Such a terrifying headline. Read "Hassan Minhaj killed" and assumed some hate crime.

Dude come on !! Seth Meyers is probably the most artificial comedian among the lot that do these late night shows, the guy makes Jimmy Fallon look good and Fallon is probably quite lame himself !!

The only segment that I've genuinely enjoyed for Seth was probably his skit for Game of Thrones with Jon Snow - That was gold !! Apart from that nothing is that impressive.

Stephen Colbert, Trever Noah, Conan, Kimmel and even Samantha Bee are ahead of the above two when it comes to material and punch line delivery.

I find Seth Myers micky of Donald Trump incredibly funny.

If you watch his 10 minute videos on a closer look they are funny, which can be Found over YouTube.

John Oliver is another one I find funny.

SNL sketch of the debates with Hilary were decent as well.

Trevor Noah should have done it, he would have done a better job.

Whoever made Melissa Mccarthy play Sean Spicer on SNL deserves an award. That skit was HILARIOUS

He wasn't that great TBH. I was expecting a lot more . He gets a little too excited for my liking , I like subtlety in my comedy .

The best one in my opinion was Stephen Colbert on W. Bush in 2006. It took huge balls for a democrat (he was in character though as the Bill 'O Reilly inspired Stephen Colbert character ), to take Bush and Co to task . The rest of the performers like Seth did it under a favorable government (Obama). But what Stephen did was truly bold !

No he wasn't, he was pretty darn good. I wouldn't say it was the best ever. But his line about his dad returning used underwear to Costco was classic...such a desi move, lol!

His quips about minorities was also spot on.

Trevoer Noah was needed there he had absolutely all the right tool in his armory.

Trevor is SOuth African. I don't think Black minorities in US (African-Americans) enjoy them being represented by an African . Whereas Hassan was ideal - Asian, Muslim and Indian to boot . SO he represents multiple minorities affected by the new administration .

He was pretty good, he has grown a lot in last few years, its really big deal for a brown Muslim guy in country like USA...

Here is his full monologue in white house Correspondents dinner.

I guess his "Desi" facial expressions and movements appeal to us a lot . Which is why we find him appealing . Same case as "Russel Peters" . They can do the DESI FACE without making it a caricature.
