guy. Just a slip of the tongue.

[@LetUsSee001]

SAME

[@nanditarajasekaran8060]

he mumbles.. haha I think he was thinking "should I correct her or keep smiling"

[@margaritam.9118]

it's a joke. Haven't you ever used that sassy "gurrrl" towards anyone? Chelsea apparently went to a new level and started calling "boys" "gurrrls", or it's just a habit. Most of her guests are women

[@kapilpatel4849]

Love this guy!

[@caitlinerickson7355]

I think I love him...

anybody else has the feeling indians are taking over lately? (not hating, just happy)

Hasan is a wonder, pure and simple. I love Jordan, but Hasan should've gotten that post-TDS slot. He's got so much momentum right now.

[@kerikah]

Is that really how the Matrix works...? I thought one pill was reality and one was Matrix. Hasan seems to be saying both pills are Matrices... (And yes, I love that I just got to use the plural of Matrix!)

[@kulsumfatima9891]

It looks like Chelsea was forced to have him on the set! She doesn't seem to enjoy talking to him.
