Hasan Minhaj Talks Male Friendships, Seeing His Dad Cry and Confederate Statues | The Tonight Show

[@dannytran9888]

Hasan Minhaj turned an interview into a stand-up performance, that's how talented he is !

[@ms0824]

No, he's a comedian. That's the go to thing for him...

[@famousgoldentouch]

My words ! And to see jimmy kinda uncomfortable (even though he knew what was coming) was hilarious for itself 😆😂

[@rwoelffer]

That was literally his whole set from when I saw him a week ago

[@jubileeekins]

Felt a bit rehearsed now that i saw the whole thing , i saw a clip on IG w the IG beautiful comment and thought it was funny. But seeing this, it’s like he was afraid he would forget his skit he just kept going and it sounded so unnatural

[@thefreshestprince89]

He does this every single time.

[@Animaniac-vd5st]

Jimmy was SOOOO unprepared for this. His mind was like "nooo, don't talk about *that* right now" - for at least 5 times in that clip.

[@pastense]

I know Jimmy misses beats every now and then, but wow, he was a deer in headlights all over this 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@jgr2884]

It was nice to see Jimmy in Hassan’s show😂

[@didilove8110]

When comedians come on a show. The host is supposed to let them talk. Watch wanda Sykes or Amy schumer. Etc.

Please get Hasan his show back. He needs to talk with people outside of him family. Deep Cuts could be a standalone show.

[@FefiBurgos]

I miss Patriot Act! it was so good!

[@ArgChica]

Damn...didn't know it was gone. Thought another delay like other things. Wow I don't pay attention 🤣

[@aaronfelman1000]

It’s gone because he was getting death threats, no joke, and couldn’t go on with it. He talks about it during his stand up and I heard it recently myself while seeing him at Radio City.

[@rzwitdauncut]

he did deep cuts on his youtube for a little bit. and i saw a comment here about the threats. yea you right. because he was exposing the shady shitt those rich people do behind close doors. the world is f up because everybody lies. the moment one person tells the truth they can’t take it

[@jacobchang8169]

YES

[@ziggywiggy3650]

In tears, Hasan is the future of late night. Jimmy was not at all prepared for where Hasan took the show and I hope it's not problematic for either of them because Jimmy looked a bit unsettled.

[@imwonderstruckk13]

Jimmy actually knew lol. I know cause I was at Hasan’s show last week and he said he was trying to figure out with Jimmy what jokes from his tour to include cause he needed to keep it TV friendly… not sure how he landed on these jokes being the appropriate ones hahaha but I support🤣

[@RyanD808]

I like how prepared Hasan comes into to entertain. For those who don’t know, everything he said was basically all planned. Gives a better show imo despite not an open interview

[@ms0824]

Not really, just be the comedic guest if you're just working out material.

[@phoenixluk]

Hasan has told the IUD joke on like 20 different shows. He did NOT look it up last night! 🤣

[@rwoelffer]

Yes all planned out and told every night at every show he does. I heard the same jokes last Thursday

[@mrrd4444]

It's still a problem, but this is why the emerging culture of positive and emotional masculinity in contrast to a lot of more toxic aspects of masculinity is so great. A majority of adult men not having friends is an actual issue that is being studied. Outside of men having hobbies like gaming and fandom, the older men get there seems to be a difficulty making deeper connections. And part of that is just that a lot of the emotional work of maintaining a friendship outside of structures like schools, sports teams, etc wasn't encouraged in men a decade, two decades, etc ago. So you get the phenomenon of married hetero men being friends with their wives' friends, etc. But I am seeing a shift. Younger dudes around milennial and Gen Z ages are a lot more open and emotionally available and put in the emotional work to maintain friendships, because there's not as much of a stigma anymore. And a few groups of older men here and there are making active attempts to undo the kind of weird lonely stoicism they grew up with that was touted as self-sustainability but in practice just ends up being dependence on people like their wives and families. Definitely hope this trend towards more healthy, communal male relationships keeps going up.
