Vir Das - “Landing” & Demonstrating Love with Laughter | The Daily Show

[@is_sandman]

"Love is never yelled. It's not a loud proclamation, it's a quiet demonstration."- vir das. You deserve that award my man.

[@sidhanthmuralidhar8963]

Brilliant

[@supersteve1585]

That jab at the New Yorker was 👌 😂

[@ashseetha]

Hasan Minhaj... Thanks, Vir!!

[@saivamsikrishnaposani7157]

​@@ashseethaWell, definitely, minhaj is a fellow comedian and also an Indian American, whereas vir is a Indian comedian, so there will always be a sense of protection and a type of brotherhood between them

[@KommAce]

Stand in solidarity with Hasan Minhaj

[@lonewolfe2502]

I am Indian and I didn't understood the joke. Can you please explain? What compartment he's talking about? Like train compartment?

[@supersteve1585]

@@lonewolfe2502 The New Yorker is a magazine that did a article on Hasan Minhaj; fact checking him, claiming he made his stories up in his stand up specials like the prom date story. Even though he gave all the evidence like text messages to the journalist. They also spliced two quotes together to make it seem like Hasan said something else during the interview.The only thing Hasan changed was kind of minor things like location claiming to help connect with the audience. Hasan later posted a video on his KZbin channel with the audio recording of the interview with the journalist with all the evidence he gave to her which she never used. Was those changes that Hasan did necessary? I don't know as I'm not a expert in what goes into making a stand up comedy. But the magazine saying something totally different than what was said in the interview recording, are troubling.

[@MrTekniqs]

Vir Das slayed that New Yorker joke. This crowd is trash lately.

[@abhik8259]

Exactly my thought!

[@kevinkwon3608]

they might just not be familiar with it

[@muddman1409]

I feel like that was solidarity with Hasan, and I loved it.

[@MrTekniqs]

@@muddman1409Absolutely, which is why I made the joke on the New Yorker and Not Hasan. @kevinkwon3608 there is NO WAY they don't know. This crowd mainlines drama. They laugh at all the far-left approved jokes.

[@pbhanjdeo]

Or the crowd knows that "emotional truths" is a load of trash

[@valley-girl]

The fact thar no one reacted to the "New Yorker fact check" joke... COME ON! THAT WAS FIRE 🔥

[@toritori5835]

“Go on Oprah but then you lose your body guards …” 😂😂😂 “Do you know how badly you have to F up before the British say that YOU divided India?” 🤣🤣🤣 I’m dying.

[@raiideas]

British did not divide India. It was divided by Indians through Direct Action Day and referendum vote. VOTE!

[@aarav5420]

Pls educate yourself before saying such things it may have been done by Indians BUT It came to the point due to religious affiliation one such eg-the Indians were using pig oil for their ammunition and Pakistanis were using cow oil for their ammunition which is respected and considered holy in each others religion. Maybe this info was left out when you were being taught how brits "developed" our nation by introducing railways.

[@heygranti24]

Well, religion divided India as Muslims thought that they won't prosper in a Hindu ruled country. Not that Pakistan is doing any better though. Lol! India is thriving. Muslims in India are thriving as well. They are 20% in population now as compared to 7%. Whereas, Hindus and Sikhs population has decimated exponentially in Pak.

[@Brc-kg1mg]

​@@heygranti24To be fair 80 percent of the workers in Dubai or Kuwait are hindu . So that should balance the Hindu representation that's lacking in Pakistan. Interesting how Pakistan is the only muslim country you can compare with India though.

[@aniketapol]

Can someone tell me who this "Go on Oprah and lose your bodyguards" thing is aimed at ? 😂 Is it prince Harry and Meghan ?

[@vanshikachats]

This was such an honest and respectful interview where both parties admire each others work, and rightly so. As an Indian, it gives me immense joy to see Vir Das succeed and I agree with everything he said here. It is because of people like Kal Penn that we can even think of coming to the US and making our mark globally. I love the immigrant show concept with Andy, can’t wait to watch it!! I’ve always seen shows where we see Indian representation as American born Indians but never how we come here when we’re adults and try to make a life. Wooh! So excited!!

[@russellchung3119]

😂. Vir Das is hilarious. He's more savage with his jokes than I remember

[@peterbathum2775]

Props dude. You slayed me with how bad you have to duck up for Britain to say You divided India… mad mad props for you.

[@nithinraj6947]

Love is not loud proclamation...it's a quiet demonstration. 🖖

[@kohlinoor]

Did this get unlisted because of the joke about Hasan?! It was so smooth and nobody laughed... I love both of these dudes, more people should see this!

[@supersteve1585]

Its unlisted because its not officially posted yet. It scheduled to be released at a specific time

[@viveksmom]

It was super smooth. I think the audience didn't laugh because Kal stepped on it. Made me wonder why?

[@rashichoudhary2006]

​@@chiangweytan5937the New Yorker comment after the precipitation bit.

[@AradhitaPyne]

1:49 - 1:52 "Love is never yelled. Love is felt." Great words said by the face of Indian comedy- Vir Das. ☺️

[@AayushKumar_]

"Before the New Yorker fact checks me" LOL

[@TheRudra108]

An Emmy? Man. Well-deserved. I’ve watched his comedy. It’s okay. But his body of work and raw talent are high level. There’s something beyond what he’s doing that can unravel his potential, I just don’t know what it is.

[@Confusedbetweenfoodandfitness]

Connection with the audience i guess. I have seen him live and it is entertaining but my favourite indian comic is Zakir Khan. His connection with his audience is unparalleled. He did a 2 and half hour set and it was just the most amazing and entertaining performance i have seen till now. But again Zakir khan’s comedy is very Indian, Vir Das has more international appeal.

[@mhermarckarakouzian8899]

This will sound like it’s coming out of my rear, but I think Vir should be the next Daily Show host and here is why: I saw him live recently at a small club and having gone to stand-up shows for years for many comics, this was easily one of (if not) the most memorable one. All I could think of was “I just witnessed a master at work.” It was literally a privilege and an experience I am taking to my grave. It was so intelligent, hilarious, so artfully delivered. And so he fits the Daily Show position perfectly.

[@vasudhasharma5532]

Idk where you are from… but wouldn’t you want an American to do the daily show? (Genuine question)

[@amitpatilamit]

​@vasudhasharma5532 Last host was a South African, and other late night shows had foreign hosts, too.

[@namrataagarwal3733]

Vir deserves it for sure...

[@mobassirahmedhemel4736]

1:09 jab at NYT for Hasan was smooth.

[@primerose9555]

Can you please give context?

[@dilmeral]

I love Vir Das so happy he got his well deserved Emmy 💕

[@Bhooteshwar]

He’s a cultural sellout. No wonder the west gave him an award. Anything to belittle India.

[@ashwitapalekar8223]

I want Vir Das to host the daily show...that's it

[@MichelleLalindeNoack]

I mean, honestly... yes.

[@cometstyles3772]

he could host for a week like everyone else..

[@Glifforian]

I just yelled very loudly “ couldn’t agree more “🎉

[@mellowmonsoon278]

Please don’t limit him for American daily politics. It will ruin him. He has a much bigger role to play.

[@BAYBEEKITN]

Vir das is so underrated. His standup is great and he is great at acting too.

Great point about speech being curtailed by people around us. Especially in India which has such a hierarchical social system and does not encourage individual thought to a large extent.

[@KirtiSays]

Cannot wait to see him perform in DC in January! Vir is such an intelligent and witty comedian. Loved this interview. As a kid I watched Kal Penn and thought, wow, someone who looks like he could be a brother of mine is on American television…he was a trailblazer for sure.

[@anneefreres3299]

As a lifelong Memphis citizen, I will never understand why people try to say we are any kind of country music scene. We are an R&B and rap haven with some gospel, bluegrass and blues but we are not Nashville. Happy to have him here though! Hope they actually film here to boost our economy instead of just saying its in Memphis.
