Hasan Minhaj
If you had the opportunity to sit down with a famous person and ask them anything, what would you want to know? Obviously, it would depend on who it was and what earned them their status as a celebrity. On Monday, Nov. 8, at 7 pm, Hasan Minhaj is coming to the Walton Arts Center stage ready to talk about his background, career and experiences in an intimate conversation with the audience.
In today’s political and social climate, there is an interesting form of entertainment that blends commentary and comedy, and at the top of those performers is Minhaj. He is an American comedian, writer, producer, political commentator, actor and television host. As a first-generation American, Minhaj has a unique perspective that clearly resonates with audiences.
Heena Patel will moderate the conversation with Hasan Minhaj.
In 2017, Minhaj earned rave reviews for his performance hosting the 2017 White House Correspondents' Dinner, and for his one-hour Netflix comedy special Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King, which earned him a 2018 Peabody Award. Minhaj joined The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as a correspondent in November 2014, where he was Jon’s last hire. He continued on in that role after Trevor Noah took over as host the following year and remained on the show through August 2018. Most recently, Minhaj has joined the cast of Apple TV+’s The Morning Show.
Although he is currently touring in support of his newest one-man show, The King’s Gesture, his engagement at the Walton Arts Center promises to be much more special. Appearing alongside guest moderator, Henna Patel, A Conversation with Hasan Minhaj will give you a first-person point of view into his life, career and viewpoints. Questions will be sourced from the audience and public, for a truly one-of-a-kind experience. You can submit a question for Minhaj to answer by emailing info@waltonartscenter.org.
