American comedian, writer, political commentator, actor and television host, Hasan Minhaj is the only brown voice in late-night television.
When it comes to talk shows, the field is dominated by white men. You have Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Stephen Colbert, James Corden, Conan O'Brien and the list goes on. Minhaj is a step towards progress with his Netflix original talk show "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj."
Minhaj began his career with minor acting roles and stand-up comedy before making it big on "The Daily Show" as a senior correspondent in 2014. In 2017 Minhaj's first stand-up special "Homecoming King" premiered on Netflix. This would earn him a Peabody Award in 2018. Also in 2017, Minhaj was the featured speaker at the "White House Correspondents' Dinner."
Muslims in America have little to no role models. Minhaj is woke and uses his powers for a greater good.
