As the host stand in, I repeatedly perform the show every day for rehearsal and show days, imitating Hasan Minhaj's cadence, rhythm, inflections, and his movements--especially of his arms. I am used to perfect the live taping of the show, assisting the writers in the coherence and hilarity of the script, the timing of the graphics and lighting cues, and the blocking by the director and 5 cameras.This job requires careful analysis of Hasan's performances and demeanor. It is up to me to draw that energy from within myself and match it. Every week I'm able to study a real human being, analyze him, try and perfect his nuances, and perform as him for the benefit of the whole show.
