Don't understand the hype behind this guy, he's an okay comedian.

Was at my university as well few weeks back.
 
yeah but his white house correspondents dinner skit was straight fire.

Man that's a brutal as hell venue to perform, it's full of old white conservative men who take themselves too seriously with egos too large.

Props to him for going, I've seen guys even better get stifled laughs on genuinely funny material at those dinners.
 
his I can 'not see [pronounced 'Nazi'] Steve Bannon , not-see Steve Bannon, not-see Steve Bannon' line was brilliant
 
He is alright but quite over rated as a comedian. However, i was impressed by the content he brought to this particular episode. He better not visit a saudi consulate though. How will he perform Haj now? Lol

Saudis are welcoming to foreigners so they won't mind him coming to the country.

I guess Netflix had no choice but to comply with laws in a dictatorship which dont allow criticism of the regime.

Minhaj mentions it will now go viral on youtube but Id be surprised if Youtube is fully accessible or it wont be taken down from it's platform in the country.
 
Personally not a fan of Hassan Minhaj but this was an excellent episode.

I think his white house correspondents dinner speech is extremely overrated.
 
Not a fan of his work, his show is a rip off version of last week tonight with John Oliver.

What’s surprising is that those who criticize are the first one to oblige with Saudi dictators.
