[@WhatforNameIsThat]

This should be a fixed segment on the Daily Show. Marques coming in enthusiastically with a new product and then it ending up with Hasan smashing the technology every single time.

^You are a wise person.

Coincidentally, Hasan was a guest on MKBHD's podcast "WVFRM", where they came up with this idea (Ep 143, 30 mins in).

[@RobbyHuang]

“Printers are doomed” is the most accurate statement about technology

[@daemn42]

For the 30 years I've been in tech, they've been talking about the paperless office, and as far as I can tell we're really no closer to it. In my day job, we develop/support a product that has to automatically print lab orders, labels, and results to different printers, automatically (in batches) from a browser. It's horrible.

Pretty sure that toothbrush has a Li-Ion battery and rupturing it can be genuinely very harmful. My guess is that's why Marques stopped finding it funny right there and then LOL

[@schroedertime]

It is for sure because Hasan blended a battery!

[@mk1st]

Them doing a show together on a regular basis would be awesome. Marques is usually pretty even handed when it comes to reviews but Hassan would bring the real-world frustration voice to the convo.

[@ArthurKnight1899]

Hasan would be an amazing host! He ticks off every box of what needs to be a Daily show host. He can be serious and funny within a blink. He can bring inside and outside perspective but also be relatable either way. His anger is genuinely angry and makes us feel the same way. His eyes and very expressive too, which is important to captivate attention. Just hire him permanently!

This remote segment reminds me of Old School Daily Show. I missed those segments. I would love to see them come back. Hasan Minhaj is becoming my favorite guest host and I don't want his guest week to end.

[@cjnogodula]

Hasan is the new young host that the daily show needs, he's so in tune with the intersection of Millenial, Gen Z and Alpha that he literally has MKBHD on here

[@EKOLegend]

They actually executed the idea they talked about when Marques hosted Hasan on his podcast: Walking that talk, respect to that 👏

Yeaah. The Waveform podcast.

@@MiikeFoxx it's marques brownlee's podcast. MKBHD. I think it's called Waveform.

[@MABACTS]

Yes same!

[@edjwise]

Hasan please do more of this. The reason I ask for more is each of these moments. Switching apps, setting up a printer, a ping from Slack built tension in our lives. Tension that all of us do not release, what do we do? Go out to eat? (flowed like in your example) Watch Roku? ... This is not the future anyone wanted. All of these tools are CREATING and not REDUCTION the friction like we once expected them to.

[@ElliaPerez]

Marques always gives me that chill vibe, I can have the worst day and listen to him talk and feel so much better.

[@StoneMTNboy2009]

Can we all just agree...Hasan has the absolute best interviews. They're so unhinged, while somehow being incredibly informed

[@shaid1111]

It seems like such a safe choice to pick Hasan for permanent host, and I don't know if it's the right. But unless they want to permanently change what the show is then he is absolutely the right choice. He has such a confidence and swagger to this and he clearly is going in without any nerves.

[@ChristianLieb]

He needs his own format.

[@360.Tapestry]

to call him the "safe choice" seems to diminish his unique yet broad appeal. i never watched a full episode the whole time trevor noah was on. something about his delivery was too dry and serious. but i consistently watched _patriot act_ and was sad to see it discontinued. the topical subject matter aside, hasan is just very entertaining on his own

[@RichardServello]

Hasan is the best and clear choice. He's amazing and brings it. He's the first host that REALLY feels right. But I said that from the second Trevor announced his retirement.

[@Weirdkauz]

I think he and Ronnie should share.

[@neanda]

Why would that "permanently' change the show? Nothing in life is permanent, because of entropy and that change is the only constant. I reckon Hasan has got this, take it to the next level

[@IndigoVagrant]

I always wondered what will be the thing I get grumpy about as I get older, that maybe I become a bit old fashioned on, and I've found the answer.. While I love sci-fi and I want technological progress, I find modern tech to be infuriating. All these logins, passwords, printers not working, a dozens of accounts, wifi connectivity, printers not working, "self driving" for cars(a complete joke), QR codes for restaurant menus, ect, it's all very frustrating and I don't like it. The technology of the future imagined by sci-fi writers and futurists requires little handling and allows us to live our lives without thinking about technology. The only device to be released that achieves this the last few years, a device I sincerely love for making my life easier, is my roomba, which we affectionately refer to as "Roomba-San".

[@inorite4553]

This whole resteraunt thing Hasan Minhaj was talking about is like having to use wireless headphones instead of wired headphones with your phone. Like, you have to charge the headphones, and sometimes they fail to connect, and then they run out of batteries, and then you forget them, in which case you have to borrow a friend's bluetooth headsets, and spend 10 minutes trying to connect it to your phone. Like, you just made plugging a headset into your phone "6 steps harder."

[@henrytawnn8694]

This is exactly why my parents always need me to help them with anything new. Everything wants you to download some free app now, or has a subscription. Not even joking, their air purifier can link up to the wifi. Their cameras are linked through an app, they had a roomba for a while until it wasn't working. All of those things I've had to install an app and make an account, only to have them not really work anyways. It can be frustrating. I've even seen barbecue grills with wifi access now.
