I just cringe every time someone mispronounces Hasan's name.

[graciec.]

"Oh no, I can't drink on camera..." That was serious honesty lol

[emeken]

Hasan's show is FIRE. One of the best news/current event shows out there. How does the Daily Show keep hiring and producing such stars?

[DramaQueenMalena]

For me the HP character that represents Trump most is not Voldemort, it's Gilderoy Lockhart.

"He who shall not be named, like - I know he exists, I just don't want to give him the attention." Agreed!!! LMAO

Real talk. I'm a huge conservative....patriot act is actually a really smart show. I didn't used to like this guy but jesus he is smart and makes good points. I'm now a fan

[annemarieclulow]

Patriot act is fantastic! It's similar to John Oliver in that its hugely educational as well as really funny! We need to have more programs like this!!!

COLBERT: Is voting bae?
HASAN: I would say voting is lit🔥

[globalwarmhugs]

I wish corporate media would take a ride on the Hasan Minhaj train. Just stop giving the orange toddler any attention. That's how he got elected. Toddlers always get what they want, if you let them.

Son of a gun... the damn tone he said that whole story with...

'Out of the 37 late night hosts... they happen to be the first one with brown Melanin skin !
.... Yeaa you should be scared !''

NAILED IT

If the media had followed Hassan's rule of not mentioning #45 (I follow the same rule too), he'd have NEVER won... the amount of free media he got during the campaign was insane-- I live out of the US and I felt inundated with the orange one.

[ayshaaali]

I love how he's unapologetically Muslim.

[imoor]

Stephen looking at him like...wait so you can do a show without trump? Lol

[AhmedSajawal]

why it seems like where ever hassan goes he makes it somewhat his own show :P


love you bro .... respect <333

[samuelbtr]

Wtf he looks like he's still late 20's

[ryanguerra]

I love how Colbert is like, “What do you talk about if you don’t talk about trump???”
And Hasan is like, “Issues.”

[Uzi]

😂😂 no one getting the “Minternet” joke at the beginning

[JaiNanette]

Is it just me or did Colbert look scared and intimidated the entire interview...THAT’S WHY Minhaj said what he said at the end 😂😂😂

[momotwoeight]

"see this minternet? apple cider" i love him

[sabahbubbler]

Mad respect to Hasan not drinking alcohol
