Hasan Minhaj
Emmy & Peabody Award-Winning Comedian, Actor, Writer & Star of "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj"
Hasan Minhaj is a comedian, writer, producer, actor, and television host. He initially gained recognition as a correspondent on the Emmy and Peabody award-winning program "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah." His tenure on the show lasted from 2014 until 2018, during which time he addressed topics ranging from Indian culture to the modern American political landscape. In 2017, Minhaj distinguished himself as the featured speaker at the White House Correspondents' Dinner, where he addressed the "elephant not in the room" and emphasized the importance of free speech and a free press.
In addition to his work on "The Daily Show," Minhaj developed and performed his critically acclaimed one-man show "Homecoming King," which debuted Off-Broadway after a sold-out run in 2015 and premiered as a Netflix special in 2017. This stand-up comedy special received positive reviews and earned Minhaj a Peabody Award. A 2014 Just For Laughs "New Face," Minhaj was selected by the Sundance Institute to develop his solo show and feature film at the prestigious New Frontier Storytelling Lab.
Minhaj's career in television extends beyond "The Daily Show." He hosted a weekly comedy show, "Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj," on Netflix from 2018 until its conclusion in 2020. The show, which involved discussions on politics and culture, received several awards, including an Emmy Award, a second Peabody Award in 2019, and two Webby Awards. In addition, Minhaj appeared in a recurring role in the second season of the Apple TV+ drama series "The Morning Show" in 2020. His contributions to the industry led to his inclusion in Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2019.
While renowned for his achievements in television, Minhaj has also made notable contributions to other forms of media. He voiced The Riddler in the Warner Bros.-Spotify Batman podcast, "Batman Unburied," and released his second Netflix special, "Hasan Minhaj: The King's Jester," in 2022. Furthermore, he has acted in films such as "Rough Night" (2017), "The Spy Who Dumped Me" (2018), and "No Hard Feelings" (2023). He also made a guest appearance on "Celebrity Jeopardy!" in 2022 and hosted the 38th Independent Spirit Awards in 2023.
