As Meryl Streep wrapped up her anti-Trump Golden Globes speech earlier this month, she quoted Carrie Fisher: “Take your broken heart, make it into art.” And in light of Donald Trump’s presidency, several liberal personalities are doing just that. But as the fight over the president’s “Muslim ban” rages on, one problem in Hollywood has grown increasingly hard to ignore: there are very few Muslim performers with any sort of major platform. In late-night, for instance, there is only one consistent on-screen presence: Daily Show senior correspondent Hasan Minhaj. Minhaj has been part of the show since 2014, before the departure of Jon Stewart. In the Trevor Noah era, though, Minhaj has really started to break out—and not a moment too soon. In the face of all the anti-Muslim rhetoric sure to come from Trump’s administration, Minhaj is exactly the voice late-night needs right now.

On Tuesday, Minhaj addressed Trump’s executive order—which bars refugees and travelers from seven predominantly Muslim countries—for the second night in a row. In a biting yet energetic video, the correspondent broke down exactly how the directive works—and pointed out that one of Trump’s key advisers, Kris Kobach, already has a troublesome history with Muslim registries. (Interestingly, the broadcast briefly cut out during Noah’s interview with A.C.L.U. head Anthony D. Romero—but Noah later confirmed on Twitter that it was just a technical blip, rather than anything nefarious.)

The segment was a perfect follow-up to Minhaj’s contribution Monday night in which he addressed the ban by asking Noah, in a humorous panic, if he’s going to get banned. When Noah told his correspondent that he should be safe, as a U.S. citizen, Minhaj seemed unconvinced: “We’re on Day 11, man. That’s it! Where do you think this is going to go?” He compared the situation to the thoughts of someone just tuning into Breaking Bad: ”‘Oh, this is just a science teacher cooking meth. It can’t get any crazier.’ But it does!”

Ever since Noah took over The Daily Show in 2015, Jon Stewart loyalists have complained that the new host relies more on his correspondents than his predecessor did. But increasingly, that distinct difference might prove to be a strength. Noah seems to be finding his own voice in the Trump era. But since Trump’s election, Noah’s willingness to amplify the other voices on his show—a Muslim man, an American black man (correspondent Roy Wood Jr.), an Asian man (correspondent Ronny Chieng), a white woman (Michelle Wolf)—could pay off in a big way.
