New York Times interviews “The Daily Show’s” Hasan Minhaj on his new off-Broadway play “Homecoming King” and says this about the funny man’s background: “Mr. Minhaj is Indian-American and Muslim, two demographics not heard from nearly often enough in American theater.”
In the piece, the comedian and actor reflects on his new play: “To me, the point of the show is that everybody had changed for the better, and love does conquer what seems like impossible things to conquer, like religion, culture and race. I can’t tell you how awesome it is to see young brown kids stand in front of that poster [of me] outside [the theater] and do their mini-Drake pose in front of it. It’s just the coolest feeling ever.”
