Hasan Minhaj is a senior correspondent on the Daily Show. You may recognize him from his performance at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, at which he tore apart the current administration with some very clever jokes, such as:

"I would say it is an honor to be here, but that would be an alternative fact. It is not. No one wanted to do this, so of course, it lands in the hands of an immigrant."

Minhaj brought this witty humor to his recently-released Netflix stand-up special, "Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King." In the 72-minute long masterpiece, Minhaj talks about his upbringing and his experience as the child of Indian Muslim immigrant parents. While it is considered a stand-up comedy special, it is very personal and heartfelt, while at the same time hilarious. I do not want to spoil anything for you, so I will try to keep this as vague as possible while giving Minhaj the credit he deserves.

I may be biased, as I am also a son of immigrant parents, but I think this stand-up special was amazing, and I'd even go as far to say it was inspiring. Hasan Minhaj is able to really pull you in with both hilarious and heartbreaking anecdotes. From dealing with racism in America, to meeting Jon Stewart and eventually working for the Daily Show, Minhaj shows that he is not just a comedian; Minhaj is a storyteller, knowing when and how to transition between stories, and where exactly to tell jokes. Although this is his first hour-long stand-up special, he has shown that he is already masterful at his craft.

This stand-up comedy show will be remembered by the next generation of comedians, and so on, and so forth. It's a true underdog story that will leave you satisfied after the 72 minutes are over. It's an auto-biography of Minhaj's life so far, and it makes for a very compelling story. This is why this stand-up special stands out more than others: while many comedians focus on getting laughs and telling jokes, Minhaj wants you to get to know him, and the comedy will be found along the way.

After watching "Homecoming King," I realize that the reason why Hasan Minhaj's stories really connect with me is because I am just like him, and if you feel alienated in your own country, you might feel the same way. I, too, have been rejected because of the color of my skin. That being said, Minhaj doesn't let this become his defeat, but rather, he overcomes it. The ending of "Homecoming King" left me with the impression that if Minhaj can survive in this crazy, messed up world, then so can I, and so can you.

I highly recommend this stand-up special to you. It is intimate, tragic, and, dare I say, genius.
