I wanna know how you answer the hand situation. You’re constantly voguing
on stage and I’m shocked that you learned to vogue at such a young age. In rehearsal I tried using them less and then I felt really self-conscious and I started just like, moving my body while I was like, reading the copy. The hand issue is no issue, I just wondered for me. You use your hands a lot, too. You’re– but you’re smoother. I do– I’m very animated and
I do use my hands a lot. However, if I started to realize
that I’m using them too much, I will fold my arms and continue
to talk and just use one hand. It’s just comfortable. It’s just comfortable. Hey guys, it’s Hasan Minhaj. Today marks the one year anniversary of Patriot Act. So, I wanna call someone who has been instrumental
to the success of the show. Tan France. Hello Hasan, how are ya? Hey, what’s going on man? I am on vacation, I would love to be in the U.S. with you, But– I’m not willing to give up
a vacation for anyone. I hate you so much
that you’re on vacation. You know we don’t take
vacation here in the States. I needed it, oh my God, look how grey I went. I used to have black hair
and now it’s like this. So remember how
sometimes I’ll text you and I’ll message you
and I’ll be like, “Let’s hang out.” And you’re like, “Look, I’m filming this thing. Uh, I can’t do this, I’m like juggling three shows right now. But if you and your wife
want to come to Utah and hang with me and my husband, we can totally do that.” Is that offer still on the table? It has always been on the table. Whenever I say to somebody, “You’re welcome,” I don’t say it unless
I actually 100 percent mean it. If you came to Utah, I’d be very, very happy, ANd– I’m sure your wife would love it. Okay. So Tan, it has been a year, officially, since Patriot Act launched. You’ve done how many seasons of Queer Eye? Between last October and this October
you guys have knocked out another two? We knocked out another two, and an international mini series. This is the Japan? It sure is and it comes out very soon. There’s been so many amazing things
that have happened this year, I haven’t had time to take stock. However, I wouldn’t take back
any of the busyness because, um– I’ve had the year of my life. Like I’ve had such an incredible, incredible year. I went to Japan, which was,
uh, on my bucket list. It was the top of my bucket list. We won Emmys again, which blew my mind. We won more this year That’s so cool. than we did last year. Your team won something! Yeah, we won an Emmy for
Motion Design and Graphics, yeah. And very well deserved,
very, very much deserved. They’re incredible. Yeah. They really are, they really are. Um, so yeah, the Emmys blew my mind. I left early. They’re really really long. I have a show called, it’s a web
series called Dressing Funny, Yeah, how am I not an EP on the show?! How am I not getting
any credit for this, Tan?! You know, I don’t know. The series made me really jealous. ’Cause I think you’re closer to
Pete Davidson than you are to me. I am. I’ve known Pete longer, and I– Noooo! No, that’s a diplomatic way
of saying, “Yes, it’s true.” Alright, wait I’ve got questions for you. It has been a year. A lot of stuff went down, yeah, that I expected. That I didn’t expect. Can you give us an idea
of what’s coming? Or no? Can I? Wait, by the time this comes out–
episodes will have aired, or no? He can tease it for goodness sake. Can I tease it? Okay, I’m gonna tease it. Go. And then we’re gonna decide
in edit if we’re gonna bleep it. – But what do you think of this idea?
– No, you tease it, and then I’ll tell you what
I know about it. Go. Okay, alright. Uh, [bleeped] Ah, fuck. Oh, sorry. Tell me again, sorry. Do you like it, do you like that? It’s a wonderful one. I know nothing about
how to help people with any [bleeped] But yes, I think it’s a great one. Okay. So you obviously have
had a huge impact on my life. – Yes.
– And... The fashion choices that I’ve made. I want you– this is a big moment. We’re one year, this is our one year anniversary
of Patriot Act. I want you, Tan France, to judge the outfits
I wore on Patriot Act this year. I already know what my favorite one is. I have an idea. I have a guess. Do you wanna start with your favorite
or do you wanna build to your favorite? No, I wanna start with it because uh– Okay. It’ll be funny to talk about
how the rest of it went. I believe, I believe your favorite was
the episode I wore for “cruise ships.” You wore the captain’s outfit
and your regular. – You’re talking About that right?
– Yes. So, cruise was my second favorite. My favorite is the drug episode– “Drug Pricing.” Okay, what’d you like about it? I like that it was layered, so it was more interesting than just a top. And I like the colors. I thought it looked really slick
and I thought it looked really expensive, which I always appreciate. Why does it have to look expensive?
It just has to look like “luxury?” I don’t think it has to look luxurious, I just think if– I’m about to beat myself up royally– but I can wear a t-shirt from Walmart and a jacket from somewhere inexpensive and a pair of pants from the Gap... And as long as it’s fitting the right way and the fabrics look a certain way, it can look like something that costs
ten thousand dollars. And that’s what this looks like. I have no idea where you got
any of these pieces from, but it looks expensive, which
I think looks really nice for TV. Should we just go through each in order? Wait, can I give my gen– No, can I please lead this Hasan? I’ve got my general feedback. Take me to the promised land. Okay. Are we being honest? Yes. Okay, great.
Well then we will be honest. Remember I am family and family can say
whatever they want. UH HUH. My god, you wear a lot of sweaters. And it looks like you’ve
got one in every color. Yeah, I do. Going forward, I would love to see like, just something a little
different than a sweater. But what do I wear besides
a sweater or an oxford? Oh my God, add that jacket, like when you added
that jacket on “Drug Pricing” I’m like, all he had
to do was add a fucking jacket. And it makes a difference,
like it looks different. And instead of wearing that sweater I wish it was like, even just a plain t-shirt underneath. You’ve switched it up. Like I would have really liked that. Okay. An added layer just makes it look
like you’ve put a look together as opposed to
“I just put clothes on.” I move a lot and I want it to feel like I’m comfortable moving. I want you to be somebody
that looks in charge. Whoa. And so even if you’re
slightly uncomfortable, it may not look that way
when I’m watching the show. I’d just think, “He put a look together, like he’s– that bitch is better than me, and so I’m gonna listen to him.” What about the hoodies? I started doing hoodies. I have noticed, but wait, wait, wait,
my favorite thing I really want you to use
the images that you’ve sent to me because every one you’re
very handsy in them all. Like every... It’s so good. I don’t know if you planned it, but it brings me so much joy. So not only– – I didn’t plan it.
– It just looks like they photoshopped the color of your sweater cause your actual physical pose
is exactly the same in every picture. Yeah. Okay. I’m not– You’re making me look like I’m like– Let me just give you, I want to show you. We’re going to turn this up, just so you can see the
visual cause it really is funny. Do you see that? Yeah. Yeah, it’s this. They literally switched
out the color. I liked– I liked the blue
hoodie a lot. And you don’t– and you don’t think that looks–
that’s a little juvenile? It’s a little casual. It’s a little casual. Especially the green one. That was too young for
the severity of the show. I would take you more seriously
if you were in another sweater. Really? See, I try to mix it up. See, like, this is what I’m talk– I can’t get it right. The world doesn’t only belong
to either a sweater or a sweatshirt– It’s that or a suit.
Then I have to start wearing suits. No you could wear that,
you could wear that cruise shirt, which I liked very much
in another color. I did also like your
Thom Browne moments a lot. How about “Global NRA?” People in the audience said, “You forgot to download
the rest of your sweater.” I really liked the ombré. That was the only time I was like, “Okay, it is actually changed up,
he’s got a different color going on.” And I like that sometimes you’re playing
with your trousers instead of your top. So Sudan, did you see
those trousers? Those are crazy. That’s wild, it’s like I’m a car salesman
in the 1970s. They were my least favorite. That was my least favorite
look of the season. I’m sorry. Why? I don’t like a jazzy pant. But there’s only two
places you can jazz– the top or the bottom. I know, I just don’t like a checkered
pant without a suit jacket. Do you know that term you taught me? It was uh “fuckboy.” Fuckboys don’t wear checkered pants. Fuckboys wear– lightning blue hoodies and Nikes. Isn’t fuckboy showy, no? No no no no– fuckboys are like, Indian dudes that dress like Drake. How about Episode 306? “Why Your Internet Sucks.” I completely changed it up. I did a nehru shirt. I could’ve done without the sneakers. That’s 50% of my personality, Tan. I love a sneaker, always,
but I wish you had done the sneaker you wore on [Episode] 305 with them. Okay, finally. How do you feel about
what I’m wearing right now? I love– I was honestly when you started
the call I thought I don’t know why he doesn’t wear this
sweater on the show. I could make my peace
with all the sweaters because they’re very
nice simple sweaters. You pull them down a lot. Do you know this? Yes. You don’t have a super long torso,
and so you pulling down your shirt– your sweater– makes then your torso look much
longer and your legs look much shorter. I wish you would just let it be. Just show my tummy? No no no no no. You know how there’s the band,
the ribbed band of a sweater? And then if you pull it down
the sweater lays completely flat. Oh, let it poof a bit. Otherwise your– your torso then looks super super long
and your legs look really small. Okay. The world has been asking about
something very specific and– – It is driving me,
– to honor you It’s the main question I get. That annoying– that jacket. Did you lose it? How could I Ever – lose the jacket that you gave me?
– So why have you never worn it? Because I was waiting for this moment. It’s a damn good jacket. It’s a cool jacket. But it’s got a tiger on the back! I love the tiger on the back,
that’s what makes it more interesting. (Can we hold for a second?) Yeah. Oh, we can’t keep it on because it jangles? (Yeah it’s super jangly. So if...) Oh, this is why I can’t wear it. Ohhhh! You can hear, like,
the jingling of the buttons. It was a rookie mistake.
I did not realize it jingle jangled. We’ll find a backup option for ya. Okay, so we learned a lot today. Let’s finalize with
Tan’s four tips going forward. Number one. Reduce the number of sweaters
we’re wearing to maybe like, a fifth of the season only instead
of four fifths of the season. Okay, less sweaters. YEah. Number two. Let the sweaters poof.
Stop pulling them down. Okay. Three. Uh, no more, uh, checkered pants. No more jazzy pants? No more jazzy pants. You don’t need the jazzy pant. You’re jazzy enough as it is. And our fourth and final tip will be... You will restyle me again? Yes. So last time I was just fucking around
I would never put you in half of that stuff. This time I’m– we’re not playing. Like if we do it,
I want to put you in things that I truly would put you in. I know you’re gonna look incredible. Isn’t it so lovely the response from
the South Asian community after that video? It was incredible. It was one of the most beautiful
things I’ve ever seen in my life. It was really amazing. Isn’t it sad also to think that
they were so deprived of South Asian interaction that this
was such a highlight for them? Like it truly, really is one of
the most special things I ever did. Can you just do me a favor? Here’s what we have to do. We have to find Zayn Malik and then the three of us
HAVE to hang out and the internet will literally shut down. I could find him easily enough. He’s from my neck of the woods. That’d be amazing. Let’s do it. Zayn if you’re watching this, let’s all hang out. Yes and he’ll serenade us whilst we shop. Amazing. In Urdu preferably. Yeah that’d be dope. Yes, please. Last question: If you could host an
episode of Patriot Act, now you know what the show is,
what would you host an episode on? What Topic? Uh, I know 100 percent what I would do. It’s simple. I would, uh, try and dissect why
entertainment, or show business, or Hollywood in general refuses
to cast South Asian people as the desirable lead. I want to talk about why white
is seen as beautiful only OR or very pale versions of brown people. Um, and then I would wanna take down [Bleeped] Dude I’m serious,
this is like an episode. We could do this. Tan, I’m gonna do this with you. – All right, good.
– Okay. Uh, I love you man. I love you too. Really good to speak to ya. Okay. I’ll speak to you soon. Inshallah. All right, inshallah. Bye. Tan, thank you so much for the advice. I promise you I will try new things this season. I’ll see you guys back
November 10th with new episodes every Sunday on Netflix. And Tan, I will see you in Utah.
This made me so happy!
