Hasan Minhaj:
Every generation is defined by a great struggle or tragedy. And it's wild that our kids will never know there was a period of time, in this country, where you had to make a choice between being online or being on the phone.

I think I have found my hero. This stand-up was some what of a prophecy to me, I myself am a first generation, brown, American Muslim so this stand was extremely relatable. I feel like I have gone through the same struggles as Minhaj did growing up with relationships and parents. This stand-up inspires me to be like Minhaj, but all in all, Hasan Minhaj is truly on the come-up to be a star!
