It was cancelled because his deep dives were not well received by powerful people. I was not surprised.

Supremely underrated show. Anyone that missed it should go back and check it out: the content is still so relevant.

@@lw3269 And by that I imagine you mean oil barons in SA, UAE etc.

Man that show was just brilliant! 6 seasons evidently but felt like 2 minutes

Me too!!! Was one of my favorite shows. Hilarious and I learned so much

He has the intellect. He conquered the WH Press corps dinner.

damn thats a brilliant idea. perfect timing and perfect fit. patriot act showed me he could handle hosting... and hosting something so familiar to him like the daily show

I've been thinking about this since the announcement

He would be perfect

YES, OH GOD YES!

ooo I hope so, but America is still iffy with brown people so 🤷‍♂

I was thinking the same thing...

For some reason, I just have this feeling that Hasan would be great as the host of a satirical news-parody talk show… hmm…

YESSSS!!!!

Yessss. I miss him since Netflix canceled his news comedy special.

Why? Could he not just have explained that they were eons apart and Pakistan didn't even exist then.

@@thehamster2301 cause colonial legacy means one’s choices kind of still created the other’s reality? ie the whole nuanced point he was making

@@thehamster2301 liz 1 really ramped up british imperialism. it's not very direct, but if liz 1 were much less competent the british empire would have been much weaker, as at the critical early point they wouldn't have built momentum

@@magica3526 while that is true, we weren't the only ones laying claim to the world.....Columbus anyone?... We were just more successful 😊

@@UnsolicitedContext I'm sure his little girl appreciated the nuances.

That's what sets him apart. A lot of comedians are clever but you can tell he's a little deeper than most and what makes him a popular suggestion for taking the baton from Trevor Noah.

@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 a good suggestion.

He’s a modern day philosopher. Except the other modern day philosophers have opposing ideas on that notion. They disagree to agree.

@@baronesselsavonfreytag-lor1134 Swooon! Hasan would be amazing in that gig. It was a travesty when his first one got cancelled.

@@burnyizland Patriot Act was amazing.

What if he hosted The Daily Show

Same. So good. Makes me just wanna go rewatch Homecoming King again, too!

I watched him live on tour and it was an amazing show! Ready to watch it again.

I appreciated that, too. Sounds like they have known each other for awhile.

I like him, but the name pronunciation thing bugs me. I speak a few languages, and my name is pronounced differently in each. It never bothers me. I know that is the equivalent of my name or just how it will be said. Note: one of the languages includes the one his name is from, and writing it in Roman characters (as English is) limits the ability of others to pronounce it "correctly".

@@jcspoon573 True, but Hasan has spoken out publicly on how he would like his name to be pronounced in English! He used to go by what folks defaulted to, but he came out and publicly said that he'd actually prefer XXX - and it would be disrespectful to disregard that, especially when the sounds do exist in English!

@@regisphilbin222 Yet so many of us polyglots go about our interactions without concern. And the sounds don't have much distinction in English, we have only 1 H, 1 S, unlike the Arabic origin of his name.

@@jcspoon573 Hmm, so I also speak multiple languages and have an unusual and ethnic name. How my name is said in English vs my native tongue is different, and it is pronounced differently in other languages in other countries I lived in. At the same time though, I mean there's more of some basic respect that I like to hear when people say my name - for example, I do hope that people spell it correctly (especially on things like email replies where my name is already there), say my whole name (just two syllables, but people like shortening it for some reason), and at least I personally prefer it when people try to pronounce it the way I like (which is also very easy in English, by the way)

It is a little pandering, don’t you think?

Considering the border beef that India and Pakistan seem to have, it’s entirely possible that they may have actually made it harder, though I do have to note that geopolitical tensions don’t necessarily translate into workplace issues. And it’s not a simple correlation either, what with the aforementioned pay structure differences! It’s a complicated thing!

It’s not an Indian thing, or a Pakistani thing, or even a south Asian problem for that matter. The way they mostly see it is that your ethnicity is registered before your professional skills. They don’t see an engineer first, they see a race, and depending on how saturated a particular race is, they see the person as easily replaceable. So say for example you’re a hardworking Indian or Pakistani or Bangladeshi and if you try communicating that you’d like to get a promotion, the management doesn’t entertain those requests seriously because they’ll just replace you with another person of your race because of how densely populated the UAE is with desis. As far the south Asians at higher positions are concerned, they always look at young folks as a threat. In healthy work cultures, superiors feel the need to mentor somebody new and they genuinely feel a sense of happiness when they see somebody they’ve trained climb up the ranks. Unfortunately, much like in the case of the person you mentioned and for many others, those people view new folks of the same race as a threat to replace them, so they don’t bother much in terms of mentorship or defense.

@@eskarinakatz7723 That's generous of you but even though the uneven pay is company policy, Indian workers told my husband when he granted their requests for vacation days or whatever, "My family and I are surprised that you are so nice, growing up we were told that Pakistani people are monsters who eat babies". The "border beef" is mostly one-sided because of the violent xenophobia of the Modi government and right wing extremist Hindu nationalists. They are constantly spreading misinformation and blaming Pakistan for stuff they do.

@@shawkiizzat The Saudis and multinational companies may be dispassionate about it, but Indian managers promoted other Indians regardless of qualifications above others, and some blindly discriminated against Pakistani employees. Then his Indian underlings were dismayed when my husband treated them fairly and admitted they had been fed terrible propaganda about Pakistani people.

@@shawkiizzat Thanks for your perspective! The way it’s explained could also be used to explain how, among others, misogynistic discrimination and trans discrimination in the workplace may work-not seeing a person for their skills, but rather for their being a woman or trans (especially if they don’t pass as their true gender vs their Assigned Gender At Birth (AGAB)).

I remember Hassan with this joke in 2017: "For those of you who don’t know me, I am a correspondent on The Daily Show, on Comedy Central. Now, I see some of you whispering to each other-“What is Comedy Central?” Um, it’s basically an internship for Netflix." Would have been hella hilarious for him to go back and be like, "Welp, guess Netflix was for the internship for this"

Great Idea!

@@mlokole254 i mean, he is, i think is one of the more intelligent, politically-aware comedian right now. And he can connect with some of the young viewer's POV. And he is just fearless. He could be a more charismatic John Oliver.

My favorite book in 3rd grade was “And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street”, by Dr Seuss. P.S. no one ever read me stories.

Yeah, I thought it was going to be about old German/Brothers Grimm type stories about abandoning children, and maiming children, and eating children...

@@marks.3303 yeah I guess those are ancient 😢

Lucky you! All I got read to me were the bible and biblical-inclined stories. I made sure my children were never exposed to that.

@@bonniejosavland3227, or maybe not for children after all, until Disney smoothed them out

What do you mean? Hasan and Seth are both Americans, and this interview is on American TV channel

@Message Me Now ±⑤③⓪②③⓪③③④① you ought to be ashamed of yourself

Why don’t you just learn 🤨

you should learn, it’s such a fun language and you can express things you can’t in english. super cool. especially if you’re fidgety like me, it can be easier to learn than spoken word

That would be amazing

I basically agree. The weird thing about the US is that they have both some of the best and the worst teachers in the world. I often use their teaching ideas but am apalled when I read about the quality of teaching of other teachers in the US.

I believe some native American groups also use "uncle" for elders.

It’s so true. We’re an Indian family, and to our niece and nephew we are “Chachu and Jasmin”

Sri Lankans and other Asian cultures do the same.

In Germany changing from calling someone uncle first name to just first name when you become an adult is like a cherished right of passage; at least in my family..
