Hasan Minhaj at 2016 RTCA Dinner (C-SPAN)

[stoop]

He owned that entire room. He called out everyone in there for what they truly are

[DemeilJacobs]

This deserves way, way more recognition. Hasan props to you..

[beckhampang]

“But please, persevere. Because our thoughts and prayers are with you.”

[jarrydpillay]

When your world has comedians braver than the leaders, something has to change.

[francesinez]

You did good, Hasan. Sorry you had a lame audience. That silence just means you hit home. Keep it up.

[quinnnguyen]

wow, this was so much more than comedy

[HyunlixHearts]

"If we raised $4 million, would you take that to save lives?" He nailed it right on the spot

[sheldon]

I've never seen such a roasting before...

[poojagirwarr]

I clicked on this by mistake and it was the best mistake I've ever made

[thundafundamentalist]

He Literally killed it. Thats why the silence. Wow. Such a strong performance. None in the room can match up to it and they know it.

[DexPeck]

I hope comedy central gives that man a raise. Seriously, the balls that took....

[HKim]

lol, old white people don't like to be lectured by a young brown dude. Hasan is sharp though.

[jimmyeatsom]

That closing line!!! Ho-Lee-Shit!
Top job dude, well done.

[AMAmuch]

18:18 shit just got real. this man is dope for using the platform that he had to talk about these issues,

[mayagold]

god this audience makes my skin crawl. even the ones that laugh do it because they are uncomfortable. and the older men are just giving him the death stare.

[MIABrandy]

This is one of the most amazing influential and moving speeches I think I've ever seen... you are my new hero!

[TokyoBlue]

When he called them out on taking NRA money...wow. That was so great and took a lot of guts.

[zulfam]

the white people in the crowd are so pissed off lmao 😂

[juanfutureguy]

Spoken with more courage than a true journalist. Fantastic. A tremendous risk you took in confronting these people. The ending is extraordinary. Where you mention it only takes 4 million dollars to buy congress. Extraordinary. Hasan, you took a risk being so poignant with these people but your voice is extremely important. You have humanized the argument. :))

[EricaShady]

THUMBS UP! Hasan has BAAAALLLS!! 11:51 "... but your average member of Congress has to raise $18, 000 a day just for their party. And it's incredible for as much time as Congress spent denying poor people money, you guys sure spend a lot of time beging for it." hahahahha
