This is my introduction to ALOK (I'm old). I love him! I love his humor, intelligence, and eloquence. His wisdom tells me he's an old soul. Will definitely be paying more attention to ALOK.
@@teresamason8997 went straight to finding ALOK's books, myself, & couldn't find the words to say how I felt these guests elevate us...let me second thanks for showcasing talent!
That is beautiful. Sammy Obeid talked at his show about how people questioned why he's joking during tragedy. He responded something to the effect that life is tragic, and we need comedy to help us process it....But, he said it so much better! Like Alok and quite a few comics, he's an amazing person.
@@erinmac4750 in the Symposium ( near the very end), Plato reports Socrates’ claim that the same man knows how to compose comedy and tragedy, and he who is a tragic poet by art is a comic poet too.
Finally. FINALLY TDS invites Alok. We saw such a small slice of Alok. I hope everyone discovers their wisdom n how extremely brave and smart they are. They revealed my prejudices and made me a better person.
I couldn't sleep last night. I'm mourning the loss of my sister, as well as financial stress and a sense of uncertainty about this country's future. I turn on TDS, and on comes Alok. I didn't what to think at first, but I was completely transported by their beautiful positivity and insightful humor. I simply felt much much better, and that's how humor can save all of us.
Thanks for introducing me to Alok! I just watched their Biology show and I laughed so much at the relatable content, the very witty jokes, the emotional resonance of their experiences and the bold and creative reframings of hate and bigotry, social media, influencer culture, "therapy", ethnicity struggles and hilarious observations on life. Truly one of the funniest and most refreshing voices out there, I'm so grateful to have been introduced to their work. I really needed this today and I think many of us need a voice like Alok's at this difficult time.
Thank you daily show! Another home run with Alok!! Great interview, and for me an introduction to Alok. I just love it when somebody intelligent comes along and stimulates my thought processes. Best show out there for the thinking person.
I recently-ish saw Alok at a little upstairs theatre in Chennai and was inspired by the talent and global overlap they convey in each word. There is something rare and special about them that hearkens to world leader intellectual diplomat vibes. What a great speaker and elevated thinker.
That's a great quote to remember, as long as you're not using it as a power play to undermine people caring about issues that affect their lives and the lives of people they love.
@onepartyroule When I think of it I remember that life has an ending and what you do with what you have is what will be remembered. I am a skeleton and so is everyone else. My mind and actions are what matter most so I try to be a positive force in the world while I'm here.
Thanks for the intro! Loving everything Alok said. I really resonate with the whole concept of Joy being the best (in my words) revenge against people who try to hate someone into misery.
It is so freaking cool to see Alok on the Daily Show!! I followed them on ig years ago & have always loved their beautiful storytelling & poetry but I had no idea they were currently practicing comedy! They have such a wonderful way with words & I so greatly appreciate their take on comedy & death.
Jason you are smart. And demonstrate it. The beginning back and forth, then the rest. ALOK is great. Y’all rock. I am a cell in the body of humanity, not just this body-and-me.
THE SHIRT IS BEAUTIFUL EDIT: ALSO THEIR WORDS ARE 💕 Fantastic interview, first thing to give me some anxiety relief since the inauguration (and Im not even in the US)
Congratulations on hitting the 200k milestone! That's an incredible growth from 14k in just a few months - what strategies or investments did you implement to achieve this remarkable success?
I'm beyond thrilled to see your progress! From 14k to 200k in such a short time is amazing. Would love to hear about your journey and the key decisions that led to this success.
Hello, how did you achieve such monthly returns? I'm a newbie and I've lost a lot of money investing on my own. Please how do I go about it, the year is almost coming to an end, how can I make profit?
As a beginner, it is essential that you have a mentor to help you stay accountable. In my case, Elizabeth Marie Hawley has guided me for months and I highly recommend her. I focus on her. To be honest, I'm almost hesitant to let someone take charge of growing my finances, but I'm so glad I did.
I'm desperate to turn my finances around. I've been working three jobs just to pay off debt. Can someone please share contact or information? I need her help.🙏
Thank you so much, TDS!! Have not heard of ALOK before this interview but oh my gravy they are the outlook I needed rn!!! So much love and gratitude 🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜🙏🏼
I have never heard of ALOK, but i really enjoyed this interview. He’s funny and smart. And i love how comfortable he is with himself, and how positive he is. Let’s find a place for humor during the next four years!
That special was ABSOLUTELY GENIUS. Was definitely needed right now. Mortality equals empathy 1000% but its unfortunate this country is ran by elites who don't care...
"give me the ego of a white man who thinks AI can prevent climate change" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love them! What brilliant sarcasm and great sense of humour and style they have.
i was just like you, watching videos and reading posts about manifestation, wondering why it wasn’t working for me. i tried everything-affirmations, visualization, the whole deal-but nothing changed. then i came across Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it all started making sense. chapter 3 opened my eyes to the energy i was putting out, and that shift was life-changing.
I loved this!!! I noticed some of it was lost on the audience but maybe slow the delivery down- this guy is incredibly clever funny. I’m going to listen to it over and over like a new loved song. Thank you ❤
been there, wondering why manifesting seems to work for everyone else but not for me. i followed all the advice, but nothing seemed to click. then i read Vibrations of Manifestation by Alex Lane, and it completely shifted my perspective. chapter 3 has this one idea that changed how i see energy, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer for me.
This is my introduction to ALOK (I'm old). I love him! I love his humor, intelligence, and eloquence. His wisdom tells me he's an old soul. Will definitely be paying more attention to ALOK.
They, not he. Glad you love them, though!
Catch Alok on “We Can Do Hard Things” podcast. 2 episodes!! ✨
@@Sofistacationbruh u cant be serious
@@00z53very serious… if Original commenter likes Alok, they wouldn’t mind knowing the pronouns Alok uses.
@@b1rdBniCEnot They, He or She would not mind to address "Them" as They 😮😮😂😂😂😂
Went straight from this segment to find ALOK's special. Excellent! Thanks for showcasing talent.

Someone else said it, but I heard it from Brennan Lee Mulligan: "Comedy completes the cycle that Tragedy begins."
That is beautiful. Sammy Obeid talked at his show about how people questioned why he's joking during tragedy. He responded something to the effect that life is tragic, and we need comedy to help us process it....But, he said it so much better! Like Alok and quite a few comics, he's an amazing person.

What Alok said about mortality and empathy is beautiful.
It is. Unfortunately, the religious nuts out there think they win in death

Condolences for the loss of your sister. I don’t know this guest but I’ll admit I certainly wasn’t expecting a conversation like this.
So very sorry about your loss 😢
❤
sending you healing during your grieving, i am glad alok could help ease this transitional period in your life 💜
He's positively a predator, for sure.
Google him.
Such fun chemistry with Jordan and Alok! I am so in love with how Alok is healing humanity, and I’m so excited for their special.

Yes,thank you Daily Show. Alok is an absolute gem in this insane world.

I have 10 shirts in various prints that say "One day we'll all be skeletons". It's my favorite saying.
Philip DeFranco's kid's quote?
@JustStopPlayingGames Yes it is! I have health issues so the statement brings me a smile and a feeling of comfort.
yes, and scientists will say "this skeleton was male"
That's a great quote to remember, as long as you're not using it as a power play to undermine people caring about issues that affect their lives and the lives of people they love.

Alok is an incredible human and has so much to teach us about love.
I have noticed your consistency on here liking and commenting on my posts . I'll love to get to know you better. and how long you've been a fan.
I loved this interview! Thank you Daily Show
ALOK is a beautiful genius: thank you for what you do and who you are 🙏
Love you Alok 🙏🏿💙💙
Love you alok!!! Always so witty and charming 🥰🥰
Love, love, love the Daily Show. ✨🤍✨

ALOK always comes with the poetry, comedy, compassion, wisdom. A true gem.
I'm urging everybody to go read everything that Alok wrote, it's a masterclass everytime.
Have known Alok since I was a young man. They’re articulating now what they were cultivating as a younger person. Shout out 5:17
yuk
Thanks for introducing me to Alok - their special is great and I can't wait to see what they do next.
You mean his special
@DemonHunter2806 awww, did the snowflake get hurt feelings because someone's pronouns were respected? Diddums.
yikes
@cass_p I spent this whole video eager to get to the end purely so I could go and watch their full special, so I second all of that! 🤗
Jason you are smart. And demonstrate it. The beginning back and forth, then the rest.
ALOK is great. Y’all rock.
I am a cell in the body of humanity, not just this body-and-me.
Beautiful insight♡ It'll drive the Fox bunch nuts~ a double delight! ✨️✨️
What a beautiful human being! We all want unconditional acceptance❣️
why the paid-for bot comments, daily show?
Can't wait to watch the special. Alok is such a thoughtful, joyful person 🎉
As a two spirit person myself this gives me hope. Alok is always so amazing and they sure shine! We need more conversations around death and dying.
This guy is so amazing to be able to stay on topic, and have responses that are so deep, thoughtful and respectful. He’s great 👍
All living is Stand Up Comedy!! Gold. Thank you.
if zucc wants masculine energy he should just go on grindr
ouch ! 😂 you are saying he’s undercover
Alok, you are absolutely hilarious, and always on point. Can't wait to see the special!!
Alok is very much a stoic and an existentialist! Very reminiscent of Man’s Search for Meaning ❤️ so beautiful
THANK YOU❤❤❤ what an honour to have this guest

That Special was Amazing, never heard of Alok before their special...and Wow, what a Great Introduction!
Hit 200k today. I'm really grateful for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with 14k in June 2024

They are funny and smart, kind, and loving. They are a tremendous artist 🔥
It's a woman
Look up all the podcasts they’re on. They are so wise, and poetic.
Just FYI, they use they/them pronouns, not he/him.
@@gsgx2This is why the right makes fun of us.
Thank you for sharing different and lovely perspectives…oh, yes. Death and powerful comedic humor🕊👏❣️
Thank you for this discussion ❤❤❤
Among two of my favorite humans. ❤
I love love love you Alok❤
Yay! Love this guy
Confounding comment. 😅
I never knew ALOK, love them!! So smart, brave, inciteful and funny!
are you a robot?
Are you? You think like one. You know, kind of one track and mechanical.
This is the best of humanity! 🥰
We're doomed then.
@@merryboy Really??
HE(not they) doesn't belong to humanity.
@@kennyjones6891did you watch the video?
That special was ABSOLUTELY GENIUS. Was definitely needed right now.
Mortality equals empathy 1000% but its unfortunate this country is ran by elites who don't care...
That is the best opinion/view on life and comedy I have listen too for a long time.
Humor as an act of resistance 💙
What a hilarious person!
We'll never stop joking about grandma rolling up in a Cadillac Escalade for her funeral. Nicest car she ever rode in, and she never even knew
Brilliant, funny, on point👌
An interviewer is great
"give me the ego of a white man who thinks AI can prevent climate change" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I love them! What brilliant sarcasm and great sense of humour and style they have.
I want ALOK to be on the Neal Brennan podcast.
So densely packed with intelligence, wit, humanity and fun !
I do not have enough words! THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT DEATH!!!!!
Hey Alok, Are there any trans doctors? Where are the safe places? ……
/Love this!
Memento mori - you are an AMAZING human being Alok
