NEW YORK, October 23, 2018 - This fall, for the first time ever on television, comedy fans can witness Hasan Minhaj, Asif Ali, Aristotle Athiras and Fahim Anwar form like Voltron to become the incomparable comedy quartet Goatface, in the premiere of the group's first one-hour special!

The one-hour hybrid special weaves together ensemble sketches, an ensemble stand-up set, and individual stand-up performances from each member of the group. Goatface's wide-ranging comedic style encompasses pop-culture touchstones from sneaker hype to over-the-top '90s R&B lyricism; the unique trials and tribulations of being brown in America from "Starbucks names" to Islamophobia; and personal experiences with overbearing parents, witnessing the miracle of childbirth, and much more.

Leading up to the on-air premiere, cc.com and the CC App will feature preview clips from the special. On Wednesday, November 28, the full special will be available to stream in the CC App and on CC.com, and the uncensored version will be available for digital download on iTunes, Prime Video, Microsoft Movies & TV, Google Play, Vudu and Verizon Fios on Demand. Fans on Twitter can follow Minhaj at @hasanminhaj, Ali at @alicomedy, Athiras at @athiras, Anwar at @fahimanwar and Comedy Central Stand-Up at @standup to join the social conversation around #Goatface.

Ali, Anwar, Athiras and Minhaj formed Goatface in 2011 when the four friends and budding comedians decided to make viral sketches about pop culture, sports, family, politics and more, from the perspective of being a brown person in America. Since then, the four have gone on to advance their careers both separately and as a group, leading to the first Goatface one-hour special this November on Comedy Central.

A first generation American, Minhaj joined The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, where he was Jon's last hire, in November 2014 as a correspondent and continued on in that role after Trevor Noah took over as host the following year.
