- So on "The Morning Show", which I love, great show,
is it accurate to say
that you are now the youngest host ever for the show?
- On the show, yes. - On the show, yes
For UBA, yeah, which is a fake news network,
but thank you so much.
(Kelly laughs)
- I'm a pioneer.
- I'm breaking ground, hypothetically.
(Kelly laughs)
- But I hear that there's something
that happened on your Instagram,
like when you got on the show, people were going crazy.
- Oh, people are losing it on IG.
So I, as you can see in the clip,
I'm clean shaven in the show, because I am acting,
but people on Instagram weren't having it.
They love me with the melanin, with the beard.
- I do like the beard.
- And they were all up in the comments and they were livid.
(Kelly laughs) - Okay. Well, okay.
So it did spark, you know, outrage on Instagram.
So I want to show you some of the comments, everybody.
Looking young, like you work at Foot Locker.
(Kelly laughs) (hands clapping)
- Okay. - Awesome.
- I see that a little bit.
All right, that works. - [Kelly] That's amazing.
- Yeah.
- It's the clean as the baby-butt smooth.
- Yeah, it's like my first job.
I'm 15. - Yeah, exactly
- It's somewhat legal.
My parents are like, "Go make money."
And I'm like, "All right, I'll work at Foot Locker.
(Kelly laughs)
- That's a good job.
So wait, so this is a good one.
Okay. You look bomb either way but, damn, that shave.
(laughs)
- Wait, but is that good or bad, Kelly?
- I mean, it's good.
It's like, you look good either way, but like, "Damn,
I like the beard."
That's how I feel like-
- Let's open this up to the people.
- Let's...
(laughs)
- I'm talking about you, weird digital screens
and I'm talking about the people here.
What do you guys think?
We go beard or we go clean shave?
(Crowd claps)
- [Kelly] The beard.
- Beard or clean shave? (crowd clapping)
- [Kelly] I think most women are going to say beard.
- Beard?
- [Kelly] Yeah, it's just nice.
The beard is nice.
- Okay, beard it is.
- [Kelly] I mean, you look great though on the show.
- Thank you. - Great job.
(laughs)
Well, wait, something scary recently happens
on your comedy tour.
So could you tell us about it?
- So I'm on tour.
This is just this past weekend.
I'm in Detroit.
- [Kelly] Yes.
And you know, if you're familiar with my comedy,
it's kind of like, you know, just NPR, PowerPoint,
fun jokes. (Kelly laughs)
- You know what I mean? - Which is great.
- Yeah, it's a good vibe.
I'm in the green room and I'm in the green room in Detroit
at the beautiful Fox Theatre.
I hear someone's screaming in the lobby and I'm like,
"What is going on?"
The show hasn't even started.
And they're like, "Well, you know it is Detroit.
"Crazy things can happen."
I'm like, "Yeah, not at the Hasan Minhaj show."
(Kelly laughs)
I send Prashanth, our director.
I go, "Go find out what's going on.
"We got to start the show."
He goes out into the lobby
and he goes, "There's an Indian guy with a bomber jacket
"who looks just like you.
"He's with his dad.
"And his dad is like slinked on his shoulders."
And I'm like, "Indian dads don't do Jager Bombs.
"Like, that's not possible.
"Go fix it."
And they basically go, "Hey, is someone here a doctor?"
And then, you know, it's obviously my show,
so 50 Indian people are going, "I'm a doctor."
(Kelly laughs)
So they start crowding around, "I'm a doctor."
And they start one-upping each other, right?
And like, "Get over here.
"Get him a garbage bag,
"Get Dad a garbage bag."
I'm like, "Oh my God,
"this is like a huge insurance risk here."
Uncle projectile vomits all
over his Kirkland Signature khakis and his Costco shoes.
And the doctor shows up and goes, "Everybody out of the way,
"everybody out of the way.
"It's okay.
"We can start the show.
"Uncle just did edibles for the first time."
- Oh my gosh.
- Yes.
- That's so rock and roll. - Yeah!
And I'm like, "People are doing edibles at my show?"
(Kelly laughs) (crowd claps)
I think I really made it.
- I mean it's a cool way to see a comedy show.
- Yeah.
- You really get into the moment.
- I love that.
And it was a very Indian something to do to be like,
"Yeah, we're going to learn,
but we're also going to get high."
(Kelly and crowd laughs)
- Wait, so you're a father of two.
- Yes. - How old are they?
- I have a three-year-old and a one-year-old.
- Wow!
So my kids were the same,
about two years apart as well.
That's...
You're tired.
- I'm super tired. - [Kelly] Yeah.
- I'm very tired right now. (Kelly laughs)
- [Kelly] I was going to say, "You're not sleeping."
- [Hasan] Not at all. - [Kelly] Aww.
- Yeah.
Aw, that's me and baby girl.
And look, we're having just a daddy-daughter moment.
And I thought I was...
You know, one of the things I love doing is just like,
when we have a moment, we can kiss,
we share our little bond,
but then she got marker all over my sweatshirt, which-
- Oh man.
They do that.
My daughter is really into just carrying the pen
around like this,
because she's writing sentences now, she's seven.
And I'm like, "That's exciting. Put the lid on."
