- “Comedy, this job on its best day, can sometimes be alchemy.” Comedian & actor Vir Das discusses the journey he’s been on over the last few years, from facing strong backlash over his poem “I Come From Two Indias,” to winning an International Emmy for his Netflix special about the aftermath of that controversy, “Vir Das: Landing.” Plus, he gives Kal Penn credit for influencing him to attend college in America and shares why it’s important to be “authentically Indian” on his 33-country Mind Fool stand-up tour. #DailyShow #VirDas #KalPenn

That jab at the New Yorker was 👌 😂
Hasan Minhaj... Thanks, Vir!!
@@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
Stand in solidarity with Hasan Minhaj
I am Indian and I didn't understood the joke. Can you please explain? What compartment he's talking about? Like train compartment?
@@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 CZcams 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.
"Love is never yelled. It's not a loud proclamation, it's a quiet demonstration."- vir das. You deserve that award my man.
Vir Das slayed that New Yorker joke. This crowd is trash lately.
Exactly my thought!
they might just not be familiar with it
I feel like that was solidarity with Hasan, and I loved it.
@@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.
Or the crowd knows that "emotional truths" is a load of trash
“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.
British did not divide India. It was divided by Indians through Direct Action Day and referendum vote. VOTE!
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.
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.
@@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.
Can someone tell me who this "Go on Oprah and lose your bodyguards" thing is aimed at ? 😂
Is it prince Harry and Meghan ?
The fact thar no one reacted to the "New Yorker fact check" joke... COME ON! THAT WAS FIRE 🔥
"Before the New Yorker fact checks me" LOL
😂. Vir Das is hilarious. He's more savage with his jokes than I remember
Love is not loud proclamation...it's a quiet demonstration. 🖖
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.
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!
Its unlisted because its not officially posted yet. It scheduled to be released at a specific time
It was super smooth. I think the audience didn't laugh because Kal stepped on it. Made me wonder why?
What Hasan joke? Pls enlighten
@@chiangweytan5937the New Yorker comment after the precipitation bit.
Ah yes... Solidarity with Hasan ftw
1:09 jab at NYT for Hasan was smooth.
Can you please give context?
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!!
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.
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.
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.
Idk where you are from… but wouldn’t you want an American to do the daily show? (Genuine question)
@vasudhasharma5532 Last host was a South African, and other late night shows had foreign hosts, too.
Vir deserves it for sure...
I want Vir Das to host the daily show...that's it
I mean, honestly... yes.
he could host for a week like everyone else..
I just yelled very loudly “ couldn’t agree more “🎉
Please don’t limit him for American daily politics. It will ruin him. He has a much bigger role to play.
Vir Das is one of the most intelligent comedians globally.
I love Vir Das so happy he got his well deserved Emmy 💕
He’s a cultural sellout. No wonder the west gave him an award. Anything to belittle India.
Vir das is so underrated. His standup is great and he is great at acting too.
Love is never yelled, its felt...Gem of words
Great conversation and love learning about Indian culture through these men and laughter!
Then please learn from better sources not from opportunistic people who leverage their ethnicity to misrepresent Indian culture.
@@priyesh12tiwary51Like from some baba pretending to know each and every of a cultural dating back more than 5000 years.
@@priyesh12tiwary51 Eww. If you represent Indian culture, nobody will like India.
@@priyesh12tiwary51Another gobarchod bhakt embarrassing himself
@@priyesh12tiwary51you are misrepresenting the country here
what an articulate wordsmith Vir Das is!!! 🤩
Exceptional conversation and Vir Das being as insightful as always.
That jab at new Yorker 😂😂.. I so want to see some content with vir and Hasan!!!
Probably, one of the most intelligent stand-up comedians of our generation.
Cannot wait for Vir's new show..fingers crossed this one takes off. Hechas really earned it, and deserves it. Very intelligent, astute and decent. And hilarious.
Ahh man. Vir Das. I missed him at my college/fraternity by just a year.
"Love is never yelled, love is felt" - vir das #word
Watching daily show after a long while and i gotta say the host is great. Letting him speak and only adding to it when needed.
Kal putting on for India! Love it
That subtle jab at the New Yorker! Solidarity!!
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.
Vir Das should host daily Show for a week.
Hahahha this dude is funny and quick, yeah the crowd couldnt follow
That New Yorker joke was 🔥 expected better audiance for The Daily show
I was at this taping, I couldn't hear the interview that well. I had to rewatch on CZcams and fell out of my chair laughing lol
Vir Das is hilarious and on point! ......The Daily Show >> should have him back to HOST! 👍👌
Vir is an truly brilliant comedian. Incredible story teller.
Great conversation! Indian culture is so fascinating
Then please learn from better sources not from opportunistic people who leverage their ethnicity to misrepresent Indian culture
@@priyesh12tiwary51 Eww. If you represent Indian culture, nobody will like India.
@@priyesh12tiwary51like arnab Goswami 😂
@@RailTV01sure
vir das was abusing gods. and quint and news laudy were backing him. thats the context.@@RailTV01 that led to rage against him
Kal Penn is a legend.
Great interview! Comedy news interviews - insightful, smooth, & funny - are not easy!
indians are not prepared for vir's mind. most of them at least. when you pull yourself out of the scenario and look through the 3rd perspective towards situation you realize what am i going wrong. that's not what most indians do. that's what most vir and his fans do.
i bet none of vir's fan totally agree with vir's thoughts but we put a pin on it and let it brew for time until we see both picture. picture of what our mind said and what vir's thoughts were. i have been following this guy for roughly 11 years. he is more of elder brother i can take a view, question it, put my thoughts, agree, something disagree and move on.
Kal is the best pick for host!
His words are always so well put . Love vir :))
He is sooo witty and funnny! A difficult combo to achieve!❤
Daily Show Kal Penn is great host, he's got the comedy and political background.
"By the way, that didn't happen, in case New Yorkers fact checks me" that line was epic.
What a bliss to watch. :) Still rooting for Kal as new permanent Host.
Now Vir Das? Loving this week! Who’s next? 🥰🥰🥰
Vir Das has to be the new host of the Show
This was an absolutely great interview.
Im still not sure I want ONE host. I enjoy the varied perspectives of all the hosts! :)
So well deserved!!! Congrats and all the best!!!
Glad to see vir on the daily
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.
What an interesting, intelligent, and eloquent man.
Love love love. Thank you.❤
Love the newyorker dig
Congratulations bro🎉you deserve it bigggg time❤
New fav. VIR DAS!
Vir is absolutely amazing. Love him
My man! What confidence... ❤❤❤❤
This was even better than I expected.
He's clearly a great comedian and I loved his first special i saw but, as a white american it's hard to relate to his more Indian-centric holes
Hey maybe try listening to his jokes not his holes. 😂
People who have a lot of exposure to different cultures..
Or who want to increase their exposure like his comedy...regardless of their color.
1:49 - 1:52 "Love is never yelled. Love is felt." Great words said by the face of Indian comedy- Vir Das. ☺️
Always such a joy to listen to him talking to others❤❤❤
The Desi love with that New Yorker jab. ♥️
dang it. he mentioned OH. I almost went to that show but I was thinking "i dont know his comedy, but it sounds interesting"... now i hate i missed it!
I can't wait to see Vir Das in January!
I was already proud of Vir Das and now this🥺🥺
I think it's safe to call him the GOAT at this point in his ascend.
Vir das should be in the next harold & kumar

Love Vir Das
Go Vir! ❤
Oooooh, that dab/doff o' the hat at Hasan Minhaj & the jab/side-swipe at NYT was delicious!!
Not NYT, New Yorker.
@@ismohd87 Oops! My bad!
Thanks for the correction!
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.
I love Vir Das.
vir u r and u will always be the best n my favvv
Few people know this but Kal Penn's real name is Kalpen Modi. 💀
Love this
Vir Das is very funny and clever :)
"look who I have the privilege of performing for" ♥
he is the BESSSSSSSTTTTT :)
Daily Show finally got a host 👍
I loved "freedom of speech" explanation...
Could you please keep Kal as a host. He’s not your next Trevor, he’s better!
He is one of the best😂
Becoming a country singer sounds fun movie
