    I find Minhaj to usually be a bit over the top and sloppy with his delivery but his style really suited this occasion. His harsh truths were balanced perfectly by his boyish charm and he had just the right energy and physical performance to execute the material. It wasn't just funny, it was dynamic and fantastic commentary on American society and the current state of Journalism... I really hope people take notice of this performance, I think it has lifted the bar in terms of what we need to expect for this event next year regarding substance on top of humor, bravo!!!

      Colloquial speaking is something that the broad majority of the population does in everyday conversations and talking to their friends, family, colleagues, etc., so why talk sophisticated and scholarly to the entire population of Americans, especially when 1/8 of them speak Spanish as their primary language and another large portion aren't as educated to understand formal language?

      +Jiri Klouda I don't know why you think this is a political speech. The jokes were not bad but half of them did not connect with the audience because Hasan was speaking too fast.
      I was disappointed that Hassan ruined the closure by blaming Trump for not defending the 1st Amendment, which is not true. Trump can be blamed for a lot of things. Not defending the 1st Amendment is not one of them. In fact, it is my personal opinion that Trump talks shit to get around the censorship that our 'free press' imposes on anyone that is not establishment. Look at how Gary Johnson & Stein did not get any press during the election. Even Bernie got press only towards the end that too bad press. Trumps talks shit to force the press to focus on him. I am sure he believes that any press (even bad press) is better than NO press at all and it sure worked and is continuing to work for him.
      The selection of Hasan a Muslim is political (because the organizer's intention was to make Trump attack a Muslim) the speech itself is not.

    I would like to say, As damn near the only white boy in my neighborhood for half a mile that wasn't passing through terrified for his life I can honestly say; There's no exaggeration in this. You would be an idiot to imagine that racism doesn't go both ways. You can easily imagine me taking shit growing up. So with that said from the point of view of a white male recently turning 24 I am personally EXTREMELY happy that these conversations are consistently thrown in the faces of those in power. I have more minority friends now than I have ever had "White" friends in my life. I have been more accepted by those who automatically chocked me into the same group as those that were suppressing their success than I have EVER been by "White America" I am a white male, And my views on this issue aligning with those of minorities I can assure you create just as many divides on this side of the fence.
    DO NOT LET THEIR BULLSHIT GET TO YOU!!! I am Native American, German, Irish, Blah blah blah blah. Keep up your fight. Minorities have ALWAYS done more in my experience than those who oppress them. Do not forget this strife is not pleasant, But it will make your points hit that much harder, and make you that much more driven to change the world for a better. Do not forget.

      bigfurhat bigfurhat dude you're a conservative troll. This is like the third stupid comment I've seen for you. It's becoming a game for me. For brown people this shit is inspiring. Considering the audience he had his jokes were brave.

    That was very heartfelt. Michele Wolf was just savage but Hasan Minhaj had a message and delivered a really strong performance.

      I'm sorry, I know comedy is subjective, but he was not that funny at all. I only listened to him because Whoopi Goldberg was stating that the guy made jokes of not just Trump, but the media outlets too. Look at the faces of the audience, and the lack of laughter noise, it's pockets of laughs. They were only joke that even made me laugh was the minority joke. HIs serious points were better were the only pluses I can name, one about the first amendment and about the media having to be on their "A" game. #if i had pain for a meal that tasted that bad, I would be asking for a partial refund

    When Trump didn't show up to this event where all media was together for one night I was worried it would be like (Game of Throne Spoilers...) when Cersei Lannister doesn't show up to the trial and blows up the Sept of Baelor! hehe.

    preach, this was so amazing and he should be proud, no one is giving him crap because he did it fairly, he made fun of both sides, including himself and made points that no one can refute, praise!
